Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Horror director Jordan Peele edited an upcoming horror anthology called Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror, and the editions that are on Goodreads need some cleanup done.

All Editions:

- The original publication date is missing. It should be October 3, 2023.


Hardcover Edition: Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror(ISBN 9780593243794)

- Jordan Peele has been given the Introduction role. While he did write the introduction, I feel like he should have the Editor role since editing the anthology is a bigger job than just writing the introduction. Completed (Peele has been given a role that says Editor/Introduction - this seems like a good way to split the difference.)

- The author list is missing. Aside from Jordan Peele, these are the contributors to the anthology:
Erin E. Adams
Violet Allen
Lesley Nneka Arimah
Maurice Broaddus
Chesya Burke
P. Djèlí Clark
Ezra Claytan Daniels
Tananarive Due
Nalo Hopkinson
N.K. Jemisin
Justin C. Key
L.D. Lewis
Nnedi Okorafor
Tochi Onyebuchi
Rebecca Roanhorse
Nicole D. Sconiers
Rion Amilcar Scott
Terence Taylor
Cadwell Turnbull

- The description had its formatting removed and some grammatical errors put in place when the bot auto-imported it. It should read as follows:

The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation.

A cop begins seeing huge, blinking eyes where the headlights of cars should be that tell him who to pull over. Two freedom riders take a bus ride that leaves them stranded on a lonely road in Alabama where several unsettling somethings await them. A young girl dives into the depths of the Earth in search of the demon that killed her parents. These are just a few of the worlds of Out There Screaming, Jordan Peele’s anthology of all-new horror stories by Black writers. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.

Featuring stories by: Erin E. Adams, Violet Allen, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Maurice Broaddus, Chesya Burke, P. Djèlí Clark, Ezra Claytan Daniels, Tananarive Due, Nalo Hopkinson, N. K. Jemisin, Justin C. Key, L. D. Lewis, Nnedi Okorafor, Tochi Onyebuchi, Rebecca Roanhorse, Nicole D. Sconiers, Rion Amilcar Scott, Terence Taylor, and Cadwell Turnbull.

Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

It's been a little over a week, so I'm bumping the thread to keep it visible.

Another one-week bump.

Take a look at these, Drace; they should be all wrapped up.

Everything seems to be in order. Thank you so, so much!
