I know the wolf is supposed to be howling, but I can’t help thinking that it’s about to catch that red ball and demand some play time.
Either that, or it’s about to take a bite out of Lisa Goldstein.

If this was a series there could be a plaid magician.

Harry and Megan will be annoyed when they see how Kate’s doctored their photo.

I member seeing this act in Las Vegas. The wolf moved on after getting a better agent.

“Everything is on fire, there is a levitational skull about, and a wolf wants his dinner. Now is not the time to give a demonstration of progress in juggling your shiny red balls, Chad!”

When hiring a wizard for your quest, always check their references.
“I thought you said you were a magician!”
“Yes I am – I do birthdays, bar mitzvahs, and school outings! “

“Okay, right now it looks like the woman is avoiding eye contact with a street busker. I better throw in some “magical” looking stuff – a floating skull, some flames (what, almost out of orange? Green it is is then!)…and now what do I do with that empty space in back? Wolves are cool. right?”

‘Hey, good lookin’, wanna come on over and take a look at my Big Red Magician? Hey, come on! … Bitch.’

And now for something completely different.

@Fred: From your article:
“… the red magician never appeared without a real face and makeup.”
Sound advice.

I would like to ask for Unicorns! being as the Unwin logo has such a prominent one up top. I know the Unicorn! isn’t part of the cover art, but c’mon, he’s the first thing you see.
Okay, previous cover we had a golem in the fires of whatever, and the magician had red robes as well as red hair. This one, he’s just a ginger in a suit, fallen from magick into juggling. His balls are red, but that might just be from the flames. The female was a frightened girl hiding; now she’s a serious woman who’s rightly unimpressed by the whole thing. And the Flamin’ Hot Golem has been replaced by a random skull and a wolf looking for two others to join on a kitchy t-shirt.
Quite the step down!
A check on Amazon shows it’s … a Holocaust story for tweens?!
@Tat: GSS!
@Bruce: That woman is never hiring this dork for a Ramadan party again.
@fred: I do appreciate your supplementary links; alas, as of this writing, their host is down. Perhaps it too is embarrassed — or overwhelmed with the more-than-one-request-per-month traffic GSS has sent.

“Dude, do you even cast?”

The Red-Faced Magician – no one is impressed with magicking up fire anymore, so he’s moonlighting at the circus.

Honest injun, and it’s rather good.

@Max: I see it won big awards.
I don’t think this cover best represents it; the lava golem and the hiding girl as seen here previously looks to have much more to do with the actual plot.

@GSS
IIRC, he does have a set of magic balls as one of the tools he uses to cast spells and the golem isn’t a very big factor in the plot.

@Max: I still maintain this is giving far fewer “Holocaust tween lead novel” vibes than the other.
March 18th, 2024 at 3:18 pm
@GSS
Don’t worry, the site has your back: this cover is definitely rated as being a bit worse than that one.

Somehow, this also involves unicorns.
