Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.Click for full image

Man of the Mountian’s Art Direction: So, the story is about a girl trapped in the middle of the black death in midevial England, while everyone back in her time are dying of a flu epidemic. Give us a nice upbeat cover, otherwise nobody is going to buy this!
Published 1993

Actually, that cover is a visual feast!I would pick that one up.Neeaaa, I've seen worse.Interesting, but I would still take it on a train.It's somewhere between the awful/good scale.Would not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...I swear, thats my flatmates!Gah... my eyes! They are burning!Good Show Sir.... Good Show! (Average: 6.07 out of 10)

    “Sigh… Doomsday wasn’t so bad after all that, was it?”

  3. Scott Marlowe Says:

    Great book (all the medieval scenes, anyway. I could have done w/out most of the modern era stuff). Horrible cover.

  4. Adam Roberts Says:

    Trying to tell the future with the ‘DNA’ tarot, I see. There are millions of cards in that pack, you know. Though only four designs …

    What a novel use for a TING!

    I thought the DNA thing was a sticker, not part of the actual cover.

  6. A.R.Yngve Says:

    This is a remarkably “retro” cover — might have been on some 1940s pulp magazine.

    Also, it screams “ROMANCE!!!” Because the Black Death makes the ladies swoon faster than Barry White, baby.

  7. Ian Says:

    Give us a nice upbeat cover… with tiny people on it, a giant head and some guy riding away on a horse.

  8. Anti-Sceptic Says:

    Wow, that horse seems to be emitting own light. Either he’s running really, really fast, or that is one badly faded cover!

  9. Smith Says:

    Behold! I have the biggest sleeves in all the kingdom!

    Check out the scientists having fun with the DNA strand.
