Drace (dracenines) | 7569 comments There are errors that need to be corrected on the book The Horror of Police by Travis Linnemann.

1. Paperback Edition: The Horror of Police (ISBN 9781517905927)

- The publisher is incorrect. According to the copyright page and title page, it should be University of Minnesota Press.

- The page count is incorrect. I’m holding a copy right now, and it should be 279.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed directly from the back of the book:

Drawing on the language and texts of horror fiction, Linnemann recasts the police not only as self-proclaimed “monster fighters” but as monsters themselves, a terrifying force set loose in the world. The Horror of Police shows that police violence is not a deviation but rather a deliberate and permanent fixture of U.S. “law and order.” Only when viewed through the refracted motif of horror stories, Linnemann argues, can we begin to reckon the limits of police and imagine a world without them.

2. Kindle Edition: The Horror of Police (ASIN B0B7W5X29W)

- The publisher is incorrect. According to the copyright page and title page, it should be University of Minnesota Press.

3. Hardcover Edition: The Horror of Police (ISBN 9781517905910)

- The publisher is incorrect. According to WorldCat, it should be University of Minnesota Press. Link: https://search.worldcat.org/title/128...

- The page count is incorrect. According to WorldCat, it should be 279.

===

4. Ebook Edition: The Horror of Police (ISBN 9781452967639)

- The ISBN-10 1452967636 also needs to be the ASIN in order to prevent the bot from incorrectly merging it with the Kindle edition.

- The publisher is incorrect. According to WorldCat, it should be University of Minnesota Press. Link: https://search.worldcat.org/title/133...
