What are some famous 'black death novel' examples?

One famous 'death sentence novel' could be 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. In this novel, there are elements related to the idea of a death sentence as the protagonist, Edmond Dantès, is wrongly condemned to life imprisonment which is like a death sentence in a way. He endures great hardships and then plots his revenge against those who wronged him.

There are indeed. Consider 'Lolita' by Nabokov. There were likely some editorial changes that Nabokov had to make to get the novel published. These changes might have been considered by some as 'editing to death' in the sense that they might have slightly altered the original vision. Also, in the case of some modern novels that are part of big - name franchises, the publishers may demand so many edits to fit a certain marketable image that the novel ends up being over - edited. This can happen when there is a lot of pressure to make the novel conform to a pre - set marketing or readership expectation.

As far as I know, there isn't a super - famous novel named exactly 'death day novel'. But there are books that touch on the concept. 'A Monster Calls' by Patrick Ness is about a boy dealing with his mother's approaching death. It doesn't use the term 'death day' but it has elements where certain days are significant in relation to the impending death. So while not a 'death day novel' in name, it has related themes.

One could consider 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' by Leo Tolstoy as an example. In this novel, Ivan Ilyich is on his death bed and the story delves into his thoughts and experiences as he faces death. It shows his realization about the emptiness of his previous life.

One famous Black Death ghost story is about the 'Plague Doctor' who is often depicted as a somewhat ghostly figure. In many tales, he haunts the places where the Black Death once raged, his long beak - like mask and dark robes making him seem otherworldly. He is said to be a reminder of the death and despair that the plague brought.

One example could be 'The Monk' by Matthew Lewis. It contains elements that can be related to the idea of a black mass in terms of the dark and immoral actions of some of the characters within a religious context.

Well, 'The Doomsday Book' by Connie Willis is quite well - known. It's a time - travel story that takes the reader to the time of the Black Death. It does a great job of depicting the harsh reality of that period, from the filthy living conditions to the helplessness of the people.

A famous one is 'The Masque of the Red Death' by Edgar Allan Poe. It uses the idea of a deadly plague, symbolized by the Red Death, to create a sense of horror and doom. The story is set in a prince's abbey where people try to escape the plague but ultimately can't.

There are quite a few well - known 'outsider novels'. 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck can be considered one. Lennie and George are outsiders in a way, constantly on the move and not really fitting into the society of ranch workers. Also, 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison. The unnamed narrator is an African - American man in a society that often makes him feel invisible and like an outsider due to racial discrimination.

One example could be 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. In this novel, there are certain elements that seem to be left 'blank' in a sense, like the open - ended nature of some of the mysteries. Another could be James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' which has a complex and often ambiguous structure that can be seen as having 'blank' spaces in terms of straightforward narrative understanding. Also, Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' has moments where the narrative seems to skip or leave things unsaid, creating a kind of 'blank' in the story.
