Nice ass.

Shreka. The female Shrek. Rather better looking than her male counterpart.

You wouldn’t want to be standing under that if it flew over.

It looks like her spurs were two foot long, and she broke one of them off.

So, is flying burro the only way to get through the castle’s front door?

Aren’t they cute!

@THX1138: not at all! The turds of a magic donkey don’t fall to the ground, they float around the sky. Look carefully at the image and you might be able to see them.

Spurs + riding crop + no saddle + long cape + long skirt + high altitude = SPLAT

At last! A fantasy trilogy set deep in hillbilly country!

If the donkey is some kind of political-party metaphor, its meaning eludes me somehow.

Imagine a whole century of flying-donkey Western movies…

Is it their speed which causes that radiation or are they just happy to be up there together?

It appears that the land that Castle Phallus was built on has suffered from some serious erosion recently. Hope they got some rope ladders stocked away in them there towers.

Two mules for Sister Sarah? Forget that, one flying mule is enough!

Whats the difference between a published book and a vanity project? The former sounds entertaining to people not living inside the author’s head.

Hey, guys, note the tail. ‘Tis a mule, as Anti-Sceptic pointed out before me.
Which suddenly makes it all make sense… what, you mean it doesn’t? Oh.

I know when I’m trying to make something look like it’s flying, i compose it dead center and then put a glow around it.

It’s is one of my personal favorite bad covers. So sad.

@Jerk: you’ll notice that the University of Arkansas is so embarrassed that they’ve taken the Web page down.

I find the word ‘trilogy’ here confusing since this is clearly one book. Or perhaps it is the title of a single book which is in fact ABOUT a trilogy of books.
I know that sounds thrilling to me!

@TN: The trilogy isn’t “Suzette”, “Haden” and “Elgin”, is it?
July 18th, 2017 at 3:18 am
I feel like all the sadness in the world is on this cover.
July 18th, 2017 at 4:16 am
@JuanPaul—I agree. Even her name has a mournful tone to it, like she once had an Elgin (which I think was something like a Unicorns!) but lost it and has to ride this burro for all eternity. Sigh.
There’s only one way to cheer ourselves up—a Village People concert and a pool party!

1.) Find fellow nerds.
2.) Bet them they can’t guess which SF&F series you have in mind.
3.) “Hint: it’s set in space and prominently features a mule…”
4.) Profit.
(Note: this book takes place on Planet Ozark, so yes, it’s in space.)
