Jim (Father) and Zach (Son) talk about their ideas and perspectives on fantasy fiction, starting with Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series but straying in various other directions as well. The generational difference in how they view what they read will become obvious (and entertaining, they hope!). Come enjoy our debates and explorations over what all these books mean, and see who you agree with.

From Forgotten to Fantastic: 10 More SFF & Horror Legends That Time Redeemed

We’re back with ten more incredible stories that failed first but ultimately became unforgettable. From The Stars My Destination to House of Leaves, these novels were too strange, too challenging, or too far ahead of their time—but readers finally caught up.

In this second part of the series, I’ll share how experimental horror, surreal sci-fi, and ambitious fantasy went from niche obscurities to canon-level masterpieces.

💬 Tell me in the comments which of these you’ve read—or which ones you’ve avoided because you heard they were “too weird.” You might want to change your mind!
