Wow. Just wow.
This has got to be one of the very worst book covers we’ve ever seen.
There are so many ways this is wrong.
Please help us rename this horrible cover, because it should not polluting this excellent story collection by Ray Bradbury.
The author of the new title we like best wins a book from the FanLit Stacks.
Got a suggestion for a horrible cover that needs renaming? Send it to me.
KAT HOOPER, who started this site in June 2007, earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience and psychology at Indiana University (Bloomington) and now teaches and conducts brain research at the University of North Florida. When she reads fiction, she wants to encounter new ideas and lots of imagination. She wants to view the world in a different way. She wants to have her mind blown. She loves beautiful language and has no patience for dull prose, vapid romance, or cheesy dialogue. She prefers complex characterization, intriguing plots, and plenty of action. Favorite authors are Jack Vance, Robin Hobb, Kage Baker, William Gibson, Gene Wolfe, Richard Matheson, and C.S. Lewis.
