Public databases of novels for forensic linguistics tests?

from the self-post dept.

Are there any public, fiction databases that can be used as forensic linguistics control variables?

https://gutenberg.org has plenty of books, both fiction and non-fiction.

thanks, but Germans aren't allowed to use it.

I'm German, too. I just use the Internet Archive to get around the block: https://web.archive.org/web/20201222180719/https://www.guten...

For mass downloading, https://archive.org/details/gutenberg is probably better, but I like the presentation on the official Project Gutenberg website better.

my problem is that I don't know what sort of organization has targeted me. https://kirstenhacker.wordpress.com/2020/12/24/authorial-qui...
