Hey Clare, just a friendly request as the person who created this thread: next time you're going to add a bunch of books to it, please consolidate them all to one post instead of rapid-fire posting them each separately one after the other. I woke up to 14 separate notification emails from this thread this morning, and keeping your posts to a minimum definitely makes life easier for the librarians who help with this thread.
Clare wrote: "I'm sorry. Would you prefer I delete them and post elsewhere?"No need to delete them since they're already here. Just please make one post instead of a bunch of different ones next time you've got a long list of books that need their dates corrected (see some of my earliest posts in this thread as an example). Thanks so much!

Many Librarians actually prefer single posts for each book/request.
Another one that had its OPD deleted:Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith - July 15, 2003.
UPDATE: It looks like this one has been taken care of.
Another one for today:Cruel Angels Past Sundown - July 25, 2023. [EDIT: Taken care of in another thread.]
Adding a new one:No One Dies From Love: Dark Tales of Loss and Longing - May 30, 2023. [EDIT: Taken care of in another thread.]
Found another one:Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders - September 20, 2016
Update: This one has been corrected, but Cruel Angels Past Sundown and No One Dies from Love still need their dates.
Took care of Cruel Angels and No One Dies from Love in another thread. Here's a new book that needs its date added:Veniss Underground - According to Wikipedia, the original publication date was April 2003. I can't get more specific than that unfortunately, but if needed I could try asking the author on Twitter.
Veniss Underground was taken care of in another thread. I have several more now:Red Summer: The Summer of 1919 and the Awakening of Black America - July 19, 2011
The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings - The earliest edition of the book listed on this page is dated 1967, and the copyright page in this edition states the same. Can't provide a more specific date than just 1967.
No Guilt of Bloodshed - August 22, 2023
The Best Horror of the Year, Volume Fifteen - October 31, 2023
This one isn't missing entirely, but it has the year and month but not the date.Duma Key - January 22, 2008
