Given that Xist seems to not care about their public domain freebiesclassics line, I have to wonder if there’s just some photoshop and clipart artists on an assembly line somewhere, churning out random and bizarre covers for Xist.
I imagine they are kept in the same mid atlantic tramp steamer as those book reviewers, all held hostage and forced either to churn out book covers and reviews or to become shark chum.
I’d opt for coloring after I get over my dismay that Lovecraft would be treated this way.

AS I recall, the cover for the 1960’s release of 100 salvaged copies of the unpublished Recluse Press 1928 version had the original Vigil Finlay drawing for the Weird Tales printing.
Now as for this cover, let me see, summoning a proper critic, oh, when the Sun is in the fifth house and Saturn in the third, with the rites howled and the sacrifices properly offered in their seasons, let Yog Sothoth appear to render judgement….

I want to know is that a mannequin in the window waving hello, or a really deformed shoe.
It is the ghost of a really deformed shoe hiding from Imelda Marcos.

Oh, I forgot my PosRein: this time they include the author’s name AND get the title correct! (The Xist cover for Zane Grey’s “Riders of the Purlple Sage” was a real atrocity.)
