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.
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..
@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.

So it has come to this: Space Sheep, meet Death Ram.

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

I CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND THE FASCINATION SCHOOLBOYS HAVE WITH THE DEATH OF GROUPIES

Godspeed to the chiropractor!

Bat ram?
(Dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah, dah-dah.)
@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?

@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.

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.

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).
