Based on the Amazon listing, this anthology appears to be a mixed genre publication. As such, under ISFDB standards, only the stories which are speculative fiction are eligible for the database. Can you confirm that all of the contents you've given in the submission are spec-fic (horror, fantasy, science fiction, weird fiction, etc.) and not mystery and/or thrillers without a fantasy element? I will hold your submission until you've had a chance to respond. If you determine that some of the stories are not eligible for the database, I'll accept the submission, but you will have to remove those stories from the publication record, and then delete them for the database. Or you can cancel the submission, and make a new one which includes only the spec-fic contents. This would be my suggestion if you find that the majority are not eligible. I would save much time and effort in deleting the non-eligible titles. [[User:Mhhutchins|Mhhutchins]]|[[User talk:Mhhutchins|talk]] 03:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, DavidBusboom, 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:

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

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! Hauck 16:59, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Swords Against Cthulhu

Hello, I've approved your submission (note that it's no use to submit the same data three times). I've tweaked it a bit by adding to the sparse data from notably here : entered precise date (2015-06-21), pub format (tp), ISBN (9781326318048), cover (a bit too large). The result is here. You have now to enter the contents (via the "Edit this pub" link). Hauck 17:07, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Walk Hand In Hand Into Extinction

Based on the Amazon listing, this anthology appears to be a mixed genre publication. As such, under ISFDB standards, only the stories which are speculative fiction are eligible for the database. Can you confirm that all of the contents you've given in the submission are spec-fic (horror, fantasy, science fiction, weird fiction, etc.) and not mystery and/or thrillers without a fantasy element? I will hold your submission until you've had a chance to respond. If you determine that some of the stories are not eligible for the database, I'll accept the submission, but you will have to remove those stories from the publication record, and then delete them for the database. Or you can cancel the submission, and make a new one which includes only the spec-fic contents. This would be my suggestion if you find that the majority are not eligible.
