I thought she was supposed to be little, and red, and wearing a riding hood…

I’m expecting to see Jack Skellingdon tripping along somewhere in the background.

Here we go gathering nuts in May… or maybe, um, the opposite of that.

That bow must be incredibly heavy.

Corinna begins to understand why her husband enjoys visiting the forest so often.

JP@5: look at the flowers, and then tell me why you think she needs a bow for her arrows. 😉

Phew, for a moment there I thought we were going to be making fun of Pterry.

1) Corinna’s last name is Trotgarden.
2) The planet is ruled by radical feminists.
3) This is a Storm Constantine novel.
4) Gardens do get trotted.

@fred: Is this Jeopardy? Er, I’ll take ‘Today’s Cover’, for 100.
1) What is ‘a stupid family name’?
2) What is ‘reverse stereotyping’?
3) What is ‘fair warning that things will get more bizarrely sexual than a Depeche Mode album’?
4) What is ‘no surprise at all’?

Illustrated: Corinna, facing depravity.
July 10th, 2017 at 5:15 pm
Young lady with medievalish clothing and model posture, who regardless looks so, so eighties, stands in a forest filled with flowers suspiciously reminiscent of female genitalia (there, I said it) over a citadel.
My report: meh.

WAAA-AAA-AAAH! Bodyform
There, I said it.

Corinna could not understand why her husband spent countless hours carefully tending his flower garden.
July 10th, 2017 at 7:20 pm
Are those pussy-willows?
July 10th, 2017 at 11:57 pm
@B’mancer: I hope they’re not snap-dragons.

Corinna faced depravity… and that was just the flora.
Okay, if the city is more depraved than the marshes, it couldn’t be displayed on a book cover sold in shops where people under 18 are allowed. What else has it got besides those towers, eh?
At least she’ll have great aerobic capacity. let’s get physical, physical… Eww.
Wait, is she holding a KNIFE? Is she cutting off those flowers and putting them in her basket and taking them to the city to add to the depravity? I think so.

In the self-published re-release, the cover seems to indicate that poor Corinna has melted from all the depravity.

I dare you to read the plot description and keep a straight face.
Her tank top remains consistent, even in the two editions of the sequel (!)

# GSS ex-noob. My favourite bit is from the customer review, where it’s casually dropped that the leader of this society is known as “The Dominatrix”.
July 11th, 2017 at 8:49 pm
@RachelJ: and yet apparently she doesn’t Dominate properly. Which a Goodreads reviewer also thought. Another called the book “nightmare fuel”.
Apparently one *can* judge this book by the cover.

I read title and author together: The Monstrous Regiment Storm Constantine”–like storming the castle, only on Depraved 80s planet.
July 19th, 2017 at 2:57 am
@infoqueen: Is the regiment storming one of the Emperors Constantine, or the comic book character? If it’s Depraved 80’s, definitely the latter.
July 19th, 2017 at 9:38 pm
I believe the flowers require space sheep!

This cover just might have worked… but somehow the editor forgot that the large empty upper half of the image was intended for the title and the author’s name.
