    As you may know already, John Updike wrote a novel called Gertrude and Claudius, though it was more of a retelling of Hamlet than a prequel to it.

    Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 440. While a hot book, it didn't quite catch fire.

    Stephenie Meyer's Afternoon made no impression on anyone. A classic case of a book happening too early.
