Search Results for: rename this horrible cover

I felt it was time we do another cover rename segment. The cover I have for you today is form Death’s Daughter by Amber Benson. We gave this book a good review, and if you dig Urban Fantasy you should probably give it a read. It’s not the book, but the cover that is my target today. It’s quite awful, and I would love to rename it.

The first thing my eyes are drawn to on this cover is the creepy puppy photobombing in the corner.

Yeah, it made me jump too, the first time I saw this. My husband sent this to me in response to an email I had sent to him proclaiming this book to have the worst cover of any book I had ever seen. I opened the email and literally flinched.

The title of the book, Twilight of Briareus, doesn’t seem nearly evocative enough for artwork this…stunning. What is going on?  Why is a giant disembodied baby head floating through space?  Is this a sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey crossed with The Blair Witch Project?

Welcome to the third installment of Rename This Horrible Cover!

This week, I invite you to feast your eyes on this beauty.

Isn’t this a spectacularly bizarre cover? Is that a dog? A hell hound? A lion with mange? What exactly is that large ominous thing? And how is it both behind the man and in front of him at the same time? I’m so confused.

So dear readers, I turn to you. What’s a better name for this cover? I submit “Lord of the Fading Lion Breath.”

Welcome to the second installment of Rename This Horrible Cover!

This week, I invite you to feast your eyes on this beauty. Honestly, I have no idea what’s going on in this picture. Is that a carriage? Being driven by Santa’s helpers? Are they avalanche surfing? Why are the people so skinny? Were they hunting for bones on the mountainside? Are those special cadaver sniffing horses? I really am so confused.

Please help us rename this awful-looking story collection by Christopher Anvil. Rx for Chaos is highly rated at Amazon, by the way, so let’s not judge the book by its cover.

Please help us rename this strange-looking science fiction novel by Chester Anderson and Pocket books. The Butterfly Kid, which is a semi-autobiographical fantasy about LSD hallucinations (surprise, surprise), was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1968 but didn’t win. Has anyone read it?
