This is a short story anthology with four editors. Most folks who put the editor in the author field use the first editor listed (Frank Chin), but this book shows up on the author page of the second editor listed (Jeffery Paul Chan). If you run a search for Aiiieeeee!, you will find a combined cluster with separate entries under the author names of all four editors! No matter which editor one puts in the author field, the book pops up under Chan's name.
