Suggesting Wide Sargasso Sea (Jane Eyre) and Hungerstone (Carmilla)!

omg i dont have enough years in my life to get to all these amazing lists 😭😭😆

Eeeek I love this!! Are plays allowed? If so, may I recommend one of my fave weird spinoffs, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard?

your lists are always so creative, LOVE

omg what a fun list!!! definitely have to check out some of these!!

Oohh! This is so nice! Would these count:

One for All by Lilie Lainoff / The Three Musketeers Katabasis by R.F. Kuang / The Divine Comedy The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw / The Little Mermaid An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson / Carmilla Salt & Broom by Sharon Lynn Fisher / Jane Eyre

Apart from Hungerstone, which has been mentioned, may I suggest The Cockroach by Ian McEwan which is a spinoff of The Metamorphosis by Kafka!

Maybe the fox and the devil?

oh LOVE THIS so much

wait can i ask what in an absent dream is a spinoff of, it’s my favorite wayward children and i am wracking my brain but cant for the life of me figure it out

Would love to throw Tansy Rayner Robert's Season of the Dragon's onto your contemplation pile: It's a Pride and Prejudice from the POV of the Caroline Bingly character, but also with literal Dragons as the Grand Dames of Society.

oh i am obsessed with this list and obsessed with you !!!
