Is this a picture of a sniper murdering a baby? Please tell me someone did not intentionally make a cover of a sniper murdering a baby.

I’m pretty sure it’s always open season on babies from Hell, though.

Nah, even babies from Hell have that cute, harmless appearance. That cover is really appalling.

It’s amazing, isn’t it? I keep trying to figure out any way this could have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it’s a sniper murdering a baby!

A close exam shows that there is no bolt in the action of the rifle. One of those safety locks (like a bicycle lock) runs through the empty receiver.

So whether the one in the crosshairs is one of the “marauding aliens”, one of Ketty’s “rag tag band of survivors” of the alien invasion, or Ketty’s “one true love” the “screwed up bot” Boondock, no one is in real danger on the cover, just us looking at it.

This is still one of the most disturbing covers ever at LBC.*

*(and that includes the covers false-flagging incest (Love Thy Sister (Mina’s First Adventure) and Sister Audrey (A Brothers Best Friend) or The Erect Oak about extreme tree-hugging)

¿This is categorized at Amazon under Children’s Books, Children’s eBooks, Teen & Young Adults? ¿!? Holy Sqnkl!
Self pub authors really ought to get an honest critic to vet their covers before they hit “publish”.

The sniper looks like he’s just a small boy as well.
This is the danger of subdivision — it leads little children to murder each other.
Or is this cover just the product of a really sick mind?

I tried reading the blurb, but it was worse than the cover. Something about robots.
