Drace (dracenines) | 6376 comments Everything in this OP has been taken care of already. Please scroll down to post #5 for the issue that needs to be corrected.

Title says it all. There's a bit of work that needs to be done on this upcoming book.

If this is too small for the projects folder, let me know and I'll move it to regular book/author issues.

Link: Best Horror of the Year, Volume Fifteen

- The title is incorrect. It needs to be "The Best Horror of the Year", not just "Best Horror".

- The cover art is missing. It can be found here:

- I am unsure if this is a valid source, but the full table of contents and author list has been posted on the editor's website. If this isn't a valid source, I'll wait until it's available on Amazon. If it is, I'll provide the author list in the next post.

Scott | 4605 comments Title corrected, cover added. I also added the authors who appear on the cover.

Book Issues would be a better place for this request.

Moved to the proper folder. Thanks for letting me know.

There are a lot more authors in the anthology than the ones on the cover, which is why I asked if the editor's official website is a valid source or not. If it is, please let me know if you want me to post the authors in the order they appear in the table of contents or in alphabetical order and I will do so.


message 4: by Scott (new)

Scott | 4605 comments Her page would be okay, if you would link to it, or copy them here. I just added those to start with. Generally we add them in the order they appear in the contents or the cover, but as far as site functionality it only matters that the editor is primary.

Drace (dracenines) | 6376 comments Contributor list is as follows:

Angela Slatter
Jeffrey Ford
Garry Kilworth
Steve Toase
Livia Llewellyn
Steve Duffy
Tananarive Due
Andy Davidson
Daniela Tomova
Alison Littlewood
Jordan Shiveley
David Surface
Gemma Files
Gary McMahon
Gemma Amor
Stephanie M. Wytovich
Charlie Hughes
Margo Lanagan
Luigi Musolino
James D. Jenkins [note: rather than Contributor, James D. Jenkins should be given the Translator role. He translated Musolino's short story. Unsure if he should go right after Musolino or at the end of the author list on the book's page, so I'll leave that to you.]
Jacob Steven Mohr
John Langan [note: there are multiple John Langans on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, so please make sure you have the horror author. There are two spaces between his first and last name rather than one.]

Thanks for all of your help.

It will take a little while to show correctly, due to caching.

Thank you so much for your help.

Understandable, I already knew some librarians don't like adding contributors to anthologies too often because it takes such a long time to do, and the bots exacerbating that must be a nightmare.

One final question: since the description is incorrect (the Amazon page originally used the Vol. 14 description as a placeholder before the correct Vol. 15 description was written), should I copy/paste the correct description into this thread for correction, or should I start a new thread?

Drace (dracenines) | 6376 comments Corinne wrote: "this is what it says now:

what needs to change?"


You can tell it's the text from Vol. 14 instead of 15 because it says "with the fourteenth volume of the series". The description is otherwise exactly the same, you just have to change "fourteenth" to "fifteenth".
