Julia (varbalow) | 31 comments Land Under England by Joseph O'Neill (link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92...)

and The Black Shore by Joseph O'Neill
(link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

These were written by a Joseph O'Neill, but not the one that it is linked to on Goodreads (link: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...)

According to Amazon (and thus Wikipedia) the correct author information is:
"Joseph O'Neill was an Irish novelist. O'Neill was born in the Aran Islands, County Galway, Ireland, in 1886. He became a school inspector and subsequently Secretary of the Department of Education in the newly formed Irish Free State. He wrote five novels, of which the best-known was Land Under England, a science-fiction account of a totalitarian society ruled by telepathic mind control, cited by Karl Edward Wagner as one of the thirteen best science-fiction horror novels. His other novels include the time-travel novel Wind From the North and the future-war story Day of Wrath. He died in 1953. He was the husband of Mary Devenport O'Neill, poet and friend of W.B. Yeats, who consulted her when writing 'A Vision'. Devenport O'Neill was an important writer in her own right, whose work warrants further study."

Banjomike | 5166 comments I've added those two books to a new Joseph O'Neill (with 2 spaces ^^ to disambiguate)

I'll go through the books and sort them.

EDIT:
Looks OK now.
