We’re back with ten more incredible stories that failed first but ultimately became unforgettable. From The Stars My Destination to House of Leaves, these novels were too strange, too challenging, or too far ahead of their time—but readers finally caught up.In this second part of the series, I’ll share how experimental horror, surreal sci-fi, and ambitious fantasy went from niche obscurities to canon-level masterpieces.💬 Tell me in the comments which of these you’ve read—or which ones you’ve avoided because you heard they were “too weird.” You might want to change your mind!❤️ Huge thanks to our Patreon supporters for keeping Fantasy for the Ages alive!: https://www.patreon.com/FantasyForTheAges #FantasyForTheAges #FantasyBooks #SciFiBooks #HorrorCommunity #UnderratedBooks #CultClassics #BookTube #HiddenGems #NeilGaiman #GeneWolfe #UrsulaKLeGuin #HouseOfLeavesWant to purchase books/media mentioned in this episode?House of Leaves: https://t.ly/H1z_WThe House on the Borderland: https://t.ly/JgRmBThe Left Hand of Darkness: https://t.ly/avJCxThe Man Who Was Thursday: https://t.ly/qN6sPThe Princess Bride: https://t.ly/SuswQRiddley Walker: https://t.ly/nEJaoThe Shadow of the Torturer: https://t.ly/NGHa4Solaris: https://t.ly/Jth3pThe Stars My Destination: https://t.ly/y4QLVThe Vorrh: https://t.ly/3oANdWays to connect with us:Follow Jim/Father on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13848336-jim-scriven Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/jMWyVJ6qKk Follow us on "X": @Fantasy4theAges Follow us on Blue Sky: @fantasy4theages.bsky.socialFollow us on Instagram: fantasy_for_the_ages Follow us on Mastodon: @[email protected] Email us: [email protected] Check out our merch: https://www.newcreationsbyjen.com/collections/fantasyfortheagesJim’s Microphone: Blue Yeti https://tinyurl.com/3shpvhb4 Jim’s Camera: Razer Kito Pro https://tinyurl.com/c873tc2n 0:00 - Opening1:19 - Episode Explanation1:28 - 10 More Flops to Fantastic8:08 - Conclusion & Wrap-up————————————————————————————Music and video elements licensed under Envato Elements:https://elements.envato.com/
