Can you recommend some weird literary fiction works?

Sure. 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a great example. It has a very strange and claustrophobic atmosphere as the narrator descends into madness while being confined in a room with the eponymous wallpaper. Another one is 'The Call of Cthulhu' by H.P. Lovecraft. It features the terrifying and otherworldly Cthulhu, a being that defies human comprehension.

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

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.

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.

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.

Sure. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a great one. It tells a story about racial injustice in the American South through the eyes of a young girl. It's a powerful exploration of morality and prejudice.

I would also suggest 'Iracema' by José de Alencar. This novel is set in the Brazilian wilderness and explores the relationship between the native people and the Portuguese colonizers. It's a beautiful and tragic story that gives insights into Brazil's colonial history and the cultural clashes that occurred during that time.

Sure. 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck is a prime example. It portrays the hardships of the Joad family during the Great Depression, and readers can't help but feel compassion for their struggles. Then there's 'Oliver Twist' by Charles Dickens. The way Dickens depicts Oliver's innocent and difficult life in the workhouse and on the streets makes the reader feel for him. And 'Anne of Green Gables' by L. M. Montgomery, where the character of Anne, an orphan, is so endearing that it elicits compassion from the reader throughout the story.

One well - known bisexual literary fiction is 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. It subtly explores themes of bisexuality among other complex ideas through the character of Dorian Gray.
