Eric (cwluc) | 57 comments Does anyone know why the books at listed out of order? From what I can Freaks & Other Family: Two Stories is listed as 2016 but it's showing as published first. Also, the untitled book doesn't have a date. Shouldn't it be first or last?

Renske | 12222 comments There are two publications dates. One for each edition and the original publication date for the whole work. The original date was empty for this book. Therefore this edition was at the end of the list.

I added the original date to the book, so it is in the right order now. You can find the original publication date at the bottom of the edit page.

As you have the book on your shelf, I have a question about the untitled edition. I noticed it was added long before the book 'Curses' that was published with the same publisher as listed on the untitled edition. Is there another book announced or is it a placeholder for 'Curses'?

Eric (cwluc) | 57 comments Thank you for sorting out the dates.

Please do not assume something on my shelf means knowledge of it. I would imagine since no one edited it since its creation it was a placeholder for any number of upcoming projects but it could probably be removed or edited to An Uncanny Romance, #2.
