Presumably the book is unfinished if the author was out of space and time.

It’s far more disturbing if you imagine the creepy head and the dangling legs two parts of the same person
February 6th, 2013 at 11:42 am
That fella’s going to bang his head.
If H.P Lovecraft said that about me, I’d smack him one, the cheeky sod.

I’m afraid I can’t find anything to criticise about the cover. Whenever I do shadow puppets, swirly blue lines follow the path of my fingertips.

So the guy being… lowered… into the pit? Is he standing on something? If not his fore-arm strength must be impressive.
He’s thinking to himself, “Of all the days to forget my pants…”

@Ewan: Sheer daemonic strangeness is a highly underrated character trait. Guaranteed to increase your followers on Twitter. Put that in your Facebook profile and see your friends increase. Also removes pesky stains and unwelcome odors.
as for the outwork, to quote ‘Blue Velvet’ and PWEI…”Pretty pretty..”

That guy really needs to pluck his one unruly long blue eyebrow hair.

If you added “over the top batshit crazy” to the Lovecraft quote it still would be lacking as a description of CAS’s writings.

The guy in the cloak is just messing with you. The image in the middle is actually printed on the cloak. It’s just been magnified.

Sex education class, lesson 1: Drop your pants. Look down. If necessary, take off your blindfold.
February 7th, 2013 at 1:47 pm
Or is it creepier if the dangling legs are part of the blindfolded guy; he’s being lowered through an infinite series of portals connecting ceiling to floor ?
…. Was it just me that thought that?
February 7th, 2013 at 4:41 pm
@Ekwavikes – that’s actually the first thing that I thought as well…then my perspective shifted and it looked like the legs belonged to the skeleton guy there. A little disproportioned, but a lot funnier than the alternative 😉
February 7th, 2013 at 5:30 pm
I also thought it was some sort of portal from floor to ceiling and the legs were of the guy being lowered in the hole. I guess it’s most likely a whole string of people being lowered into Hell or some such, but more fun to imagine other possibilities!
February 9th, 2013 at 7:44 pm
Ekwavikes, I thought that too!
The daemonically strange skeleton-guy seems to be writing “ogle” in the air.
February 9th, 2013 at 7:51 pm
If you can read Arabic, the ghoul-wizard dude is writing a very dirty word in the air.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:33 pm
@ Robbie #15: At first glance I thought he was writing “He”… in an unnecessarily ornate mess of curlicues.

“Klarkash-Ton” Smith (as H.P.L.had dubbed him), the master of awkward names: Xiccarph, Avoosl Wuthoqquan, Xeethra, Sfanomoe… A self-taught genius!

In a parallel universe, Michael Jackson lived to be 90 years old.
(Too soon?)

@AR: did he run out of time? Or space?
June 3rd, 2015 at 10:03 am
@DSWBT: I don’t think he had the time or space to write all Tales of the Crypt episodes there. That’s the reason it is volume 1.

Out of Time and Space. And Meaning?
No “Rocky Horror Picture Show” fans, then?
I’ll get me hat….

The Lich Queen restocks her sex dungeon with pantsless young men.

It’s a medley: Out of Space was a 1992 Prodigy single based on a sample of that song by Max Romeo about an iron shirt; Time was that David Bowie song about wanking and Quaaludes.

@Greg M (10)—I thought it was an x-ray of his stomach and intestinal tract, showing the digestive havoc caused by his exclusive diet of pantsless boys.

Meanwhile, the mythological creatures have stopped marrying us and are going after each other, in The Mermaid Conspiracy Part Whatever:

I am picturing this cover as an endless animated loop. The pantless young man is lowered into the hole. He bangs his head on the side of the hole and then straightens up, saying “ow.” And the loop continues … bang, “ow,” bang, “ow,” bang, “ow …”

@GSS ex-noob: I’m not really seeing this as a problem. Would Watership Down be improved by a human-rabbit romance?
