Drace (dracenines) | 10115 comments There are some errors that need to be cleaned up on editions of Kissing Carrion by Gemma Files.

- Kissing Carrion: Stories (ISBN 9798897320479) – The word “Stories” needs to be removed from the title. Additionally, the description is incorrect and should read as follows:

Finally back in print! The first horror story collection from Gemma Files, the multi-time Bram Stoker Award and Shirley Jackson Award winning author of Experimental Film, and "one of the most powerful and unique voices in weird fiction today" (Paul Tremblay, award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World).

This collection of seventeen short stories takes readers into the uniquely twisted mind of "one of Canada's most promising new horror writers" (Publishers Weekly). From a live necrophilia show starring reanimated corpses to a confrontation between a security guard and inhuman squatters, from who can be found at an all-night laundromat to what lies in wait at the bottom of the sea, from undead addictions to all-consuming obsessions, Kissing Carrion is "a journey through some of the most beautifully rendered visions of darkness and death to be published this past year... Fans of Poppy Z. Brite, Charlee Jacob, and Clive Barker should enjoy this collection immensely" (SF Reader).

Featuring new illustrations by the author, this collection includes:

• "Kissing Carrion"
• "Keepsake"
• "Rose-Sick"
• "Blood Makes Noise"
• "Skeleton Bitch"
• "Folly"
• "Mouthful of Pins"
• "Pretend That We’re Dead"
• "No Darkness But Ours"
• "Job 37"
• "Bear-Shirt"
• "Hidebound"
• "Skin City"
• "Seen"
• "Torch Song"
• "The Diarist"
• "Dead Bodies Possessed By Furious Motion"

- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... – This edition has a junk ASIN that was added by the Goodreads bot. It does not actually exist on Amazon and should be merged with the current existing Kindle edition, ASIN B08F9WT337

- On all of the following editions, the wrong Michael Rowe is linked to the book with the Afterword role. It needs to be the following linked Michael Rowe, author of October: A Novel: Michael Rowe
