Cartoon of the Day: Solar Eclipse

SOLAR ECLIPSE FICTION: Solar Eclipse 2024

I was thinking about books that feature solar eclipses, and the one that immediately came to mind was Jane Langton's Dark Nantucket Noon (Homer Kelly #2). I haven't read it in many years, but I do remember the opening scene with the eclipse. Thought I'd make a short list of some Eclipse Fiction--not all mystery.

Eclipse Novels

Nightfall by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg (science fiction)

Eclipse; Shroud by John Banville (not mysteries)

The Secret Mountain by Enid Blyton (Children's Lit)
The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan

Solar Eclipse by John Farris

King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard (adventure)

Jade Dragon Mountain by Elsa Hart

Prisoners of the Sun by Herge´(Tintin) 
He Said/ She Said by Erin Kelly
Gerald's Game; Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King

Dark Nantucket Noon by Jane Langton

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain (not a mystery, but a classic)
