Honey, do you mind turning around? I want to watch the football with your other half.Click for full image

Look, we need to appeal to both genders here. So we’ll have a male body fused with a female body from head to toe, in a kinda strange almost rubbery way. Obviously we’ll only show some cleavage because the last thing we’d want on there is a huge Johnson.

Thanks to Nix!

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neaaa, I\'ve seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It is somewhere in between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just Awful...I swear, that\\\'s my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Rating: 6.12 out of 10)

    My one thought of this morning when I saw this, do they have a shared anus?

    It’s too early.. and too cold…

  2. James Lovegrove Says:

    This is to make up for the man nipples on the last one, isn’t it? Good Show Sir — an equal-opportunities revealer of secondary sexual characteristics.

  3. Simon Says:

    Bleeeeeeeeeeeee!

    Just . . . Bleeeeeeeeeee!

  4. Nix Says:

    When the cover calls it ‘chilling’, it’s ‘cos of the way they have to walk — well, stagger — around naked, because how many clothes shops will sell them anything that fits?

    (oh. to add more ick and an entirely gratuitous conflict into the story; the hunk? He’s a Catholic priest.)

  5. Adam Roberts Says:

    Can’t work out if “bleeeeeeeeeeeee!” is exciting squealing, or disgusted retching.

    re. the cover: hmm. Presumably neither of them has a back bottom. That must make digestion and excretion awkward. Or impossible.

  6. Adam Roberts Says:

    Which is, I now see, merely to repeat SI’s comment. My excuse must be: the cover blinded me.

  7. Nix Says:

    I see my camera failed me a bit, but, yes, the woman’s face is in fact lighter in colour than everything else on the page. Normally it’s the bits that are covered by clothing that get darker, but not in this alternative world…

    I have no idea what their ridiculous expressions are meant to mean (well, they seem to be having a good time, which is *really* unfaithful to the novel).

  8. James Lovegrove Says:

    They lightened the woman’s face colour because, well, a green-faced woman? That would be just icky, and this is a cover that could in no way be described as icky.

    the saddest thing about this one…

    I googled “mike dolinsky”, the first two hits are some kids facebook page. I cant imagine the author is some 14 year old who wears his baseball cap backwards.

    3rd is his wiki page

    5th google hit is some sort of gay pr0n site called goodshowsir.co.uk

    Woman: Quick! We have 3 incoming targets!
    Man: No problem, i’ve got your back.

  10. Simon Says:

    Also it seems he gets to have the arms facing the right way. Whatever the other problems this must cause I expect she is rather thankful for this . . .

  11. Nix Says:

    CSA: the book was published in 1972. So, no, I don’t think this 14-year-old wrote it 25 years before he was born…

    The book is definitely a child of the early 70s (trippy leading to depressing).

  12. Karl Says:

    “The most chilling book about the future since the Adromeda Strain.” Faint praise. That’s like saying it’s the best jungle adventure movie since “Congo.” Still, with exposed brains and boobs the book must have moved considerable units off the shelves to appeal to the philistines in charge of the publishing house.

  13. Sorcha Says:

    “In a tragic twist of genetic fate, the first opposite-gender identical twins in recorded history were joined at the…well, the whole back of the torso, really. With no chance of separation, the twins made the best of their situation by writing and starring in their one-man/woman show, ‘Ranma 1/2: Live on Broadway’.”
