Bumping again.This thread is officially more than 6 months old.
Hi Drace, here are some updates on your request:For #s 1, 2, 7, 9. Seems like page counts, titles, publication details, and descriptions have already been previously corrected by librarians.
3 and 4: Done
5: New entry/edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
6: Someone already made an entry for this, just corrected a few details: https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/2...
8: Someone already combined it to the other editions, description has been updated. I only updated publisher name.
Thank you for your help. Some issues left to take care of:#2: The description includes a ton of praise quotes that need to be removed. It should be the same as Entry #1.
#7-#8: The descriptions are incorrect. They should both have the description listed in Entry #8.

As a note, "Gasglow" is not a typo. The setting of the book is a fantasy version of Glasgow, Scotland with a slightly different name.
1. US Hardcover: Luda (ISBN 9780593355305)
- The page count is incorrect. I am holding a copy, and the page numbering stops at 427.
- The description is incomplete. It should read as follows:
A drag queen initiates her protégée into the magical arts in this phantasmagoric epic, the first novel from the legendary comics writer and New York Times bestselling author.
Luci LaBang is a star: For decades this flamboyant drag artist has cast a spell over screen and stage. Now she’s the leading lady in a smash hit musical. But as time takes its toll, Luci fears her star is beginning to dim.
When Luci’s co-star meets with a mysterious accident, a new ingenue shimmers onto the scene: Luda, whose fantastical beauty and sinister charm infatuate Luci immediately . . . and who bears a striking resemblance to Luci herself at a much younger age.
Luda begs Luci to share the secrets of her stardom and to reveal the hidden tricks of her trade. For Luci LaBang is a mistress of the Glamour, a mysterious discipline that draws on sex, drugs, and the occult for its trancelike, transformative effects.
But as Luci tutors her young protégée, their fellow actors and crew members begin meeting with untimely ends. Now Luci wonders if Luda has mastered the Glamour all too well . . . and exploited it to achieve her dark ambitions.
What follows is an intoxicating descent into the demimonde of Gasglow, a fantastical city of dreams, and into the nightmarish heart of Luda herself: a femme fatale, a phenomenon, a monster, and, perhaps, the brightest star of them all.

A drag queen becomes obsessed with her mysterious young rival who might be an occultist, or a murderer… or the greatest star of all.
Luci LaBang is a star: for decades this flamboyant drag artist has cast a spell over screen and stage. Now she’s the leading lady in a smash hit pantomime.
When Luci’s co-star meets with a mysterious accident, a new ingenue shimmers onto the scene, and Luci is immediately smitten with the fantastically beautiful Luda and her sinister charm.
