Drace (dracenines) | 7415 comments There's a whole bunch of books on my shelves that don't have dates that show up. From what I understand, this is because the Original Publication Date is missing. I've got the list of them right here, so if anyone has the chance, could you please get them added? Here they are, in the random order that my Goodreads shelf seems to have arbitrarily assigned:


We Are Here to Hurt Each Other - Feb. 21, 2022 (also, the paperback edition is missing the publisher - it's Nictitating Books, if anyone wants to add it)

The Ghost that Ate Us - July 12, 2022

The Best Horror of the Year, Volume Fourteen - Oct. 4, 2022

Convulsive - Apr. 19, 2022

Cinema Viscera: An Anthology of Movie Theater Horror - Oct. 31, 2021

Beneath the Salton Sea - Nov. 16, 2021

How to Get to Apocalypse and Other Disasters - Nov. 9, 2021

To Offer Her Pleasure - Aug. 31, 2021

Where All is Night, and Starless - Jul. 9, 2021

The Secret Goatman Spookshow and Other Psychological Warfare Operations - For some reason, Amazon says that the book released March 18, 2021, but the July 2021 date listed on the paperback edition is the accurate original release date.

Isolation is Safety - Same situation as previous. Amazon is incorrect, original release date is July 2021, not August 2021.

After The Revolution - Apr. 5, 2022

Rumbullion - Nov. 15, 2016

Illuminations: Stories - Oct. 11, 2022

The Hard Sell: Crime and Punishment at an Opioid Startup - Jan. 18, 2022

Teenage Grave - Amazon is wrong again, it's Feb. 2021

The Sculptor - Mar. 1, 2022

The Transgressionists and Other Disquieting Works: Five Tales of Weird Fiction - July 12, 2022

The Wingspan of Severed Hands - Dec. 15, 2020

Seventeen Names for Skin - Aug. 31, 2020

Bleak Friday - May 1, 2020

Sabbath of the Fox-Devils - May 15, 2020

The Mud Ballad - Apr. 30, 2020

The Best Horror of the Year Volume Twelve - Sept. 1, 2020

The Couvade - Oct. 31, 2019

As Summer's Mask Slips and Other Disruptions - Jan. 31, 2020

Thanks for any and all help with this. I know it's a pretty formidable list of books, but it's a big help and it's improving the Goodreads catalog.

Drace (dracenines) | 7415 comments I'm bumping this thread since I have found several more books on my shelves that are missing Original Publication Dates. If the librarians would rather me make a separate thread, I'll do so.

The Nothing That Is - Apr. 19, 2021

Aannex - July 19, 2022

We Won't Be Here Tomorrow: And Other Stories - Sept. 20, 2022

Drace (dracenines) | 7415 comments This one is an incorrect publication date rather than a missing one.

(EDIT: Started a thread to correct this one elsewhere. It's been fixed.)
