[COMPLETE] Errors: Killer on the Road / The Babysitter Lives

A few days have passed so I'm bumping the thread.
I tried to change everything you mentionned.
Thank you for your help, but all of the descriptions still have errors. The title of one of the novellas is Killer on the Road, but all of the descriptions call it The Killer on the Road. The first "The" needs to be removed from every part where the title pops up in the descriptions; see the description in the OP for reference.
I tried again, I hope I passed this time ;)

It might be best to just copy/paste the description from the first post in the thread.

It mig..."
It does not work to do so because the website considers that there are links in the description (probably because of comas and other ponctuation). This is why I had to tweak it instead of just copying/pasting (which would have been way easier). I'll let another librarian finish the job, hoping they'll be better at it.
Bumping to try to get the description fixed.
corrected "babysitters" for the two editions with the typo.

As a note, this is a two-in-one book containing two novellas. The Babysitter Lives was previously published as an audiobook exclusive standalone and will be getting a text standalone edition later this year. Killer on the Road will also be getting standalone editions in both audio and text. This thread is just to focus on the two-in-one edition. The standalones will get each their own thread in the future.
1. Paperback: Killer on the Road / The Babysitter Lives (ISBN 9781982167677)
- The description is incorrect and includes typos. It should read as follows:
A must-have collector’s item for horror fans, comprised of two novels, The Babysitter Lives and Killer on the Road, from the new master of horror, Stephen Graham Jones.
The Babysitter Lives
When high school senior Charlotte agrees to babysit the Wilbanks twins, she plans to put the six-year-olds to bed early and spend a quiet night studying: the SATs are tomorrow, and checking the Native American/Alaskan Native box on all the forms won’t help if she chokes on test day. But tomorrow is also Halloween, and the twins are eager to show off their costumes.
Charlotte’s last babysitting gig almost ended in tragedy when her young charge sleepwalked unnoticed into the middle of the street, only to be found unharmed by Charlotte’s mother. Charlotte vows to be extra careful this time. But the house is filled with mysterious noises and secrets that only the twins understand, echoes of horrors that Charlotte gradually realizes took place in the house eleven years ago. Soon Charlotte has to admit that every babysitter’s worst nightmare has come true: they’re not alone in the house.
Killer on the Road
Sixteen-year-old Harper has decided to run away from home after she has another blow-out argument with her mother. However, her two best friends, little sister, and ex-boyfriend all stop her from hitchhiking her way up Route 80 in Wyoming by joining her on an intervention disguised as a road trip. What they don’t realize is that Harper has been marked by a very unique serial killer who’s been trolling the highway for the past three years, and now the killer is after all of them in this fast-paced and deadly chase novel that will have your heart racing well above the speed limit as the interstate becomes a graveyard.
