Bump again.Goodreads librarians: if you are unable to correct the issues with #3, #5, #8, and #10 due to the disastrous new policy surrounding Kindle and Audible editions, please let me know so that I can contact staff to inform them that they have to carry out Kindle/Audible edits and inform them of the errors that need to be fixed.
Thanks so much for your help. Only thing that still needs to be corrected is Mark Bramhall still needs the Narrator role on #4.

1. US Hardcover: The Devil All the Time (ISBN 9780385535045)
- “First Edition” should only be in the Editions field once.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the jacket:
From the acclaimed author of Knockemstiff (“A powerful, remarkable, exceptional book.” –Los Angeles Times): a dark and riveting vision of America that delivers literary excitement in the highest degree
Set in rural southern Ohio and West Virginia, The Devil All the Time follows a cast of compelling and bizarre characters from the end of World War II to the 1960s. There’s Willad Russell, tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific, who can’t save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from an agonizing death by cancer, no matter how much sacrificial blood he pours on his “prayer log.” There’s Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers who troll America’s highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate. There’s the spider-handling preacher, Roy, and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick, Theodore, running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin Eugene Russell, Willard and Charlotte’s orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right.
Donald Ray Pollock braids his plotlines into a taut narrative that will leave readers astonished and deeply moved. Marrying the twisted intensity of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers with the religious and gothic overtones of Flannery O’Connor at her most haunting, he proves himself a master storyteller in the grittiest and most uncompromising American grain.

Around them swirl a nefarious cast of characters—a demented team of serial killers, a spider-eating preacher, and a corrupt local sheriff—all braided into a riveting narrative of the grittiest American grain.
