Women love their horses and I’m pretty sure everyone grows up wanting that pony all their life. So that’s what we’ll give ‘em. Except give the horse a certain quality, an almost surprised expression as he stares off into the vast distance. And give the L&D letters of the title a black fill. I can’t see that one back-firing.

I thought modern cameras were configured to avoid red-eye?

I love the hair cut that horse has. A bit new romantics meets emo…staring out into the stormy distance. That’s one soulful horse.

Looks like she’s got that belt pretty tight around her waist. Which looks about the size of an arm.

Ouch. Poor girl, her organs must be crushed by that belt.
And the horse really does look like a depressed emo kid. I think the red-eye is actually contact lenses. I think all animals should wear red contacts, and creepy children too. Creepy children + red eyes = Perfect horror movie

Even better if they are twins.

Evil children riding evil horses?
We may be onto a low budget blockbuster here.

Let’s accept that the wind is blowing from behind them. That still doesn’t excuse her boofy Linda-Hamilton-in-Terminator-1 hair.

Nothing excuses that hair cut. But i think you’re onto something with the Terminator reference. It would certainly explain the red eyes. If we could tie in the evil child twins with the emo Teminator horse, i think we could have a blockbuster here.

James: you think that’s boofy Linda-Hamilton-in-Terminator-1 hair? I reckon it’s massive curly lead-singer-of-Slade sideburns.

I don’t think that woman is wearing any pants on the horse. Why does the horse looked drugged up? Why is the wind blowing from the opposite direction of the storm? Why is the book in a rombus shape?? It should have been a pop-up book. and then at the climax, you actually get shocked when you turn the page.

I think the horse is cute. It looks like Tintin!

But… wasn’t tintin… you know… apart from annoying. A redhead?
I’m not sure if I see it irisclara

@SI close your eyes, now imagine Tintin except he’s black and er… a horse, now give him huge red eyes instead of the wee specks he has, give him a lightning tattoo on the shoulder. He’s also naked. Open your eyes and scroll up, TA-DA, thats exactly what you were thinking!
Is the black Tintin called Tantan? ….Prince Philip told me that one during our weekly Bridge game.
Personally i think the horse looks like emo hitler

@CSA Still not seeing it to be fair. And to ALSO be fair. The last thought I needed this morning was tintin naked.

so the cover is wonderfully awful, then Adam, James, SI and CSA make comments that make me cry laughing.
I think stevetalbert’s suggestion of a pop-up book is excellent. combine that with the evil child twins and the Terminator horse and the whole publishing industry will grind to a halt – this book will be so perfect, no one will ever want to write or read another one.
but maybe the rider could lose her mustache before the cover of the pop-up book.
