Parallel Literature

Parallel Literature

This is a partial list of works of fiction that are written within, or derived from, the framework of another work of fiction by another author. This list does not include franchised book series, which are typically works licensed by the publisher of the original work to use its settings and characters. This list thus excludes such works as Star Trek and Star Wars novels. Works on this list usually have the same setting and time period, and many of the same characters, but are told from a different perspective.
