Stevie Comments: Robert Silverberg’s Recalled to Life has to be the classic tentacle-sex cover drama. Why is the guy naked and floating in a huge vat of octopus to begin with? Wow!
Published 1977

   I dare you to run around in public while holding up that book cover and shouting to everyone who sees it: “YES!! I am a science-fiction fan, and proud of it! I read books like this one and I’m not ashamed, you hear?!”

   You need a new tag: tentacles.

   I have heard it said that Robert Silverberg is a talented writer with a remarkable ability to craft captivating prose. And then I see this cover!

   Actually, if you look closer the author’s name is First Paperback Publication (has to be a pen name), and the title of the novel is ROBERT SILVERBERG RECALLED TO LIFE.

   Quite apart from the disturbingly pink skin, one hopes this process will cure the poor chap of his spindly little legs and RIDICULOUSLY long arms

    The title is incorrect; this is actually a sequel an Ayn Rand novel and is called, in some countries, “Atlas Raped”

    Although to be honest I can’t tell who is doing the raping in this image
