Hi, I was hoping to check whether the following book would satisfy Option 2.

999: Twenty-nine Original Tales of Horror and Suspense edited by Al Sarrantonio

A. It has a main page genre of Fantasy>Supernatural.

B. However, it is an anthology of short stories from a number of different authors. The editor is Al Sarrantonio (both initials found in Douglas Adams), however, there are a number of authors who have written the stories so would ALL authors have to have initials found in Douglas Adams for the book to be eligible?

Thanks

Editor's initials do not work, according to the rules of the challenge. If one of the actual authors listed on the GR page meets the requirements, that will work.

Thanks sandy. Would only one author need to satisfy the requirement or would all authors need to satisfy the requirement?

"one of the authors listed on the GR page"

Fantastic. Thanks!

I was wondering if I could read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as one that would satisfy for both parts of the challenge? It's been on my list to read so why not now!?!
