Satan appears before you and grants you the wish to give a book of your choice a sequel which is just as well written as the first. Which book is it?

I guess short story compendiums are cheating, but Books of Blood by Clive Barker. He wrote two volumes, but his work has mostly been downhill since that point in his life. His highest point post-BoB was probably The Thief of Always (a children's book) of all things, but I may have my nostalgia goggles on for that one. I do know that the Abarat series past the first volume isn't particularly good or interesting since he killed off the villain I was most interested in in the second volume and Mister B. Gone is just awful outside of its gimmick.

That said, there are books that were never finished that would be interesting to see elaborated on.

These all sound really interesting actually. I have a lot of trouble imagining anyone being able to faithfully replicate Nabokov or Hemingway's style, so it'd be neat to same them finished.

If i had to choose an already finished novel to get a sequel... I guess I'd go with The Aeneid?

I suppose that since Virgil was roman (although idk when he lived exactly) he could perhaps have made an epic around the Germanic wars? I think that there could be an incredible poem written about the fall of Rome.

Certainly this tƅh

>>7455701
The work as a whole (with Brothers Karamazov as Part 1) was to be called The Life of a Great Sinner. Alyosha was going to take a dark turn (I think as part of a faith arc larger than that in TBK after he smelled a foul odor).
