i actually read this one a couple of years ago, and i’ve got to say it’s pretty good, if a bit gimmicky. it’s about a blind guy who has a device that allows him to see through the eyes of any creature near him, and he has to escape from a concentration camp. cue scenes of trying to escape from your captors whilst looking at yourself through their eyes…
It’s also the only story I’ve ever read which shows its age via the lack of a voice synthesiser tied into a search engine (you can read the results on a screen, but you can’t have the machine speak them to you… instead you have to get it to speak *everything in its memory* until you find the right bit).

Nice – reminds me of that daft PKD story about the “eyes following you around the room.”
Although in this case the room is a swamp.
Does the book actually refer to a “hell-camp?”

This one is really weird, rather than bad. I’d read it!

It’s like the old cartoons. I think he’s just seen a hot nurse. Ahoooooooga!

A blind man chases eyes in a swamp. Umm…
With less artistic talent, 80 000 dollar price tag and some pseudo symbolic explanation, the artist could have a successful career in modern art.

Eyeballs eyeballs everywhere, and not a pair to see!

@Richard Palmer:
My mom used to make me go to Hell Camp, every summer.
We played a lot of blind man’s bluff.

Hahaha, I parsed that as “blind man’s buff” which added an extra layer of wrongness to proceedings.

Is it just me or are the eyes trailing off from his ocular cavities or his boobs?

I think this pretty nice artwork was also recycled for other book titles…
…while it OUGHT to have been recycled for titles like:
- I HAVE NO EYES AND I MUST STUMBLE by Harlan Ellison
- THE LOST EYEBALLS by Dan Brown

This is a slightly more realistic depiction of what happens after Pac-Man eats his ghost tormentors.

futurescientist> very good! hahahaa
He also could have been eaten and currently in the stomach of the last invisible monster.

futurescientist is definitely on to something. He must have read the script for the soon-to-be-made live-action PAC-MAN movie.
(Starring Tom Cruise as Pac-Man, and John Malkovich as Blinky. Oh, God help us all.)

Ah, you mean this PAC-Man film?

Now where’d I put my shirt? This is cutting in to my bongo playing time.
