Hakan Comments: I picked this up in Picocon 29 in London today. Cost me a grand total of £1. Interestingly this was mainly before the hippy ages so I am not sure what they were smoking.

Vincent’s Art Direction: So here’s what I’m thinking. A man and a woman in a landfill. I want the woman tastefully nude, so have the man covering her naughty bits even though they’re standing about twenty feet apart. Lastly, have an army of giant preying mantises coming over the hill.

Clay Comments: This junior-high rendition of what seems to be a mad scientist and his platinum-haired babe — along with their webbed victims — has absolutely nothing to do with this book. Bryant is a very literary writer with a New Wave bent.
