Who wrote "The Living Dead"?

[julieandrews]

According to Amazon's recommendations page, Stephen King is solely responsible for the The Living Dead anthology. They have apparently decided not to list the editor first when giving the credits, so when it comes to cropping it shorter for the recommendations, wish lists, and shopping carts, one author gets listed and not the editor. Incredibly frustrating, as I don't care two hoots about Stephen King, yet I am very interested in this zombie anthology.

I wrote Amazon an eloquent and annoyed Email. I encourage others to do the same.

But, hey, on the bright side, Eclipse Two, the infamous male-dominant anthology series and particularly male, male, male cover is now credited to Diana Wynne Jones. (Who isn't even on the cover.)

I just went and looked at the cover on Amazon and I can't say it was particularly male male male? It was by no means 50/50 but out of 6 authors listed on the cover, 2 were female. 33% is not the worst ratio I've ever seen. Beats the U.S. Senate hands down.

What boggles my mind is why DWJ was not listed on the cover... surely she has more name recognition than some of the ones who were chosen. Several of them I had never heard of at all.

The editor is John Joseph Adams (looking at own copy on shelf from WFC). What Amazon's doing is... weird.

Here's the Amazon byline for The Year's Best Fantasy 2008:

"by Kelly Link (Author), Gavin Grant (Author), Ellen Datlow (Editor)"

Add it to your cart and Kelly Link is responsible for the whole thing. And she's not even the one listed first on the cover!
