Q: What, exactly, does “USA Today Bestseller” mean?
A: There is no rational answer. Scientists are stumped. The mystery of the “X Bestseller” tag remains unsolved.

An “Argh! No!” Novel?

Goodness, he certainly looks chained.

It seems that this is the twenty-fifth book in the series…

@DSWBT – Was Django Unchained part of this series?

My eyes are up. . . oh wait.

Dude is so bad ass he dries himself off with a chain in stead of a towel.

@ 1 and 4 – I think the book titles in this vampy vampire series go a long way in explaining the USA TODAY bestseller thing.

“Lynsey sands immortal unchained.”
It is easier to sand immortals if you chain them first. As you can see, the process generates a lot of heat.

@BC: are you sure that isn’t lint?

As Fred and Dead Stuff note, this mechanically-recovered fantasy product is the result of the Acme Random Series Title Generator. As with Robert Lynn Asprin’s 80s multi-author collections putting ‘myth’ inside titles, this one is set to take well-known book and film names, replace a word with ‘Bite’ or ‘Immortal’ and produce a new title. Well, new-ish.
Forthcoming Attractions:
Reservoir Bites
The Immortal who Fell to Earth
Captan Corelli’s Bite
The Immortal on the Train
Eat, Prey, Bite
The Immortal from UNCLE
The Bite Stuff
My Big Fat Immortal Wedding
Boogie Bites
The Immortal with the Dragon Tattoo
Runaway Bite
Go Set an Immortal
and so on

More like Immoral Unchained. Amirite?

@Tat W—great list. Only missing a few classics:
Annie Bites
Last Immortal in Paris
Gone with the Bite
The Immortal Who Knew Too Much
Taxi Biter

@JuanPaul: I was just going to mention that!
Either that, or this gentleman is making a new fashion statement by using a chain as a scarf.
November 6th, 2017 at 6:47 pm
Well, Rite-Aid is a chain store.
November 6th, 2017 at 6:50 pm
@Tor M—so is Bite-Aid, I think.

This is really, really tame and dull compared to a lot of them. I mean, he doesn’t have a weapon, and he’s not even a werewolf. Or any sort of were-critter. The anatomy looks fine; everything’s in proportion and he’s not weirdly overly-cut. No font problems. But holy cow, 25 of these books. Lynsay be selling!
@ARY (1) USA Today is a newspaper distributed across the country, mostly in hotels and airports and such. It has a best seller list every week. It actually counts all the books sold, as opposed to the New York Times’ mysterious ways where they poll a selection of the “right” kind of places and extrapolate from that. NYT doesn’t count drug stores (like Rite-Aid) nor big-box stores, where a whooole lot of books are sold. So while it’s not as prestigious, it is a better indicator of what the public is buying.
I mostly use Amazon, since the two bookstores in my town closed. I have purchased books at the drug store, the grocery store, Target (best sellers 10-40% off), Wal-Mart… it’s convenient when you’re shopping for household goods to also take a look at the book section. None of those sales of mine were registered by the NYT.
This guy may have been chained, but he still managed to keep up the grooming — waxed torso, carefully trimmed beard. I guess when you’re Immortal, you have plenty of time to learn how to do these things.

Oh, immoral, immortal
I’ve hungered for your book
A long, lonely time.
Time goes by so slowly
And I don’t give a ….
Are you still mine?
I need your book
I need your book
God speed your book to me.

Ha ha! No doubt recognized from his image on Good Show Sir! We can now sleep much easier in our beds, especially those of us who sleep in beds at service stations.

If he’s been unchained, why is he still hanging on to that chain? Wouldn’t he want to be rid of it?
This is why I hate those kinds of covers and by extension that brand of waxed-buffed-tattooed beefcake. Gimmee skinny, angsty artistic types.

@Tracy: Perhaps this is in the middle of the unchaining? He’s about to throw it off into the fire-smoke-lint.
Or maybe he’s gotten to like it and he’s going to save that part for fun later on, in Book 28.
I’ve never cared for the waxed chest myself. I like an occasional secondary sex characteristic.
