How embarrassing for Mr. Death. He’s gone and crossed his forearm bones the wrong way. He’s showing off an unseemly amount of his radius that really ought to be obscured behind his ulna.
This cover has it all. I’m not sure what ‘all’ is, or why it’s there, but I can say with confidence that it is indeed there. Also “Death and Rockets” is my new band name.
Esp. B’mancer (3), FB (9), and Tor (13). And I move that this be the type specimen for both “interpretive dance” and “jazz hands”.
@Daard23: I think the book’s interior is the 10% good and the cover is so overwhelmingly the 90%.
@JuanPaul: GRRM finished things in those days. He got 6 whole volumes of these, though #6 was never published due to the later publisher’s bankruptcy, sez Goodreads.
@Yoss: indeed! Quite the backwards and overgrowth of bones.
@BC: I can neither confirm nor deny that in the early 80s, yon editor was occasionally called “Railroad” (Behind his back, since he hated it).
I’m hearing Gloria Estefan’s “Conga”: “Don’t you worry if you can’t dance
Let the music move your feet”.
Apparently this is illustrating “The Dancer in the Darkness” by Thomas F. Monteleone. “A beautiful young flamenco dancer in search of a forbidden dance.”
I thought Lambada was the forbidden dance, so perhaps Death is teaching her that in exchange for flamenco lessons. Also, not so much with the darkness — looks pretty well lit to me.
You realize that we should collect all remaining copies of this book, cross over the name “Campbell Award” and replace it with an “Astounding Award” sticker…
…but please use Post-It note paper, in case the award might have to be renamed AGAIN next year.

This death had better have Ian Richardson’s voice.

The rocket at right is just waiting for someone to ask her to dance, but alas…

Please tell me this is the death of The Rockettes.

These blurbs these blurbs:
“BRILLIANT OF SF STARS . . . TALES FROM THE NEXT EDITED BY CONSTELLATION GEORGE R.R. MARTIN”
Old “Constellation George,” as we used to call him in school, just before we stole his lunch money.

Edited by GRRM. I suppose hardcore fans are still waiting for him to finish editing volume 3!
Hahahahahahahaha…I’ll be on my way now.

Today in bringing a new meaning to “dancing with Death”…
I had no idea the Grim Reaper was such a party animal, though.

This cover proves Sturgeon’s law. I’m just not sure if it’s on the 90 % or the 10% side.

The Seventh Silo?
The Seventh Salsa?
What’s with the rocket that looks like a pepper-mill?

♪ He’s a skeleton, skeleton on the floor.
And he’s dancing like he’s never danced before. ♪
