Welcome!

Hello, AlHazred, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Ahasuerus 06:17, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

The Necronomicon

I have approved your changes to Price's The Necronomicon and have a couple of questions if you happen to be working off a physical copy of the book:

  • Could you please confirm that the title of Price's introduction is "The Figure in the Flying Carpet" and that it starts on page vii? (We support both roman and arabic numerals, by the way.)
  • Is "Demons of Cthulhu", which appears on page 62, credited to Robert Silverberg or to "Charles D. Hammer", his pseudonym?
  • Similarly, is "The Mantle of Graag" (p. 11) attributed to Frederik Pohl, Henry Dockweiller and Robert A. W. Lowndes or to "Paul Dennis Lavond", their collective pseudonym?
  • Are the page numbers listed by Locus for the currently unnumbered Lin Carter micro-stories correct?

Thanks! Ahasuerus 06:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

    • I do, in fact, own a physical copy of this book -- I started picking up the Call of Cthulhu Fiction line from Chaosium with #1 and have almost all of them. I am adding them to my Book Collector software, and plan to submit changes to ISFDB as time permits.
      • Price's introduction is, in fact, named "The Figure in the Flying Carpet." It is in the typical Price style of combination Introduction/Literary History/Homage. The headers of the pages it's on, however, do say "Introduction." Similarly, all of the stories are started with a short bibliographical intro.
      • "Demons of Cthulhu" is attributed to Silverberg. Price mentions the pseudonym in his intro.
      • "The Mantle of Graag" is attributed to Pohl, Dockweiller, and Lowndes. Price mentions the pseudonym in his intro.
      • The page numbers for the microstories appear to be correct.

Stories are listed as starting with the page containing Price's intro.
