- 7 stories reprinted from five magazines or newspapers that Nesbit acknowledges by name (see Gutenberg)
- This is the first of four collections in which most of Nesbit's supernatural fiction is assembled [JC] and the second of three that contain most of her horror fiction [LT]. --SFE3, biographical entry by John Clute --SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy, entry by Lisa Tuttle (Innes published Grim Tales three or four months before Something Wrong, newspaper and magazine coverage shows.)
- 1st ed., 1st printing
- This is evidently (1st printing apparently) the source for Gutenberg Ebook #40321, whose HTML format includes an image of the original title page, and no other images. Its list of Contents shows the pages numbers below, and may be the source.
- Two genuine hits only, found 2018-02-24 in automated search of 1893 newspapers (no price stated): -- listing, The Observer 1893-04-02 p7 "Books Received" -- brief review, Manchester Guardian 1893-04-11 p10 (negative) From that review, the seven stories are reprinted from magazines. "Harmless and not really shocking ... The other tales [except Man-Size] are very thin."
- Gutenberg Ebook #40321 shows following the text "THE END" and under a horizontal line (all caps, quote): London: Printed by William Clowes and Sons, Limited, Stamford Street and Charing Cross. (Publisher advertisements, evidently one page, then conclude the ebook.)
