Drace (dracenines) | 7556 comments There are a few errors to clean up on the ebook edition of The Twilight Pariah by Jeffrey Ford.

- The ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 are both missing. ISBN-10 should be 0765397331, ISBN-13 should be 9780765397331.

- The format is incorrect. It should be ebook.

- The cover art is missing. Available here: https://mpd-biblio-covers.imgix.net/9...

- The description is missing formatting. It should read as follows:
Three friends go looking for treasure and find horror in Jeffrey Ford's The Twilight Pariah.

All Maggie, Russell, and Henry wanted out of their last college vacation was to get drunk and play archaeologist in an old house in the woods outside of town. When they excavate the mansion's outhouse they find way more than they bargained for: a sealed bottle filled with a red liquid, along with the bizarre skeleton of a horned child.

Disturbing the skeleton throws each of their lives into a living hell. They feel followed wherever they go, their homes are ransacked by unknown intruders, and people they care about are brutally, horribly dismembered. The three friends awakened something, a creature that will stop at nothing to retrieve its child.

Stefano | 1077 comments It was a duplicated edition of this https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio.... Now it's deleted.

It was not a duplicate, it was an incomplete page for the ebook edition of the book. For some reason the publisher website's page for the ebook was removed, but the copyright page of the physical edition confirms the e-book's existence: https://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Paria...

WorldCat also confirms its existence: https://search.worldcat.org/title/100...

Because you just deleted a perfectly legitimate edition that was just missing correct metadata, could you please undo your deletion of it and then correct the issues listed in the OP of this thread?

Drace (dracenines) | 7556 comments Alternatively, if you're unable to reverse your deleting the book, here is the information to recreate the edition:

TITLE: The Twilight Pariah
AUTHOR: Jeffrey Ford
ISBN-10: 0765397331
ISBN-13: 9780765397331
ASIN: 0765397331 [The ASIN field must be given the ISBN-10 number as well. It is Goodreads policy that books with ISBN-10s have them put in both ISBN-10 and ASIN fields, and if it is not done, it is extremely likely that the Goodreads bot will do something to screw up this edition of the book.]
PUBLISHER: Tordotcom
DATE PUBLISHED: September 12, 2017
NUMBER OF PAGES: [not available]

Drace (dracenines) | 7556 comments No, that is the Kindle edition. The ebook edition has its own ISBN number and is a separate edition from the Kindle edition.

Stefano | 1077 comments Restored

Could you please add the ISBN-10 0765397331 and the ISBN-13 9780765397331 to the ebook edition?

Stefano | 1077 comments I can't, the field is uneditable.

You will need to contact Support to get that done. :)

Emily | 17621 comments At some point the ISBNs were removed by the generic Goodreads staff account.

Just sent a message in to staff. The ebook was removed from the publisher site for some reason, but you can still access its cover art via ISBN and the ebook is still available on digital platforms. No clue why the publisher or Goodreads staff would have removed it from their respective sites. Hopefully this can get corrected soon.
