    Unknown translation from the original German, perhaps new in 2018
  • "The Fantasmagoriana 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 Frankenstein [see at ISFDB], where she talks about how her novel came to be written." --Fiona Sampson, "Foreword: Mary Shelley Horror Stories" (2018)
  • Thus the four Fantasmagoriana 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 (Fantasmagoriana, 8 stories). Whether the 2018 texts are new translations from the German originals is an open question.
  • In the 2018 anthology, this one of four Fantasmagoriana immediately follows "Prefaces to Tales of the Dead", by Utterson, which partly concerns her five 1813 translations.
