Stanwyck Manor
Stanwyck Manor is ostensibly a novel series, by an unnamed author, that pairs a title character and member of the Stanwyck family with a peculiar item, or in a few cases, a strange animal, in a truly ridiculous and socially awkward situation. The adventures of the Stanwyck family in continuously salvaging their reputation, home, and fortune from an ongoing barrage of deep weirdness proved quite popular, leading to quite a few volumes.
However, part of the joke is that only the titles exist.
These were originally released in groups of 4, randomly selected, on the Fedi, with #36 and its explanation being in the final post.

#36: (unfinished) Pertwilliby Stanwyck and the Harmonium of Discord
Sadly, Pertwilliby Stanwyck and the Harmonium of Discord, which would have been #36, was left unfinished by the author's untimely demise. Given the circumstances surrounding the event, it was generally agreed between the publisher and the Fandom to not bring in another writer, and to leave the work unfinished.
