June 2007
I've added ISBNs for all the books. My sources were amazon.com, isfdb.org and my own collection. Please check my work.

For some of the older books, I could not get ISBNs for the first editions. In particular, the ISBNs for the three Riddle-Master books are for the Futura paperbacks, which were the original British editions.

Between Amazon and the ISFDB, I found 5 (five) omnibus editions of the Riddle-Master trilogy, all with different names. I've listed them all; we probably should delete some or most of them.

The Moon and the Face is a sequel to Moon-Flash; I've moved them to a new subsubsection called the "Kyreol duology". Solstice Wood is set against the same background as Winter Rose, but generations later; I left both under "Other works".

Since lots of the titles were redlinks for books which probably would fail Notability (books), I 'delinkified' all but the award-winners.

I wonder if we really need to list all those short stories. Maybe we should only list the ones including in "Year's Best" collections?

List
This article is primarily composed of a long list with many lists of books embedded into it. The article certainly needs more than this, and as Wikipedia discourages lists of this nature (see WP:LIST) this needs to be changed, at least so that the bibliography is not the major portion of the article. -- Shruti14 t c s 23:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You have a good point. I started adding more bio information, but I think we need a better source than the one I provided. Also, CWC suggested above that perhaps not all the short stories need to be mentioned... Forestgarden (talk) 22:19, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Anyone familiar with her books care to add them to this list?
Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy works (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain. At least some of McKillip's books would probably qualify. Anyone care to add them? Tamtrible (talk) 10:34, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Why does THE THROME OF THE ERRIL OF SHERRILL not have its own article?
Why does THE THROME OF THE ERRIL OF SHERRILL not have its own article? It is equally worthy as other books of hers. Someone who specializes in such will hopefully get onto it! 2604:2000:F64D:FC00:DB9:AE0:582B:C756 (talk) 04:36, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Done. See The Throme of the Erril of Sherill (there's only one R in the last word). BPK (talk) 17:07, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
