Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is what happens when you write a sequel to a series that was finished long ago, or continue the work of a dead author without his or her permission. Not to be confused with literal necrophilia or Literary Mash-Ups that involve zombies.
Some authors, such as J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, are famous for avoiding this by virtue of a throng of fanatic fans. (Not in Russia though.)
See also Outlived Its Creator and Sequel Gap. Franchise Zombie is when the franchise was supposed to die, but against the creator's blessing continued.

Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dogs, written by Christopher Reid and published by Faber and Faber in 2019, is the canine companion to Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats that T. S. Eliot occasionally talked about but never actually wrote.

The Night of the Triffids was published 50 years after The Day of the Triffids, and 30 years after the death of the original author (though with the permission of his estate). It adds extra gunfire and explosions and throws in some Hollywood Evolution as well, yet still manages a pretty fair stab at emulating John Wyndham's style of writing. Not exactly high art, but a decent page-turner.

The Aeneid was written as a sequel to The Iliad and The Odyssey, which were composed several hundred years before at least. Given that The Aeneid itself is now over two thousand years old, we can safely assume that this trope has been around for a long time itself.

Les Misérables has two sequels... both of which are titled "Cosette". Laura Kalpakian's Cosette: The Sequel To Les Misérables (1995) follows the plot of the musical rather than the original novel. François Cérésa's Cosette, or the time of illusions is also an act of literary necromancy, bringing Inspector Javert back from the dead to take a central role, and got Cérésa sued by Victor Hugo's heirs.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has Becky: A Novel, basically a romantic drama Perspective Flip with feminist leanings, centered around Becky Thatcher as a grown woman. It retcons most of the original book by explaining that Mark Twain was their Unreliable Narrator buddy who idolized Tom and skewed the story for the sake of Rule of Cool. (For instance, Injun Joe was falsely accused, and Becky accompanied the boys on all their adventures. In other words, what really happened was a lot more PC.)

The Phantom of the Opera examples:
Susan Kay's Phantom fleshes out the backstory Gaston Leroux gave Erik and goes on to retell the novel's events from the points of view of Erik, Christine, and Raoul.
The Phantom of Manhattan is a Frederick Forsyth novel that follows on from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical rather than the novel (with a lengthy preface in which Forsyth justifies doing so), as it originated from the early development of a sequel to the show. Many elements of it wound up in the actual stage sequel Love Never Dies.

The Tripods is a weird double example. The original trilogy is essentially a sequel to The War of the Worlds, written 70 years later. Then 20 years after the conclusion of the original trilogy, John Christopher decided to write a prequel to his old series, which winds up being basically The War of the Worlds all over again.

Pride and Prejudice:
There are a billion and one sequels to this novel. Readers apparently can't stand No Hugging, No Kissing and never seeing the act happen on-page. E.g. Wild And Wanton Pride & Prejudice includes all the dirty naughty bits that readers have been hungering for. Jane Austen's ghost will come to haunt Michelle Pillow yet...
For every continuation of the original story, there must be at least ten versions of the original novel told from Mr. Darcy's perspective.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a twofer zombification of the original.

The Phantom of Manhattan is a Frederick Forsyth novel that follows on from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical rather than the novel (with a lengthy preface in which Forsyth justifies doing so), as it originated from the early development of a sequel to the show. Many elements of it wound up in the actual stage sequel Love Never Dies.

Grendel by John Gardner goes all the way back to Beowulf and, like the previous example, has philosophical overtones which make it a school staple.

Scarlett, the sequel to Gone with the Wind.
And The Wind Done Gone, telling the original story from the point of view of the slave characters.
And Rhett Butler's People, from the point of view of... guess. The difference is, this one is authorized, and it adds a new ending.
