Consider the following statements about authorship of modern horror novels: A. The author of the novel "Bird Box" is Victor LaValle. B. The author of the novel "The Devil in Silver" is Josh Malerman. C. The author of the novel "Fellside" is Victor LaValle. Which of the statements given above are NOT correct?

Introduction / Context:
This question again tests careful knowledge of modern horror and dark fantasy novels, but this time it asks which statements are NOT correct. The statements mention three books and link them with particular authors. You must identify all statements that incorrectly attribute authorship, so close attention to each detail is essential.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Statement A claims "Bird Box" was written by Victor LaValle.
• Statement B claims "The Devil in Silver" was written by Josh Malerman.
• Statement C claims "Fellside" was written by Victor LaValle.
• You are asked to choose the set of statements that are not correct.

Concept / Approach:
First, you should recall the correct authors:

• "Bird Box" is written by Josh Malerman.
• "The Devil in Silver" is written by Victor LaValle.
• "Fellside" is written by M. R. Carey.

Having this reference, you can quickly evaluate whether each statement A, B and C matches or contradicts the true authorship information.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Assess statement A. It attributes "Bird Box" to Victor LaValle. However, "Bird Box" is actually written by Josh Malerman, so statement A is incorrect. Step 2: Assess statement B. It attributes "The Devil in Silver" to Josh Malerman. The correct author is Victor LaValle, so statement B is also incorrect. Step 3: Assess statement C. It attributes "Fellside" to Victor LaValle. In reality, "Fellside" is by M. R. Carey, so statement C is incorrect as well. Step 4: Conclude that statements A, B and C are all not correct. Step 5: Look at the answer choices and select the one that lists A, B and C together. Step 6: Option d, "A, B and C", matches this conclusion, so it is the correct answer.

Verification / Alternative check:
You can verify by checking each book separately in any reliable catalogue. "Bird Box" will be listed under Josh Malerman, "The Devil in Silver" under Victor LaValle, and "Fellside" under M. R. Carey. Because none of the statements A, B or C match this reality, they are all incorrect. Verifying each title independently is a robust method for such multi statement questions.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Options a, b and c each list only two statements as incorrect, leaving one statement implied as correct, which contradicts your analysis. Option e lists only statement A as incorrect, ignoring the errors in B and C. Since all three statements are wrong, no option that leaves out any statement can be correct.

Common Pitfalls:
Many learners remember that Josh Malerman and Victor LaValle are both modern horror authors but mix up which title belongs to whom. This can lead to incorrectly accepting one of the statements as true. Another pitfall is misreading the question and not noticing that it asks for statements that are "NOT correct". Always pay close attention to such wording, because selecting correct statements instead of incorrect ones completely reverses the intended answer.

Final Answer:
All three statements A, B and C are not correct.
