• A typo in Tuck has the Cross story as Happy Birthday, Dear Alex. Update on 03/09/2022 (by Username): that is the original title; for some reason it was changed to Alexa in a 1981 anthology edited by Helen Hoke, Mysterious, Menacing & Macabre, although the title is still Alex on the copyright page.
