Time for another “Rename This Horrible Cover” contest!
This book by Lin Carter is not quite as bad as its cover. But the cover definitely needs a new title.
The creator of the title we like best wins a book from our stacks.
Got a suggestion for a horrible cover that needs renaming? Please send it to Kat.
We love this game!
