Tor Mented Comments: I’m not sure if this horror anthology ought to have a “snake person” tag or just an “anatomical issues” tag.

8 out of 10 owners said their Nastassja Kinskis preferred it.

No, you cannot touch your tounge to your elbow. Unless you have anatomical issues.

@JuanPaul. No, you cannot touch your tongue to your elbow. Who knows what the cat-lady can do? Even if her human upper half lacks feline flexibility, she looks like a catlady who is going to keep trying until she can do it regardless.

This cover would be better viewed through anaglyph 3-D glasses. It would be best viewed through a completely opaque blindfold.

THE HOT POT SERIES
Kiss and Kiln
The original erotic horror anthology set in a high school ceramics class!

I have a sudden hankering for one of those ‘Fruit Salad’ penny chews from the 70s.

Thanks to B. Kliban I can tell this is a cat people and not a meatloaf.

@JuanPaul, @RachelJ: She’s not even touching her tongue to her elbow, she’s touching it to her lower arm – a pose which is anatomically doable for a non-contortionist or catperson.
She must think she tastes delicious – but WTF is going on with her lower body? It looks like she doesn’t have legs!

If the un-stickered image is at all accurate, she’ll have real trouble walking as either a biped or quadruped.
Presumably somewhere out there is a creature with the lower limbs of a pole-dancer and the head and fore-legs of Bagpuss.

The film version would have starred Tawny Kitaen.

I just hope she’s not a crazy cat lady, but I guess just looking at that cover the chances are rather slim?

🎶🎶What’s new pussycat whoa oh
What’s new pussycat whoa oh
Pussycat, pussycat, on the cover
You’ve got a lover who’s watching you
So go and lick yourself right on your pussycat arm
Pussycat, pussycat, that’s the charm
Although you can’t lick your elbow
And you have hideous feet
And bright shiny terrifying claws
What’s new pussycat whoa oh
What’s new pussycat whoa oh🎵🎵🎶

Why is she licking the non-furry part? That’s not gonna work on her skin or head hair.
How terrifying or sexy can she be when she’s licking herself and coughing up hairballs?
(I may be influenced here by the moggie on my lap and a lifelong acquaintance with the species.)
Regardless of the pointy claws, she’s not going to be too dangerous without any hind limbs, or hard to get away from with her walking on her hands.
This thing is a horrific freak of nature and an offense against God that ought to be… er… sent to a farm upstate. Yes.
@fred: bravo.
@BC: also bravo.

Meanwhile…
Piers Anthony co-wrote a YA book (rut-roh) about a girl and her dolphin (double rut-roh).
And you may say “Ex-noob, I bet it has a dumbass punny title and bad reviews.”

@GSS ex-noob. “Dolfin Tayle”. I see. A dyslexia sufferer and her dolphin, perhaps?
Still not as bad as “Mercycle”, though.

@RachelJ: Although it’s two misspelled ordinary words, which is pretty bad. But the cover isn’t GSS-worthy, so… yay?

So this is a book about menopausal “hot flashes” then?
I’m so glad that more SF deals with real-life women’s issues.
