Request to add a new Serbian book

[Martin]

Hello,

I would like to request the addition of my first book (a collection of 19 short stories) to the Goodreads database. The book is in Serbian, and here are the details:

Title: REKLAMA i druge priče

Author: Marković Martin

Publisher: Nova POETIKA
Official book page: https://novapoetika.rs/prodavnica/rek...

Publication date: 2025.

Format: Paperback

Pages: 88

Language: Serbian

ISBN: 978-86-82038-76-4

Link to cover image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pov_...

Description: Stories written for the ZLATNI HRAST 2025 competition (organized by Nova POETIKA).

This short story collection combines horror and dark humor, offering a unique glimpse into a dystopian world dominated by the mysterious company AlterEvo. While most of the stories explore eerie and unsettling events, three stand out as satirical advertisements for the company’s products. Although AlterEvo is not directly present in the majority of the stories, its sinister influence gradually becomes apparent, linking them all into a shared universe.

The ads are written in a comedic tone, highlighting the absurdity of modern marketing, which can present even the most disturbing products as trendy and “cool.” Each story can be read independently, but attentive readers will notice the threads connecting them through the impact of AlterEvo on the characters’ fates.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,
Marković Martin

The linked publisher's webpage does not show the ISBN, which we need to check/verify.

I am sorry. Here is a public link for cover https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pov_... As for the ISBN, can I take a photo of my book page where the ISBN is, and send you the image? I don't know why Nova Poetika doesn't show ISBN.

[Emmy]

There's no further need to. I can see the ISBN on the backcover now.

[Martin]

Ok. Thank You! :)

[Emmy]

Oops! I now see that the ISBN on the backcover screenshot does not match with the one provided in your opening request...

Next time please provide the description in the language the book was written in and make sure to write the author's name in the correct/standard GR order - name, surname - to avoid confusing librarians that may not be as familiar with names in different languages :-)

[Emmy]

BTW: For a book written in Serbian the description should also be in Serbian.

[Martin]

Ok. Here are the corrections :)

Description:
Priče napisane za konkurs ZLATNI HRAST 2025 (organizator Nova POETIKA).

Ova zbirka priča kombinuje horor i crni humor, pružajući jedinstven uvid u distopijski svet u kojem dominira misteriozna kompanija "AlterEvo." Dok većina priča istražuje jezive i uznemirujuće događaje, tri priče se ističu kao satirične reklame za proizvode ove kompanije. Iako "AlterEvo" nije direktno prisutna u većini priča, njeno zloslutno delovanje se postepeno otkriva, povezujući sve priče u zajednički univerzum. Reklame su napisane u komičnom tonu, čime je istaknuta apsurdnost modernog marketinga koji čak i najgroznije proizvode može prikazati kao nešto što je hit i kul. Svaka priča se može čitati samostalno, ali pažljiv čitalac će uočiti niti koje ih povezuju kroz uticaj "AlterEvo" kompanije na sudbine likova.

Please help. My application for an author profile has been rejected three times, and I don't know why. Do I need to have an Amazon account?

I'm sorry, but librarians cannot be of any assistance with the process.

You'll have to sort this out with Support.

[Martin]

Ok. Thank you.
