And you thought pigeon-poop was a problem.

I hope the book tells us how the goblin lost a finger.

I love the way the blurb-elf hands us the faux-folksie rubric ainted on glass in white lettering. There’s probably a gnome who does gothic-script for Anne McCaffrey pull-quotes.

Chuck Norris says, “Thy ren faire sucketh. I shall take my flying steed to Texas and start my own. Huzzah, mutha f**kas”

This is what happens when you can’t get over the fact Bruce Lee yanked out your chest hair.

It’s interesting how they made the “Questar fantasy” logo small and sideways. As if they were contractually obligated to put in on the cover, but hoped few people would notice.

That horse has way too much attitude.

@B. Chiclitz
Maybe it thinks that if throws off Norris on a book cover it will become a meme?

Worst. Orgy. Ever.

“Snow White and the Seven NPCs?”

What does “Wm.” stand for? “Written Mostly by?” “Writer Maniac?”
@Francis Boyle: yeah, horses tend to just let it drop anywhere, don’t they?

I see we have a “winged horse” tag, but I’d like to ask for “Pegasus!” to go with “Unicorns!” et al.
The girth on that saddle looks like it’s going to interfere with horsies’ wings.
The lettering is so odd, with that tiny “in” atop. Maybe it was supposed to say “Wm. MARK SIMMONS in THE NET OF DREAMS” and that’s Wm. doing his best Chuck impression?
And as always asked here — why “Wm.”? And why not “WM.” on this one?
Sleeping Beauty’s awake, there are at most 5 dwarves, and Chuck’s the GoH at the Texas RenFaire. I fear this is in fact an accurate illustration of the contents.
@Francis: GSS.
@Tat: well-spotted. I couldn’t even read the blurb with it just floating in air, so I guess the scroll-making gnome had the day off.
In conclusion — Wm. ?

AHA!
I have looked upon Mr. Simmons’ website, wherein I learned:
– he’s republished this series with generic fantasy covers
– he’s using his full name on the covers now
– like most of us, he can’t be bothered to blog

Alternate title from my daughter as we looked at this cover in the bookstore: “Snow White and the Seven Dorks”.

This one isn’t so bad but there are only five dwarves. For shame!

@Ryan: you are raising that child right. GSS!
@Tracy: Five dwarves (one BEHIND YOU) and a goblin. Maybe they were worried about Disney lawyers.

My son has been nagging me about that new Zelda game since November…
