Tom Noir Comments: If cats could read the story you wrote about them, they still wouldn’t.
Published 1984

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 4.64 out of 10)

    Doesn’t look a bit like one of the Magi.

    Did they ever release an anthology called “Exclamation Marks!”? How loud are you supposed to shout these titles, anyway?

    Druidogs! have a special way of worshipping trees.

  4. Tat Wood Says:

    In 1984 any hint that Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen King were collaborating would sell well, so there’s a certain logic to the art.

    No one ever brought me a unicorn (or even a UNICORN!). I feel I’ve missed out.

    Featuring Fritz (The Cat) Leiber

    That cat has the smug grin of someone who knows something you don’t, but really should, and it is vaguely troubling.

    RIP Gardner Dozois.

  9. Innocent Bystander Says:

    Are these fantasies you’re supposed to read to your cat? Or fantasies they have about what they want? Besides ruling the earth of course.

    Magi Cats!: The story of philosopher felines from the East who visit scenes of Messianic birth.

    (I was gonna do the Fritz Leiber thing but B’Mancer beat me to it, as usual.) 😉

    @John D. Payne – Sorry to hear the sad news. Hope we didn’t jinx him with the post.

    I probably read this and maybe even owned it.

    Unreasonably happy to see the “Cats!” tag.

    @Tor (1), @BC (10): Wouldn’t they be Persian cats? And wouldn’t traveling through deserts on camels mess up their long hair something terrible? And what would Baby Jesus do with a dead mouse, a bit of string, and a hairball as gifts?

    I was at a con this weekend and it turns out the aforementioned in here somewhere Melissa Snark indeed lives up to her name. Otherwise a nice person, and she managed to read aloud 10 minutes’ worth of a Chuck Tingle opus about Unicorns! without breaking down. A gay Civil War Unicorn! ghost. Featuring a hero named Roger. MY ASS IS HAUNTED BY THE GAY UNICORN COLONEL.

    Wherein the most mind-boggling thing to the panel and audience was that said Unicorn! was a cavalryman, which seemed redundant. I guess he’s pictured on the cover https://www.amazon.com/Chucks-Unicorn-Tinglers-Chuck-Tingle-ebook/dp/B00STQS18A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1527560248&sr=8-2&keywords=chuck+tingle+unicorn

    Was unable to look for GSS worthy covers.

    Featuring : Magicats’asses

    I am surprised they didn’t go for the “tails/tales” pun, what with kitty’s tail right there busting out of the scrolly framey thing.

  15. A.R.Yngve Says:

    Note that Stephen King’s name is the same small size as the other author names listed on the cover! That’s remarkable whichever way you see it.
