Line 18:
 
== Literature ==
* ''[[To Kill a Mockingbird]]'' by Harper Lee; she was so afraid that following books wouldn't be as good that she never wrote again. This has led to some conspiracy theories that say someone else (Truman Capote is the name most often brought up, as he was her lifelong friend) wrote it. These theories fall apart once it's pointed out that Capote was a notorious publicity hound.
* ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'' by Margaret Mitchell was her only novel. It is, however, quite the [[Doorstopper]].
* Emily Brontë, ''[[Wuthering Heights (novel)|Wuthering Heights]]'' ([[Author Existence Failure|she died of tuberculosis]] a year after publishing the book)
Line 49 ⟶ 48:
* Portuguese poet Cesário Verde only had one book published. This is because his poems read as modern ones and 19th century romantic society simply didn't like it.
* M.L. Humphreys. Some people believe that this was the pseudonym of a more-prolific author, but - in lieu of any hard evidence to support this - he (or she) fits under here. His/her only written work was a short story called ''The Floor Above'', mainly remembered today because it was one of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[Celebrity Endorsement|favorite horror stories]].
