1. Hardcover: Parallel Hells (ISBN 9781529371420)
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:
Some say that hell is other people and some say hell is loneliness. . .
In the thirteen darkly audacious stories of Parallel Hells we meet a golem, made of clay, learning that its powers far exceed its Creator's expectations; a ruined mansion that grants the secret wishes of a group of revellers; and a notorious murderer who discovers her Viking husband is not what he seems.
Asta is an ancient being who feasts on the shame of contemporary Londoners, who now, beyond anything, wishes only to fit in with a group of friends they will long outlive. An Oxford historian, in bitter competition with the rest of her faculty members, discovers an ancient tome whose sinister contents might solve her problems. Livia orchestrates a Satanic mass to distract herself from a recently remembered trauma and two lovers must resolve their differences in order to defy a lethal curse.
In this deliciously strange debut collection, Leon Craig draws on folklore and gothic horror in refreshingly inventive ways to explore queer identity, love, power and the complicated nature of being human.

2. Paperback: Parallel Hells (ISBN 9781529371444)
- The page count is incorrect. I’m holding a copy, and it should be 211.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:
Irresistibly strange and inventive, Parallel Hells is a collection of dark and delightful stories that blends folklore and gothic horror with a contemporary twist.
A golem discovers its powers far exceed its Creator’s expectations. An ancient creature, who feasts on the shame of modern-day Londoners, struggles to fit in with friends they will long outlive. And an Oxford historian discovers an antique tome that may help her overcome her academic rivals.
In this deliciously macabre debut collection, Leon Craig explores queer identity, power, love and the painful complexities of being human in startling new ways.

3. UK Kindle: Parallel Hells (ASIN B095RWGMLX)
- The publication date is listed as June 2023 because this is an ACE, and the date is meant to be when the cover changed. This date is incorrect; the paperback with the orange/pink/red/whatever color you wanna call it cover art was first published October 13, 2022; as such, that should be the publication date for this edition.
