Click for full imageYou know what type of reader suffers in the world of sci-fi/fantasy? Men! We need something for the men! So just put a redhead vampire chick with a huge rack right there on the front cover, holding her shotgun. It’s about time that we have something men can enjoy unlike those, dragons, swords, guns, lasers…….space ships…..oh…

Ah. Sweet Baen, how i missed the horrific orange font.
She must be super tough… she’s not even wearing shoulder pads

But man look at those shoulders! No wonder she doesn’t cover them up. They look like boulders.

I think its the small things that make it special. The addition of the pointless and unnecessary [an] in the promotional quote. The Wm. Mark Simmons in a desperate attempt to engineer the authors name so it would fit just right and of course the delightful skull decoration on the doorway pillars; no kick-arse vampire lady would be without these little touches that make a home.

Do you think ‘Wm’ is short for ‘William’, or do you think that’s actually his name? I prefer the latter hypothesis. I like the thought of people greeting him by shouting ‘Hey Wm! Wm! Over here! Wm!’

Excellent skull finding Little Mi
I strangely missed that completely!
I’m also not convinced those straps around her waist actually hold anything in place.
WM. is probably his street name. As in, DJ WM. ‘Raps about vampires and all that jazz.’

D’ya know, she really ought to be careful with those, When she runs, she’s just going to knock herself unconscious. Not enought support!
Well as long as Charlaine Harris thinks it’s worth reading…

She is clearly lifting her head up to see under her sunglasses. Guess that will teach her for wearing them at night!

Perhaps the straps are there to hold in the evil child of satan that is about to dig its way out of her deceptively toned and placid belly in preparation for total world domination.
…maybe…

This cover has annoyed me now. While reading last night all I could image for a girl in the book was this women and then couldn’t stop laughing.
Oh what fun nights I have….

Police rookie: So which house do you think the evil vampire lives in?
Sergeant: I’ve got this hunch it’s this one here, the house with the pillars and scary skulls beside the old oak door.
Police rookie: Well how will we recognise her?
Sergeant: Well if the movie Blade has taught me anything, we should just kill anything with lots of leather and wears sunglasses all the time
Police rookie: but what about emo kids…
Sergeant: I said kill anything…

I didn’t realize this cover was already on this site! Habeas CORPSES, Baen? I think even you guys should be a little ashamed of that one. Or, you know, this cover in general.

Immense, isn’t it? Equally, they could have gone with a World War III-style hewn block and got away with it, such is the aweful majesty of the pun.
