Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments There are issues that need to be cleaned up with the book Horror in Architecture by Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker-Shing.

1. First Edition: Horror in Architecture (ISBN 9781935935902)

- Joshua Comaroff’s name is misspelled. The book is attributed to “Josuha Comaroff.” This incorrect author needs to be removed from the book and replaced with the correct one: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

- The publication date is incorrect. According to the publisher website, the first edition was published February 2013.

- The page count is incorrect. It should be 225.

===

2. New Kindle Edition: Horror in Architecture: The Reanimated Edition (ASIN B0C2GLQNBZ)

- The book is listed as a separate edition from the original edition. It needs to be combined. (The ebook edition is also attached to the Kindle edition, so it needs to be combined as well.)

- The publisher is incorrect. It should be University of Minnesota Press.

===

3. New Paperback Edition: Horror in Architecture: The Reanimated Edition (ISBN 9781517914844)

- The book is listed as a separate edition from the original edition. It needs to be combined.

- The publisher is incorrect. It should be University of Minnesota Press.

- The description is missing paragraph breaks and formatting. It should read as follows:

Horror in Architecture presents an unflinching look at how horror genre tropes manifest in the built environment. Spanning the realms of art, design, literature, and film, this newly revised and expanded edition compiles examples from all areas of popular culture to form a visual anthology of the architectural uncanny.

Rooted in the Romantic and Gothic treatment of horror as a serious aesthetic category, Horror in Architecture establishes incisive links between contemporary horror media and its parallel traits found in various architectural designs. Through chapters dedicated to distorted and monstrous buildings, abandoned spaces, extremes of scale, and other structural peculiarities, and featuring new essays on insurgent natures, blobs, and architectural puppets, this volume brings together diverse architectural anomalies and shows how their unsettling effects deepen our fascination with the unreal.

Intended for both horror fans and students of visual culture, Horror in Architecture turns a unique lens on the relationship between the human body and the artificial landscapes it inhabits. Extensively illustrated with photographs, film stills, and diagrams, this book retrieves horror from the cultural fringes and demonstrates how its attributes permeate the modern condition and the material world.

===

4. All Editions (after new editions are combined)

- The original publication date is incorrect. It should be February 2013.

Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments The new editions still need to be combined with the old one so that they're all on the same editions page, and the original publication date still needs to be changed.
