Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments There are issues that need to be cleaned up with the book Occultation by Laird Barron.

1. Hardcover Edition: Occultation and Other Stories (ISBN 9781597801928)

- There’s a table of contents included in the description that shouldn’t be there. The description should read as follows:

Laird Barron has emerged as one of the strongest voices in modern horror and dark fantasy fiction, building on the eldritch tradition pioneered by writers such as H. P. Lovecraft, Peter Straub, and Thomas Ligotti. His stories have garnered critical acclaim and have been reprinted in numerous year’s best anthologies and nominated for multiple awards, including the Crawford, International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy awards. His debut collection, The Imago Sequence and Other Stories, was the inaugural winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.

He returns with his second collection, Occultation. Pitting ordinary men and women against a carnivorous, chaotic cosmos, Occultation’s nine tales of terror (two published here for the first time) were nominated for just as many Shirley Jackson awards, winning for the novella “Mysterium Tremendum” and the collection as a whole. Occultation brings more of the spine-chillingly sublime cosmic horror Laird Barron’s fans have come to expect.

2. Kindle Edition: Occultation and Other Stories (ASIN B07H46XWJZ)

- The description needs to be the same as in Entry 1.

3. Paperback Edition: Occultation and Other Stories (ISBN 9781597805148)

- The description is incorrect. It needs to be the same as in Entry 1.

- The full publication date is missing. It should be July 29, 2014.

===

4. Ebook Edition: Occultation and Other Stories (ISBN 9781597802482)

- This edition is mistakenly labeled as a Kindle edition. The format needs to be changed to ebook.

- Michael Shea needs to be added with the Introduction role.

- The description is missing paragraph breaks and formatting. It needs to be the same as in Entry 1.

Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments Thank you for your help. Do I need to take the duplicate editions to superlibrarians to fix?

Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments Thanks for all of your help. If you don't mind marking a few more editions as invalid, there are a couple more that slipped through the cracks:
