* ''[[The Mysteries of Harris Burdick]]'' is a picture book that is built on this Trope. According to the forward, a children's book editor named Peter Wenders meets someone named Harris Burdick who claims to be an author and editor, who shows him 14 illustratons - which are dark, ominous, and often frightening - with titles and captions, claiming each is an illustration for a story he has written. They do indeed pique Wenders' interests, but he is unable to find or contact Burdick again. Eventually, he brought them to Chris Van Allsburg (the true author) who published the fourteen illustrations alone, hoping someone would come forward with information on Burdick. Until then, the reader is encouraged to imagine their own stories to go with the illustrations. Some authors - including [[Stephen King]] and [[Louis Sachar]] - have done so.
