There are errors that need to be cleaned up on the anthology Inferno.

1. All Editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

- The original publication date is missing its month and day. It should be December 10, 2007.

2. Hardcover: Inferno: New Tales of Terror and the Supernatural (ISBN 9780765315588)

- Joyce Carol Oates is missing from the contributors list. She needs to be added with the Contributor role.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:

For Inferno, Ellen Datlow asked some of her favorite authors to write stories that, as she says in her introduction, “provide a frisson of shock or a moment of dread so powerful it might cause the reader outright physical discomfort; or a sensation of fear so palpable as to compel the reader to turn on bright lights and play music or seek the company of others to dispel the fear. . . .”

Twenty masterful authors, including Elizabeth Bear, Pat Cadigan, Paul Finch, Jeffrey Ford, Christopher Fowler, Stephen Gallagher, Glen Hirshberg, K. W. Jeter, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lucius Shepard, to name but a few, answered her call. These powerful, deeply affecting, sometimes disturbing tales confirm Datlow’s standing as a preeminent editor of modern horror.

DESCRIPTION:

As stated in her introduction to Inferno, Ellen Datlow asked her favorite authors for stories that would "provide the reader with a frisson of shock, or a moment of dread so powerful it might cause the reader outright physical discomfort; or a sensation of fear so palpable that the reader feels compelled to turn on the bright lights and play music or seek the company of others to dispel the fear." Mission accomplished.

Datlow has produced a collection filled with some of the most powerful voices in the field: Pat Cadigan, Terry Dowling, Jeffrey Ford, Christopher Fowler, Glen Hirshberg, K. W. Jeter, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lucius Shepard, to name a few. Each author approaches fear in a different way, but all of the stories' characters toil within their own hell.

An aptly titled anthology, Inferno will scare the pants off listeners and further secure Ellen Datlow's standing as a preeminent editor of modern horror.
