Modified from this cover into today’s limited edition Glass and Amber cover. Any tag for this kind? Please recycle?

Remember, kids, joining a collective entity is rarely as much fun as you think!
The photo-bombing woman in front looks rather smug, like she’s thinking “unlike _some_ people, I sprayed with monster repellant this morning!”
@fred: does this book even _have_ tentacled abominations?

She be like, “Unspeakable abominations always pop up in your dankest basement, amirite?”

Brings new meaning to the word “polyamorous”.

“So, Mrs. Smith, this is what your little Bobby created when you gave him that can of Play-Doh™?”
“Yes, Doctor.”
“Well, I think we have a problem here.”

@JuanPaul: polyamorous, polymorphous, and perverted.

@fred: You’re correct — the artist recycled his own work and then slapped a space station and a not-very-accurate portrait of the author on this limited-run collection. (Seriously; I’ve met the woman more than once over the decades and I’d never have recognized her from this.)
@Bruce: AFAIK, no tentacled abominations in this work. I’ve read all these stories (in a later collection) and don’t recall any.
I am actually angry at this cover. Neither CJ nor the works therein deserve this much badness. And being as it was a special signed and numbered edition, it would have cost a lot.
As for me, I got all the fiction and more besides in a regular old paperback for cheap just a few years later.

“Yeah, it’s screwed up, but did you see what happened with the afterparty? phweeeeeww!

I am not sure that such an illustration is really worthy of being recycled onto a second cover.
Once was probably enough.

Never play twister near a teleporter.
