Bibliomancer’s Art Direction: My name is Bibliomancer. I’m from 2015 in the future. I want a cover with a future-retro Amy Winehouse using a space music ghetto blaster to kill some dudes … and a satyr! Don’t make the art very good. I need it to win a ten-star rating on a website of terrible sci-fi cover art. Why are you looking at me like that?

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Lets not beat around the bush… though best not to show any of that… lets keep the randy teenagers guessing by covering her with… sperm shaped space ships! I think this is the cover this climax deserves.
