Done. #4 retained as audiobook format since it's what's listed on Amazon's site instead of Audible.

For #4, it says Audible at the top of the Amazon page and has the Audible logo and legal language involving Audible all over the page as well. Additionally, Amazon does not sell non-Audible digital audiobooks at all. The format should be changed.
Bumping one last time for the format issue before starting a new thread elsewhere.

1. All Editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

2. Paperback: The Weird and the Eerie (ISBN 9781910924389)
- The publication date is incorrect. It should be December 15, 2016.
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows, transcribed from the back cover:
What exactly are the ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes.
The ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’ are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own properties.
Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’ both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling. Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the ‘weird’ and the ‘eerie’.
These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, H.G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer, and Christopher Nolan.

3. Kindle: The Weird and the Eerie (ASIN B01DHWAMCI)
- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:
A noted cultural critic unearths the weird, the eerie, and the horrific in 20th-century culture through a wide range of literature, film, and music references—from H.P. Lovecraft and Daphne Du Maurier to Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan.
What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? Two closely related but distinct modes, and each possesses its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, but this genre alone does not fully encapsulate the pull of the outside and the unknown.
In several essays, Mark Fisher argues that a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of transitory concepts such as the Weird and the Eerie.
Featuring discussion of the works of: H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christopher Nolan.
