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: 3.30 out of 10)

    And now I think I’m embarrassed that I was actually disappointed that it was not death with the boobs.

    Bat ram?

    @FB: I thought the same thing before the unveiling.

    It’s like when dustbin drivers tie teddy-bears to the front of their Dennises.

    What does he do when Red Nose Day comes around?

    A lot of customers bought this in good faith, hoping for a sexy TANITH Lee novel, and were disappointed to find it was just a frickin’ Jack Shackleford potboiler.

    @ARY: reminds me of the EP titled “U2” by the band Negativland:

    And I beheld Death and he cometh on a… ram with bat wings? Carrying a naked chick who was dead, considering her upper back and neck shouldn’t be at that angle…

    And LO, I decided to read a different book, AMEN..

    @ARY: Definitely bait and switch.

    @Leak: good link!

    @Tor: Not just Tanifh, but since it’s in lower case, it would be that i with no dot that they have in Turkish. Kind of schwa-ish.

    More like “TanÉ™fh”.

    Which would make as much sense as everything else on this cover.

    Consider the words of Mick Farren…
    Read all about it
    Shock horror!
    Have you seen the boobs…

    Am I the only one who’s noticed the very phallic body part on the sheep’s nose and where it is pointing?

    @Tracy: I’m sure that was intentional. (Beavis and Butthead) It’s horny heh-heh.

    @fred: More like “Sarnafh” in this font.

    You know those times when you really want to tell the backseat driver to shut up? This is not that time.

    Also maybe watch where you’re driving. And put on a shirt.

    @Francis Boyle. Ah, in that case, Piers Anthony’s ‘Vision of Tarot’ is the thing for a discerning gentleman such as yourself. Click on the ‘Death’ tag and go to page 2.

    I was getting deja vous with this one, and here’s why:

    Again, honey, whether its the flyin’ goat or that cantering cat, keep yer eyes on the road (and fer Pete’s sake already, put on a shirt).
