1813^ⓘ Translated by <a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/se.cgi?arg=Sarah%20Elizabeth%20Utterson&type=Name&mode=exact">Sarah Elizabeth Utterson</a>, from the 1812 French-language translation by J. B. B. Eyries	English	The Death's Head [as by uncredited]

2018^ⓘ Unknown translation from the original German, perhaps new in 2018 "The <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> stories also collected here are translated directly from the German originals, and are the ones Mary mentions in the Introduction to her 1831 edition of <i>Frankenstein</i> [<a href="http:///www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?2475227">see at ISFDB</a>], where she talks about how her novel came to be written." --Fiona Sampson, "Foreword: Mary Shelley Horror Stories" (2018) Thus the four <i>Fantasmagoriana</i> texts in the 2018 anthology are not those discussed by Shelley and her friends in 1816; namely, Eyries's 1812 translations from German to French (<a href="http:///www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1895152">Fantasmagoriana</a>, 8 stories). Whether the 2018 texts are new translations from the German originals is an open question.	English	The Death's Head [as by Friedrich Laun]
