I was perusing past threads and ran into this one by Darth Nader, which got zero replies.
So let’s try it again: What “teased but never written” books would you like to read? Personally, I want the missing chapters of Harry Flashman’s memoirs, Scouting For Trolls and Raising Taxes by PTerry and yes, the one Darth mentioned.
True crime writer once said she’d like to write a book about the Stayner brothers – Steven, who was kidnapped and held by pedophile Kenneth Parnell for seven years, and Cary, who was a serial killer. She never did.
Mary Webb never hinted at it, but Precious Bane cries out for a sequel. I mean, so Kester rescued her from the ducking stool just as the townspeople were trying to drown her for a witch … AND WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
I would have liked to have read Sherlock Holmes’ Case of the Giant Rat of Sumatra, “a story for which the world is not yet prepared.” (Of course, there have been pastiches by other authors.)
Everything that would have been written by Stieg Larsson, whose Millenium Trilogy was published posthumously after his death at age 50. I consider it to be the greatest literary work of his generation.
Alexei Panshin wrote the (wonderful!) “Anthony Villers Trilogy,” three very thoughtful, very witty, and totally fun novels. At the end of the third book, there is a blurb for the upcoming fourth – which, alas, Panshin never wrote.
