Okay, all you avid readers, I need help.

I need actual books that reference books or plays that don't actually exist in our world (but we perhaps wish they did) a la "The Swordsman Whose Name was not Death" from The Privilege of the Sword.

Yes, I'm up to something, although I'm not sure of the shape or viability of it yet.

The series we're reading right now (The Prince of Nothing - currently The Darkness That Comes Before) references The Sagas, a collection of semi-historical works that kind of occupy a place between Bible, Koran and Greek mythos in the story.

and, oh, good, someone already mentioned The King in Yellow. I think someone did write (for varying values of "write") a surrealist version of it, but i also think it's one of those hard-to-find limited runs.
