But that is part of the title. Ex: Lovecraft Short Storieshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
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.

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.
