Can you recommend some weird literary fiction works?

One literary agent known for handling weird fiction is Howard Morhaim. His agency has been involved with some off - beat and strange fictional works.

There might not be a well - known body of work specifically titled 'other skies weird fiction'. However, works like China Miéville's 'The City & The City' has elements that could be associated. It has a very unique setting that is sort of like another world. Another could be Jeff VanderMeer's 'Annihilation' which has strange and otherworldly landscapes that could be seen as different skies in a sense.

Another one is Alastair Reynolds' 'Revelation Space' series. It has elements of new weird in it. There are these vast, mind - boggling space settings, with ancient and mysterious alien races and technologies that are just on the edge of being understood. The series combines science - fiction concepts like space travel and artificial intelligence with really out - there and strange ideas.

Edgar Allan Poe's stories, such as 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', can be seen as precursors to weird detective fiction. Although it was more of a traditional detective story for its time, it had elements of the strange and the grotesque. More recently, 'The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires' has a bit of a detective - like plot as the women in the book club try to figure out the truth about a vampire in their town. It mixes the normalcy of a southern town with the horror of the supernatural.

One great 2020 literary fiction work is 'The Vanishing Half' by Brit Bennett. It explores themes of race, identity, and family. Another is 'Leave the World Behind' by Rumaan Alam, which has a unique take on a post - apocalyptic - like situation in a contemporary setting. And 'Transcendent Kingdom' by Yaa Gyasi is also notable for its exploration of family, immigration, and the search for meaning.

Yes. 'Fun Home' by Alison Bechdel is a well - known queer literary fiction. It's a graphic memoir that combines family history with queer coming - of - age experiences. 'Maurice' by E. M. Forster is also a classic. It was written in the early 20th century but wasn't published until later due to its homoerotic themes. It beautifully portrays the struggles of a young man coming to terms with his homosexuality. 'Stone Butch Blues' by Leslie Feinberg is another important work that deals with transgender experiences and the queer community.

Of course. 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger is an immersive read. Holden Caulfield's journey through New York City and his thoughts and feelings about growing up and the phoniness of the adult world are very engaging. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde is another. The decadent London society and Dorian's strange pact and his moral decline are well - presented. Also, 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck, with its depiction of the Dust Bowl and the Joad family's journey, is immersive.

I'm not sure of specific works titled 'pagehabit literary fiction' as it might be a relatively unknown or new term. But some classic literary fiction works like 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen could potentially fit the bill. It has engaging characters and a story that keeps you interested, much like what 'pagehabit' might imply.

Douglas Adams' 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' is also a well - known comical literary fiction. It has a wild and zany plot, with absurd characters like Marvin the Paranoid Android, and it satirizes everything from science fiction tropes to human nature.
