Looking at the SSL certificate errors on Goodreads, have you tried visiting Goodreads in a browser (Edge, Chrome) recently? Otherwise, can you try using Amazon servers instead of Google web cache for Amazon? When I went to Amazon servers, the metadata was accessible while using Google webcache, gave the same error for the Amazon metadata as you were seeing.

Edit: For what little it may be worth, the only Amazon metadata source that is working for me is selecting Amazon servers.

Spoiler:

Title : The Canterville Ghost

Comments : <p>An American diplomat's family moves into an ancient stately mansion. They're warned by the owner that it is haunted by a most horrifying and gruesome spirit who had once cruelly murdered his own wife. The story progresses with creaking floor boards, mysterious passages, dark attics, clanking chains, and weird howling. Yet, the reader is totally unprepared for Oscar Wilde's brand of tongue in cheek humor as he takes all the ingredients of a traditional ghost story and turns it on its head, and creates a hilarious parody instead of a morbid saga! </p>
<p>The Canterville Ghost was the first of Oscar Wilde's short stories to be published. It appeared in a magazine in 1887 and provides a prophetic glimpse into Wilde's genius for comic timing, dialogue and situational comedy. He had a successful career as a journalist and poet and consequently turned to fiction and drama. </p>
<p>The plot is one that leaves the reader chuckling at every turn. The American diplomat and his family are products of a purely pragmatic culture which has no patience with sentimentality and superstitions. The English mansion is steeped in legends about ancient curses and the diabolical doings of a seventeenth century specter. The Americans believe in a robust, healthy and practical way of life and use all manner of branded cleaning products. The two youngest members of the family called the Stars and Stripes set wicked traps for the ghost, while the daughter Virginia is the only one who can truly appreciate the poor ghost's situation.</p>

Comments : <p>“The Canterville Ghost” is a humorous (Horror) short story by Oscar Wilde ♥. The story is about an American family who moved to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead English nobleman , who killed his wife and was then walled in and starved to death by his wife's brothers. It has been adapted for the stage and screen several times. ★ Summary of the Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde ★ “The Canterville Ghost” begins with the sale of an old British mansion called Canterville Chase to Horace B. Otis, an American minister. Though the former owner, Lord Canterville , warns Mr. Otis that the mansion is haunted, Mr. Otis is not worried and replies that ghosts do not exist. Soon after, Mr. Otis moves into the Chase with the rest of his his wife, Lucretia; his eldest son, Washington; his fifteen-year-old daughter, Virginia; and his two younger twin boys. Upon moving in, Mrs. Otis notices a dull red stain on the ground and requests that it be cleaned. Their housekeeper reveals that it is a bloodstain from the murder of Lady Eleanore de Canterville , who was killed in 1575 with the aid of her husband , Sir Simon de Canterville , and that it cannot be removed. She warns Mrs. Otis that Sir Simon’s guilty ghost still haunts Canterville Chase. Dismissing the housekeeper’s story as nonsense, Washington shortly pulls out a container of Pinkerton's Champion Stain Remover, scrubbing it onto the spot until the stain is gone. As soon as the stain is removed, lightning flashes and a peal of thunder rocks the house. The housekeeper faints in terror. Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde ★ </p>

Title : The Canterville Ghost and Other Stories

Comments : <p>Renowned for his poetry, plays, essays, and conversational skills, Oscar Wilde also wrote scintillating works of short fiction. This volume includes four fine examples, including <em>The Canterville Ghost</em> , the comical tale of a spirit who terrorized the residents of Canterville Chase for three centuries. When the manor is acquired by a no-nonsense American family with no use for the supernatural, hilarity ensues.<br />
Three other stories feature "The Sphinx Without a Secret," a tale of an enigmatic woman who carries a mystery's key to her grave; "The Model Millionaire," recounting the exploits of a "delightful, ineffectual young man with a perfect profile and no profession"; and "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime," in which an aristocrat learns that he is destined to commit murder. Rounding out the volume are Wilde's lyrical <em>Poems in Prose</em> : "The Artist," "The Doer of Good," "The Disciple," "The Master," "The House of Judgment," and "The Teacher of Wisdom." </p>
