Various
(More than one. Several.)
These works contain various authors. Usually, this is because they are anthologies — primarily of short stories. Sometimes the authors are collected because of a similar trait or because they have written thematically similar stories.
Various is a book author.
You can view all authors, or you can search by language/region, genre, era/movement, editor/translator, or year of edition.
