Hyperborea’s lore is so rich, it’s a shame there aren’t more official sequels! I’ve spent hours down rabbit holes trying to find follow-ups, and the closest thing might be the 'Hyperborean' cycle in H.P. Lovecraft’s mythos—borrowing the name but twisting it into cosmic horror. For pure fantasy, though, 'Kull of Atlantis' has that primordial vibe. Honestly, I’d kill for a modern author to take a swing at expanding it. Until then, fan theories and indie RPG supplements are my go-to for fresh takes.
As a longtime fan of weird fiction, I’ve always wondered why 'Hyperborea' never got a proper sequel. The original stories—scattered across old magazines—feel like fragments of a bigger tapestry. Some argue Lin Carter’s pastiches count as unofficial continuations, but they’re more homages than direct follow-ups. If you’re into tabletop gaming, though, the 'Hyperborea' RPG (formerly 'AS&SH') dives deep into world-building, adding new layers to the mythology. It’s not a book sequel, but it scratches that itch for more lore.
The world of 'Hyperborea' feels like this vast, untapped mythos that could span so many stories, but from what I’ve dug into, there isn’t a direct sequel—at least not under that exact title. The original pulp-era vibes and Robert E. Howard’s influence make it feel like it should have follow-ups, but most of what exists are spiritual successors or works by other authors riffing on the concept.
That said, if you’re craving more of that icy, sword-and-sorcery flavor, Clark Ashton Smith’s 'Zothique' stories or even some of Howard’s 'Conan' tales hit similar notes. It’s one of those settings where the lack of sequels almost makes it more intriguing—like a lost continent waiting for someone to map it properly.
No straight sequels to 'Hyperborea,' but the beauty of pulp fiction is how it inspires others. Michael Moorcock’s 'Elric' saga channels a similar melancholic barbarism, and if you squint, 'The Broken Sword' by Poul Anderson feels like it could share a universe. Sometimes, the gaps in a story’s canon leave room for imagination—I’ve filled notebooks with my own takes on what might lurk beyond those frozen wastes.

Man, I wish there were sequels to 'Cyrenaica'—it’s such an underrated gem! I stumbled upon it years ago, and the world-building just hooked me. The way it blended historical vibes with speculative fiction felt fresh, and I’ve been craving more ever since. Sadly, from everything I’ve dug up, the author hasn’t released any follow-ups or spin-offs. It’s one of those books that leaves you hanging in the best way, but also makes you desperate for closure. I’ve even joined a few fan forums where people theorize about where the story could’ve gone. Maybe one day we’ll get lucky and the author will revisit it.
In the meantime, if you loved 'Cyrenaica,' you might enjoy 'The Lions of Al-Rassan' by Guy Gavriel Kay—it’s got that same rich historical fantasy feel. Or 'The Grace of Kings' for epic political maneuvering in a unique setting. But yeah, no official sequels to 'Cyrenaica'... yet. Here’s hoping!
