Just a fun little list of books that have inspired songs. Please list the book and the song with the artist in your suggestions, or if it's a concept album based on a book, just include the book and the album with the artist. I will not be including any books by JKR, Neil Gaiman, or Orson Scott Card, or songs by Iced Earth. Will not be adding musicals based on books, songs written for films based on books, or songs that are classic poems to music.

I could take you to the first, second, third floor 🏠

I tried to arrange the list so that it takes us from the basement to the attic like a real house!

as always, taking any and all suggestions!!!

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Books from chapter six Gothic and Romantic of Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix. Each chapter has its own list see my other lists for books from his other chapters. All are paperbacks from the 70s and 80s. To quote Grady Hendrix’s definition of horror “Gothic horror was domestic horror in which affairs of the heart were as important as affairs of the flesh. Is subject matter was families, marriage, houses, children, insanity, and secrets.” (147, Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix).

Books that feature characters being held captive, imprisoned, kidnapped, etc. If it is a series, only the first book is listed. Some may be captivity adjacent & added via recommendation.

Books which include twins, preferably as main characters or as supporting characters which are a big part of the story . All genres including non-fiction.

Please feel free to comment and add to the list!
