PREFERENCES FOR NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES TO PRIMARY VERIFIED RECORDS I will no longer be responding to messages posted on this talk page.

If you've come here to inform me that you wish to make a submission to add a COVER IMAGE or NOTES to any of my primary verified records, notification is not necessary. Just do it. If you've come here to inform me that you wish to either 1) add a publication series to a primary verified publication record, or 2) add the stated price for Canada or other countries to the publication record, notification is not necessary. Just do it.

Question about "The Mysterious Stranger"

In an anthology you verified, The Penguin Book of Vampire Stories, there's a story called "The Mysterious Stranger" which has the date in the database of 1823. Now, the editor of Dracula's Precursors says that this story was "originally published in German in 1823 and translated into English soon after" and Michael Sims, editor of Dracula's Guest, says it was first published in English in 1860. If this is true, then the story should have the date of 1860 in the database (and should be merged with this record). By the way, according to Douglas A. Anderson, this story is a translation of Karl von Wachsmann's "Der Fremde", whose earliest known publication date is 1844, but that doesn't affect the question of its earliest publication in English.

Anyhow, my point is, could you take a look at Vampire Stories and see if it gives any reason to think this story was published in English earlier than 1860? After I collect replies from other verifiers, I'll either merge these records or not. Thanks! --Vasha 18:54, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
