Author of Above the Lower Sky and other stupidly named books presents…
THE DEMONS IN THE GREEN; or, ‘I can’t spell “Quetzalcoatl” and I must scream’

‘Thunderbird O’Conner’. The hero’s name is fucking Thunderbird O’Conner’. If the author isn’t on the piss, I’m about to be.

Is this science fiction or a Mountain Dew commercial?

Given the amount of naked young manflesh on display here I’m guessing this isn’t about a unusually lively English village cricket match.

These dudes must be related to this guy. Or maybe this guy. Or is it this guy?

Male flesh on display? Check. Bright colours? Check. Rock and roll music? Check. All we need is a park or community centre to save, and we have an 80s teen film!

Those dolphin/killer-whale tails indicate that we’re seeing the middle segment of a truncated movie poster.

Inca Malmstein? Eddie Mayan Halen? Aztec Young? OK, Carlos Santana it is.

The humankind has a new enemy, alright. Lurking somewhere below the upper case, probably.

Animal tails. A bird hat. An electric guitar. A castle. Water.
And, of course, Thunderbird O’Conner.
Well this book certainly seems bad, just looking at it.

…golf.

Guitar god is going to get a chaffed nipple from that strap.

The positioning of the two gentlemen, two tails, contrasting colours and the wavey line between them suggests a yin and yang symbol…a stupid, stupid one.

Well, Aztec rock ‘n rollers would definitely be up high in the Hardcore Metal hierarchy what with the heart-removal of some audience member at the finale

Dozens of colors on this cover and the author’s name is the same color as the background. It’s not like he had any shame, what with an Irish-Aztec hero who has a first name from neither culture, and orcas, which aren’t much associated with either place. And then there’s the electric guitar and the dragon.
I’d like to tag this “font problems” as well; 4 different ones in 4 different colors, including one that’s either indicating “groovy” (20+ years too late) or “seasick” (yep).

Did I hear

?
Oh yeah.

Oooh! Almost-instant gratification.

“Greetings, people of Seattle! We are Aztec Beefcake, and we’re here to sweep you off your feet like a tidal wave! Here’s our first song, dedicated to our ocean brothers and sisters, called ‘Rock You Like a Killer Whale’! One-two-three-four…”

@DSWBT: Along with the community center, there needs to be either a fist-fight or a dance-off. I’m not picky: we could have both…

@infoqueen: They start with a fist fight, then someone says they should solve their problems non-violently, and then the dance-off begins, live music by Aztec Beefcake.

@iq, GSS choreographer: everyone must laugh at some point, too, I believe…

This is what happens when a desperate author tries to find inspiration by pulling random words out of a hat.
“Let’s see, I’ve got… Cathedral… Dragon… Aztec… Whale… Stratocaster. All I have to do is somehow write a novel around them!”

We’ve found the token female of the band. Her character arc is learning to ‘be herself’ and ‘expose some flesh’.

And demon’d on de green…

@DSWBT: that would be us.

@DSWBT: So that’s where Aztec Beefcake cut a few tracks! Before or after the dance-off?
