Think of your target audience, 15 year old boys and 39 year old single males still living with their parents. So that would be, a women with an unimaginable rack walks in space across….liquid alien gooey stuff….and then just throw in a red computer grid and some flying male/female symbols. Sorted! We’ve pretty much got a winner!
Thanks to Mairi! 🙂

I have to say, I had the pleasure of reading the back of this book. And from what I gather a bunch of lonely sci-fi guys got drunk and decided to write a collection of space love stories.
And from the inside… I don’t think any of them have been with a women.

Hey, this has got some Ian M Banks as well as some Kim Newman in it! Good haul!
That grid is really doing it for me though. Is there a complimentary BBC Basic programming guide included?

I see a copy of BIG WOMEN by Fay Weldon in the background. The woman on the cover is planet-sized.

I don’t think this is the proper use of the word “unearthly.” It’s like saying “unearthly spaceships”.

This 28 year old guy still living with his parents wanted to add this book in his to read list but reading the excerpt he found that the book was a collection of short stories and does not feature a kick-butt sexy woman lead. He was disappointed.

Pronounced out loud, this title could be very confusing.
“Excuse me, do you have Arrows of Eros?”
“Arrows of Arrows?”
“No, Eros.”
“Eros of Eros? Or Eros of Arrows?”
“You know what, I think I’ll just get it off Amazon.”

“That “arrow” of yours is not appropriate in space aerobic. Leave before I really hurt you with my finger.“

I prefer the anagrammed title:
EAR OF SORROWS

That looks like a mighty uncomfortable position to be standing in, what with the unrealistic spine contortion.

“Oi! My eyes are UP HERE!” the broken-spined, ridiculously-boobed space aerobics teacher pointed.
“Actually, we were just pondering the best way to prompt Tag Wizard to add ‘anatomical issues’. Also ‘booties’. Afraid you don’t qualify for Sir Mix.”
