Favorite nonexistent literary work?

[Mr. Sodium]

What about your favorite literary work that doesn't exist? From The Necronomicon to The Escapist comics to the original screenplay for O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Well?

I think mine would have to be Tobin's Spirit Guide, although if I wrote a horror story, I'd have to have Unausprechlichen Kulten in it for some reason.

-Mr. Sodium

[Greg Hansen]

Of course, the Necronomicon.

Also...

The Book of Eibon, Livre d’Eibon, or Liber Ivonis
Cultes des Goules by the Comte d’Erlette
De Vermis Mysteriis by Ludvig Prinn
The Eltdown Shards
The People of the Monolith by Justin Geoffrey
The Pnakotic Manuscripts
Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan
Unaussprechlichen Kulten, Black Book, or Nameless Cults by Friedrich von Junzt
The Revelations of Glaaki

Also, in some sick deep seated way, it would be interesting if the video cassette from 'Ringu' was real.

[Seabass Inna Bun]

"Where God Went Wrong"
"Some of God's Greatest Mistakes"
"Who Is This God Person Anyway?"
"The Celestial Homecare Omnibus"
"Bathsheets in Space" (far too large to carry, but it sits magnificently on fashionable coffee tables)
"Heavily Modified Face-flannels (an altogether terser work, for masochists)
"The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
"Playbeing"

[Mr. Sodium]

What about Fifty-three More Things To Do in Zero-Gravity?

[Kirby Drummond]

The Books of Bokonon

[muncie girl]

There's always the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, (printed by the Handbook for the Recently Deceased Press).
Which reminds me, my old Beetlejuice soundtrack had an offer inside to buy bookcovers that were printed with the Handbook cover... did anybody spring for one of these? By the time I realized I should have one, it was too late.

Cool thread! :cool:

[Rath/Brendan]

The Lost Road, by J.R.R. Tolkien

[Greg Hansen]

Oh yeah...

The Book of Counted Sorrows by Dean Koontz.

I know there are rumours that someday he will actually collect all that he has written under it and complete it as some sort of epic poem or such. However, until then it is just a fictional book.

[Richard Dickson]

The Journal of the Whills

[Blofeld]

I echo that one, Poxy.

[Rath/Brendan]

The Man Who Was October by G.K. Chesterton

[Dan Laugharn]

Alice's Journey Behind the Moon by Lewis Carroll

[Mr. Sodium]

I almost forgot The Children's Wondera Book of Rainy Day Ipecacs.

-Mr. Sodium

[Rath/Brendan]

Under the Hood by Hollis Mason

[Jack Szagreus]

"Pholgiston & the Quantum Aether"

[Greg Hansen]

Johnny Butane:
Anything by Sutter KaneWOOT!

Fear Book the subject of the same titled book by John Byrne.

Oh and one for the kids...

The Neverending Story

[BullCow]

I don't remember the exact title, but something like Girls I'd Like To Boink from Throw Mamma From the Train. That's probably not even close to what the title was.

[Richard Dickson]

And let's not forget the entire bibliography of one Kilgore Trout.

[Johnny Butane]

Can't believe I forgot about Trout...Damn.

Isn't there already a book called 'The Neverending Story'? Or were you referring to the one in the actual movie?

[Tony Ryan]

All Trout books
The Love Parade
The Arsonists Daughter
And The Escapeist comics

[Greg Hansen]

Oh and The Philosophy Of Time Travel from Donnie Darko.

[DaveB]

The Nyce and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, a Witch

Think I got that mostly right. From Good Omens.
