[COMPLETE] Tor Nightfire Cleanup: Hex

[Drace]

This thread is part of a series of project threads dedicated to cleaning up errors and issues with books from the horror literature imprint Tor Nightfire.

There are numerous issues that need to be cleaned up with the novel Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt.

It should be noted that while this book has been published previously outside of the Tor Nightfire imprint, I am only focusing on the editions of Hex that Nightfire published. Some Alternate Cover Edition creation will be involved in this thread.

1. Paperback Edition: Hex (ISBN 9781250780935)

- Nancy Forest-Flier needs to be added with the Translator role.

- The publisher is incorrect. It should be Tor Nightfire.

DESCRIPTION:
The English language debut of the bestselling Dutch novel, Hex, from Thomas Olde Heuvelt--a Hugo and World Fantasy award nominated talent to watch

Whoever is born here, is doomed to stay 'til death. Whoever settles, never leaves.

Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a seventeenth century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. She stands next to children's beds for nights on end. Everybody knows that her eyes may never be opened or the consequences will be too terrible to bear.

The elders of Black Spring have virtually quarantined the town by using high-tech surveillance to prevent their curse from spreading. Frustrated with being kept in lockdown, the town's teenagers decide to break their strict regulations and go viral with the haunting. But, in so doing, they send the town spiraling into dark, medieval practices of the distant past.

This chilling novel heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice in mainstream horror and dark fantasy.

Is it the #4 & 5 the covers are only half?

Belated response because I've been busy with coursework, but thank you very much for your help.

Yes, the cover art for the audio editions is accurate. Audiobook art tends to be a square, cropped version since physical CD audiobooks are stored in square boxes/cases and square art looks better in a digital app. I guess they just did a quick and easy crop job for this one.

#5 done. I set the format into Audible Audio than Audiobook because it has an Asin.

Thanks for your help with #4.

#5 isn't an Audible edition, it's a digital audiobook. Audible and Kindle books don't have ISBNs; the reason the ISBN-10 is also put in the ASIN field if a book has an ISBN-10 is to keep the Goodreads bot from screwing things up and assigning it to another edition or creating a brand new edition. It still needs to have its format set as Audiobook.
