Dead Stuff With Big Teeth Comments: With this cover, it’s the little things. Such as ‘Her right hand has a weak grip on the handle.’ And ‘The bat on the pommel would make it hard to sheathe the blade.’ And ‘Goodness, is that MY face?’

“Sword of Omens – give me sight beyond sight!”

Is she playing peek-a-boo through the blade?
Or does the sword come with a built-in mini-eye-of-Sauron?

Is there anyone left who isn’t a “New York Times” bestselling author?

@RachelJ: sadly, me. Although my last effort was, on the day of release, the 37th most pre-ordered book on Amazon.
(I think that was just Amazon UK though).

The Mini-Eye-of-Sauron helps her to stay up to date with the cost of dying and the price of death. Yesterday they closed at -4.3%, trading at $1.73USD.

I once got teletext band of the month! yesssssss… don’t ask for my autograph all at once. Never put that on an album though. Maybe we should of… And for those who don’t know of teletext’s greatness:

I always thought the New york best seller was kinda like putting a quote from “Publishers Weekly” on your book. Is it a scam? Is it?

Snookie and Kim Kardashian are “New York Times” bestselling authors. The title means nothing.

NYT Bestselling Author is in fact a list from the New York Times, so it’s not a scam. However, I think that it is quite often a low bar to get on it if the publisher is willing to spend some money on ads and product placement. Consider that most books sell just 1000s of copies…

Oh look. She is wielding a gryphon hilted sword and gryphon is in the title. An ‘often unsurpassed imagination’ knows no bounds I guess.

I would like to give some props to this lingerie model (apparently still wearing said lingerie), as she takes time out from her busy photoshoot to kill demon-y type things……….who are probably misunderstood, broody and will fall in love with her.

You say that’s a sword. I believe it to be a pole, that extends several yards below and above the cover.

@RachelJ3—Apparently the co-author, Dianna Love, is not a NYT Best Selling Author, since the blurb would be plural if she were.
Don’t you think, in the interests of full disclosure, the blurb should read: “#1 NYT Best Selling Author Sherrilyn Kenyon and pitiful also-ran, currently trailing Tat Wood in overall sales, Dianna Love”?

@Si: was this on Planet Sound? That’s a bit of a coup if it was.

‘if dying is the cost… bring it’? really. a sergeant in the army once informed me’ It’s not your job to die for your country, it’s your job to make the other guy die for HIS country’. i think killing, rather than dying would be a more effective way of protecting the ones you love. unless you plan to stun your enemies with your stupidity long enough for your loved ones to flee.

This is the broadsword equivalent of the brief fad for album-cover selfies https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151508920211367.1073741827.135390851366&type=3

@Fear. “Dying” in this case is probably followed by “coming back as a super -powerful vampire”. Or something along those lines.

The way she holds the sword, do you think she’ll sissyfight with it (rather than fence)…?
February 8th, 2014 at 7:23 am
@A.R.Yngve My guess is that she will use it to open large novelty envelopes.

“Her first test of strength was to hold The Sword Of Idiotic Design without cutting herself.”

@Tat Wood – Yes!! It was Planet Sound! 🙂
We nearly sold one album because of it! Nearly…
Thankfully we went on to bigger better things! We sold two to our local music shop!

@Si: Kudos.
I speak as a former Voider (AKA ‘Mr Waverley’)
February 11th, 2014 at 4:39 pm
@Tat Wood! – SWEEEEEET! Being an avid hater of most music magazines, I used to read it all the time, well… the times I could resist not playing bamboozle. Although never read though The Void much. You write in about anything interesting? 😀 Does it compare to the Good Show Sir comment section?
