Drace (dracenines) | 7559 comments A new novella called Crypt of the Moon Spider was recently announced from horror author Nathan Ballingrud, and there is cleanup that needs to be done on its various editions.


1. Paperback Edition: Crypt of the Moon Spider (ISBN 9781250291738)

- The parenthetical “(Lunar Gothic Trilogy)” shows up in the title on the Editions page and in the search dropdown. This needs to be removed.

- The ISBN-10 (1250291739) needs to be placed in the ASIN field to prevent the bot from auto-filling any Kindle ASINs into it.

- The description is missing formatting. It should be as follows:
Crypt of the Moon Spider is a dark and dreamy fantasy about greed, corruption, and selfhood. Together, they weave the stickiest of webs.

Years ago, in a cave beneath the dense forests and streams on the surface of the moon, a gargantuan spider once lived. Its silk granted its first worshippers immense faculties of power and awe.

It’s now 1923 and Veronica Brinkley is touching down on the moon for her intake at the Barrowfield Home for Treatment of the Melancholy. A renowned facility, Dr. Barrington Cull’s invasive and highly successful treatments have been lauded by many. And they’re so simple! All it takes is a little spider silk in the amygdala, maybe a strand or two in the prefrontal cortex, and perhaps an inch in the hippocampus for near evisceration of those troublesome thoughts and ideas.

But trouble lurks in many a mind at this facility and although the spider’s been dead for years, its denizens are not. Someone or something is up to no good, and Veronica just might be the cause.

2. Kindle Edition: Crypt of the Moon Spider (ASIN B0CH72FT5J)

- The parenthetical “(Lunar Gothic Trilogy)” shows up in the title on the Editions page and in the search dropdown. This needs to be removed.

- The description is missing formatting. It should be the same as the paperback edition.

- The cover art is missing. It can be found here: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9... Completed by Goodreads staff

===

3. All Editions:

- This is book one of a new trilogy, and a series page needs to be made. The series is called the Lunar Gothic Trilogy.

- The original publication date needs to be set to August 27, 2024.

There is also an ebook that needs to be added, but the ebook ISBNs are currently mistakenly assigned to the Kindle edition (thanks, Amazon bot). I’ve already reached out to Goodreads staff about removing the ISBNs and will add the information for the ebook edition once that’s done.
