Scott | 8725 comments I would take out the "gothic fantasy" and like descriptives.


message 2: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8725 comments Yes, it appears to be part of the title.


Elizabeth (Alaska) No, "short stories", "poems", "a novel", are not part of titles on Goodreads.


message 4: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8725 comments But that is part of the title. Ex: Lovecraft Short Stories

It's not just Lovecraft.

Yes, that would apply. I was looking a the question in general, rather specific.

But those words don't go in the edition field. They should be in the description in any case.

This edition, for example, needs to have everything after the title moved to the edition field. Gothic fantasy isn't part of the edition information. And Flame Tree Publishing is the publisher, not the editor or any other author identity.

These are not considered a subtitle, which is not the same as "not part of titles".

If we follow that rule we will have books that only say
Asian Ghost
Lovecraft
Crime & Mystery
Edgar Allan Poe
Heroic Fantasy
Time Travel
Urban Crim..."

I'm sorry, I answered too quickly and without really looking.

Love and Other Crimes: A Short Story Collection

where even though it says "A Short Story Collection" on the cover, it isn't a part of a Goodreads title. I thought that was the question here. And it isn't. (Now I'll go do something constructive, instead.)

Yes, Lovecraft Short Stories is the title and that belongs.
