For many of us, our first encounter with Mars was though novels of science fiction or science fantasy. From dry dying civilizations to humid jungles, and back again to desert, Mars has been the home to aliens, transported humans, souls of the dead, and angels. The works below represent over 100 years of speculative writing about Mars, writing that can excite us as much as pictures from rovers on the surface of the planet itself.

Novels are organized 2 ways: first, by individual subjects and then the entire list by the author's last name.
