I recognized that cover immediately – I read this as a kid. I associate it with a hospital room, but I’ll be damned if I can remember why I might have been there. Tonsils? I dunno.
Anyway, I don’t remember enough about the book to know how accurate the cover is. My gut tells me not very.

Back cover. Morts. Heh.

The blurb is just asking for fart-gags. But you have to admire a horse so enamoured of the film ‘Legend’ as to get a Tom Cruise tattoo.

“Blue horse?”
“No, we’re just friends.”

My spirit animal’s spirit animal is a guy with epic belches.

So much bad. Naked screaming twink with his junk artfully vanished. Rampant moose/horse/hornless unicorn. Generic cosmic background.

I have no junk, and I must scream.
Considering the back cover blurb Fred provided hasn’t increased my interest in actually reading the story within.

Wind Dancer? He looks more like a Wind Breaker. Amirite?

“Who stole my Unicorns! horn?”
“Forget your freakin’ horn, who stole my junk?”
“Must’ve been Aeolis.”
“Yeah, that guy blows, just ask Odysseus.”

He’s frustrated, when he said he wanted to be hung like a horse this isn’t what he meant.

Hmm. I can see why Ms. Meluch moved on to space opera (gonzo but pretty good).
Hold on there screaming wind dancers
Ghostly horses roam the spaceways
Maybe you should wear some sheets of linen?
You had an awful day today…
(sorry, Elton and Bernie)

A reminder of what wind dancers actually look like:

So the cover seems to imply that the blurb has already happened, and thus we’ve no need to read the book.
Not sure where star-horse enters into it, but maybe it was just prancing by Aeolis and was startled by the naked orbital twink, and who could blame it?

Is the guy naked because the wind blew all his clothes off? And you know it’s a 1980s text when even the horse is rocking a mullet.
April 21st, 2022 at 10:54 pm
Horse’s mullet is noted in the tags; dude might have one, but can’t tell from this angle.
Must be some heavy-duty gel or spray to keep all those mullets in place in the high winds and/or zero g.
