I will take the time here to express my appreciation to those that do my quizzes. I enjoy churning them out. I am stunned that anyone bothers with them. If I had the means and know-how to create pretty, graphic images I would knock your socks off. I have found out something with my quiz-making. If you create a quiz that requires a person to know the answer, people usually avoid them. Easy to create. Multiple choice is a nightmare, wrapped up in a horror story, sizzling in a cauldron with banshee and siren accompaniment. God bless you all. G'day, plattsie! G'day, JWatson24! G'day, XYU!
The answers are pretty much actual publications. The ones I made up are as glaringly obvious as the sun in the Tanami Desert. I utilise them to red herring the trail to the answer... and by doing so... make the answer as glaringly obvious as the Quizmaster's self-love.

I love Edgar Allan Poe. One of many of my favourite people that prove that genius is not bestowed upon one like a Time magazine 'Person of the Year'. Oh, no. It takes forty days and forty nights of baying at the moon... and at least sixth months incarceration in a room with soft walls... to achieve 'genius' status.

Mary Shelley will forever have the cloud of Percy and Byron and Byron's doctor boyfriend darkening discussions on the authorship of 'Frankenstein.' Jane Austen is JANE AUSTEN! If she had Taylor Swift's money... she would still be JANE AUSTEN! If I was as rich as Miss Swift I would get a pack of wolfhounds and drink a bottle of wine a day.
