Uhmm… yipes? I… I don’t see a horn Mr, er, Ms Sarban? My what skinny little fingers you have Mr… uh, what are you? And why has your head sprung a leak? I do like your shiny red nails, er, claws? Ah what the hell! The only thing I know for sure is that this fails the bus test. Ewww and just… ewww.

Ah, The Sound of his Horn, a once classic now forgotten. Who’s to blame for that? 8 out of 10 readers say it’s Count Catula on the cover!

The Most Dangerous Game, but targeted at the furry audience.

He’s a real hep cat who grooves to the sound of that white hot jazz being played uptown.

There’s going to be sound alright if the crazed catwoman gets her claws near any man’s horn.

Oh my GOSH. This is so freakishly bizarre.
What depraved madman decided to capitalize the ‘s’ in ‘his’?!??

The book doesn’t give the artist’s name I’m afraid, but it does have an introduction by Kingsley Amis, which gives it a certain literary je ne sais quoi. It’s still about Nazis and cats though.

Has any font ever clashed so horribly with an image?

It’s a good thing Sarban never got into a fight with Christabel for Most Pretentious Single Name…

‘The sound of his horn.’ MROWRRR!

I tend to skip this one if it turns upas a random cover because it’s freakish and disturbing, but it seems that it’s appropriate to the book in every way—weird and disturbing and has semi-humanised cats—and that the book is actually good, at least if for you “good” and “nightmarish” are not mutually exclusive: http://www.trashfiction.co.uk/sound_of_his_horn.html.
Incidentally, “Sarban” was the pen-name of John William Wall, a British diplomat.

Who knew cats could get road rage? (I mean, rage itself, of course! But cats are usually too freaked out in a car in my experience to be angry). Maybe the sound of his horn drove the cat to apoplexy.
