1. US Paperback Edition: X (ISBN 9781646220939)

2. CD Audio Edition: X: A Novel (ISBN 9798212393935)
- “A Novel” needs to be removed from the title.
- The page count is currently listed at 8 pages, because the CD audiobook has 8 discs. However, I was under the impression that on audiobooks, librarians set the page count to the number of hours that the audiobook runs for. If I’m correct about the hours being the page count for audiobooks, it should be set to 7 pages (the audiobook is 7 hours and 25 minutes, so rounded down).

- The page count is missing. It should be 230 pages.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:
An electrifying novel about the creeping reality of political terror, and the violent pleasures found in Brooklyn's queer heartlands. Part noir, part erotic thriller, X is a vivid, moody and darkly funny portrait of those living on the margins of an increasingly hostile society.
Broke and discontented, amateur sadist Lee spends their days working for a big corporation and their nights searching the warehouses and dungeons of Brooklyn looking for the mysterious, seductive, and bloodthirsty X. In a sly purging of migrants, refugees, sex workers and queers - any citizens they claim to be undesirable - the US government has started exporting people, and Lee has heard X might be among those about to disappear.
As their obsession with X grows, Lee becomes further enmeshed in the crimes and dramas of the city's queer community, following ex-lovers, playmates, clients, best friends, and accidental accomplices through damp and shining bars and parties looking for any lead that might bring them closer to X, before she vanishes for good.
