Time for another “Rename This Horrible Cover” contest!
Please help us rename this atrocious-looking science fiction novel by Michael Moorcock.
(We love Moorcock’s Eternal Champion stories but, sadly, this is the second Moorcock cover we’ve been forced to feature in this column).
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!
FanLit is a hobby for us, but it costs us money to run the site. You can help by using our links to purchase books at Amazon. Just click on our images of the book covers. It won't cost you any extra, but FanLit will get a referral fee for anything you buy (not just books). We use this money to pay for our domain names, hosting, software, and mailing books to giveaway winners. Thank you!

What a perceptive and beautiful review. You make it clear that Yamada not only knows the story she wants to…

Thanks for the kind words, Ira! Much appreciated!
Fine review
What the…what?? Good grief. What were they smoking when they made this one?
Ok, first attempt:
Basketball Variations, Teen Boy Edition
“Agony of Perception”
…because looking at this hurts my eyes.
Wow…that’s a truly horrible cover.
Here’s mine:
The Delusion of an Eternal Narcissist
When Makeovers Go Wrong?
More an observation than a title; the 1960s *were* as weird as I remember them.
Seriously, the only one on that cover who looks like they might possibly be having a good time is the lady trying to pour wine (I assume) into the mouth of the terrified/astonished/trapped warrior guy. He looks like he’s much rather be somewhere else, and the birds that make up his chair don’t look that far behind him.
Ack! It looks like my proposed title didn’t make it into my post. I bring you: THIS IS NOT NEARLY AS MUCH FUN AS IT LOOKS!
Jonathan, you are absolutely right.
LSD Visions
Where Rainbow Poop Really Comes From
Blind Dates for Dummies
When a cover is so bad your mind blanks… The only thing I could come up with was:
Ifreeti Love Affair
It’s terrible, but so is the cover.
What A Sight to See: Confessions of a One-Legged, Two-Birded, Flame-Haired People-Eater.
God of Confusion
“Fun With Donald and Ivanka.”
Kali-Man and the Babes of Doom!
“Babes of Doom” could be a band name!
Melanie G, if you live in the USA, you win a book of your choice from our stacks.
Please contact me (Marion) with your choice and a US address. Happy reading!
By the way, everyone, like every Giveaway, we use random selection. It would be impossible for me to choose the “best” because they were all so funny!
Yay! Thank you! :-)
