   With 101 stories to fill, the baby’s one of the authors, right?

   Thanos would like this cover. The words are symmetrically balanced. Glad I wasn’t the poor bastard who had to figure that one out.

   Twist: all the stories are about uses for a dead cat: in space.

   One of the stories must be “Goodnight Moon”.

   The Elmer Fudd origin story we’ve all been waiting for these long years.

   It’s an alternate movie poster for ‘Children of Men’.

   So that’s where they come from.

   Isn’t Waugh-Waugh the noise the baby makes?

   Murky murk, indeed. Nothing says “Science Fiction” like baby-shit brown.

    Inspired by previous posts:

    “Gol-durn it, I’ve told you space babies to stay out of my back 40! Now git and take yer luminous star-stuff with you, or I’ll warm your ass with with my atomic squirrelin’ rifle!”

    Gotta agree with @Francis Boyle: that is one B-horror movie murky cover.

    A whole bunch of reprints, with a guy in a pith helmet going after the Starchild from 2001, who has you-know-what all over the cover.

    Yeah, that doesn’t scream “great sci fi” to me either.

    @GSS xn: To be fair, the cover doesn’t say they’re great sci-fi stories, it just says there’s 101 of them.

    @THX: Good point. “Here’s a bunch of stories… we couldn’t be bothered to get decent cover art. But hey, 101! Such a deal! You’re bound to like one or two of them!”

    I feel like I need a torch to see this cover. It’s so dark!
