Bangsian Fantasy
Ever wonder how a famous and/or historical person would deal with the afterlife? John Kendrick Bangs an 19th Century American author - wrote many books and short stories with just that premise. Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Methusaleh, Gangus Kahn, Napolean you name the historical icon most likely they can be found within the adventures of a Bangsian novel.
Bangs also became the editor of Life, Harpers Magazine, and most famously Puck. These fantasies have been reflected in the writings of Philip Jose Farmers Riverworld and Alice Sebolds The Lovely Bones, among others.
As I researched which books fell under this fantasy subgenre, I looked for various formats e-books, trade paperbacks, traditional paperbacks, hardcover, and even a few are illustrated. The following are by John Kendrick Bangs:
