I noticed that back in 1e, Les Misérables, Lord of the Flies, the Fall of the House of Usher, and fantasy-adjacent Macbeth were on the inspiring reading list.
While some of them initially seemed like curious choices, I definitely found that they helped me expand my writing style away from more typical fantasy narratives in my 2e campaign.
And considering how 2e has in general arguably an even more eclectic series of influences, I’ve been thinking about what other non fantasy works I should read to get into the headspace for writing in the setting?

While Horror Adventures and the 1e core rulebook covered print sources fabulously, there has never (to my knowledge) been a Pathfinder equivalent to Starfinder’s video game/tabletop section for inspirational media- and there were some fascinating and obscure picks on that one (Aerannis in particular).
I’m also curious if The Witcher video games would’ve been included in a hypothetical 2e inspirational media, as the original books were never named as inspirations in either of 1e’s sections.
