Would you read a story about a fictional being that doesn't exist in writing yet?

Um, what do I read and why?

I will only list one 19th century (A Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope), and one 20th century (The War Hound and the World's Pain by Michael Moorcock) novel, because otherwise the list will get too long, so I'll mostly limit myself to some 21st century works.

Firebrd by R. Garcia y Robertson


Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke


The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman


A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab


Hell Is the Absence of God by Ted Chiang


The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro

I suppose all of them involve humans encountering the fantastic?
