Mommy, I’m All Better Now!

There is something kind of sick about this cover and I had to stare at it for a while (oh, what I do for your amusement) to figure out what it was. Although I gather that the male and the female are supposed to be loverly toward each other, the male is looking at the female like… a little boy. Like he’s either looking to her for approval or validation or god-knows-what. And the female is all patronizing and shit, like she’s saying, “Who’s my big boy? Who’s my great big boy? Who loves Mommy?” Eww. Or I’ve taken too much Nyquil again and I should really lay down. The girl looks like… the Noxzema Chick or Ezri Dax from DS-9. I can’t decide. And dude looks kind of like a grown-up Peter Brady from the Brady Bunch. Nasty. And I don’t know about you guys, but there’s something vaguely insect-like about her. This cover kind of reminds me of that episode of Buffy where Xander falls in love with the new substitute teacher and she invites him over for dinner and turns out to be a GIANT PREYING MANTIS. Man… that episode was both ridiculous and hilarious. Anyway, I guess she could be his bodyguard if she was a shapeshifter who shifted into her preying mantis mode when threatened and bit his enemies’ heads off. After she had sex with them, of course.

Props to Amber for sending me this cover. All hail Amber!

    Three in a row. Oy. Tell that Amber she owes us all a drink for this last one. “Don’t worry, darling. I’m just waiting until you doze off. . . mmmm I love manflesh.”

    bah, you have to take off all of that bam stuff to get to Doug’s windingo story. BUT, hey, I say any interested parties should click anyway. That 404 message is as good as any cover. Better than most.

    Thanks for the linky lurve, but I’m still confused by Kate’s comment:

    bah, you have to take off all of that bam stuff to get to Doug’s windingo story.

    What’s Kate talking about?

    And it’s wendigo, my darlings. Windingo is something I have to avoid zipping up three or four times per day.

    What’s Kate talking about?

    She messed up her tags (ha ha), so instead of the link going to you, it goes to a 404 error on my site. The “bam stuff” is the url of my site. :)

    TALK ABOUT THE POST, DAMN IT!

    Bam, it is all about the post, or at least the cover. It is entirely a cannibal (or carnivorous) cover and those are so clearly rubber sheets. Okay, maybe flannel, but is that such a leap?

    You know what I love so much about my story? When the one chick tells her new-found boytoy that she has rubber sheets, he thinks it’s a good thing.

    When they think they’re gonna get laid, men are soooo dumb.
