“What the heck, put Lon Chaney Jr on the cover, he’s probably dead anyway so we can’t get sued!”

Out of the depths emerged the giant wolf-creature—come to destroy all who stood in his monstrous path.
This seems to be a rather narrowly-conceived, actually quite pointless existence, all in all.

Well, I think Lord Kelvin pretty much summed it up: if the book has a giant wolf-creature, I wanna see a picture of it trampling Tokyo, damn it.
(Perhaps the blurb is exaggerating, and they’re not showing the actual wolf creature because readers would be all “well, I’m underwhelmed” and go read something else).
@B. Chiclitz: well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
@Tat Wood: there are a variety of Seawolves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seawolf

I think “font problems” might be appropriate here. Or at least “font ugliness”. That G is a crime against typography.
@Lord Kelvin: I bet it has glowy LED eyes too. Marked down the morning of Nov. 1 when it didn’t sell.
@Rick Deckard: heh.
@Bruce: But what of the Airwolves? Only one of those.
