List of fictional books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fictional book is a non-existent book created specifically for (i.e. within) a work of fiction. Such a book may provide the basis of the novel's plot, add verisimilitude by supplying plausible background, or act as a common thread in a series of books or the works of a particular writer or canon of work. A fictional book may also be used as a conceit to illustrate a story within a story. A fictional book may also be essentially a joke title, thus helping to establish the humorous or satirical tone of the work. (Fictional books used as hoaxes or as purported support for actual research are usually referred to as false documents.)

Several stories in Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges' short story collection entitled Ficciones are reviews of fictional books; in this case, the fictional book is the basis of the story. As an example of the second use of fictional books, consider Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, whose scholarly footnotes to invented biographies, magical texts, newspapers and journals add substantially to the realism of the story. H. P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon might be considered an example of the third usage, since it appears as a recurring motif in several of the Cthulhu Mythos stories. Many (but not all) of the fictional books mentioned in the work of Douglas Adams are of the joke title variety.

This is a List of fictional books that appear in published print literature -- that is, books and other print media. For fictional books that appear in other media, such as television shows, see List of fictional books from non-book media.
