You think it’s hard to get a book published now, imagine how hard it is to get one published when you’re dead. But these authors did it, and here’s a list of seven books published posthumously to help you click off that box on the BookRiot Read Harder challenge.
I personally recommend The Opposite of Loneliness. Marina was a recent graduate of Yale, my alma mater, when she passed away in a car accident. She had such a bright future ahead of her and this work, published and compiled after her death, really shows that.
The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
The Last Tycoon by F Scott Fitzgerald
The Millenium Series by Stieg Larsson
