Epublishing is the new, reader-centric slush pile. And I do mean slush!
Question: If the protagonist is a guy, why are there TWO male “heads” and why is the chick’s head front and center? And did the two guys give her hickies? Is that why she’s hiding her neck with her hands? IMWTK!
Thank GOD for Kindle’s “Look Inside The Book” feature – it saves those of us who do so from buying crap.
ANY author who puts an amateur cover on their books cannot be trusted to know ANYTHING about writing/publishing. PERIOD.

Hey, I just got an email from BookBub. Right now, the book is FREE on Amazon. WTH, I downloaded it so I can read it at leisure and think up more snark. 🙂
The designer’s ignorance of physics makes this girl look as if she’s sitting inside a trench, or a shallow grave.

The worst thing about this cover is that the designer actually *tried* — you know, with the grass “growing” in front of the faces. If he/she hadn’t tried, it might not have been quite so awful.

For some reason I look at this and think: “Live action representation of outtakes from the Beatles’ ‘Yellow Submarine’.”
And the sun comes from EVERYWHERE! Even up from the GRASS!!!
Which one is Colin and which one is Preston? Oh, wait. That’s ONE name with TWO equally weighted male photos on the front.
Yeah. Great idea. O_o
It didn’t look so bad until I scrolled down past the first pair of heads.
Oh my gosh, yes. I’m still cracking up as I post this. I had the very same thought. “Looks like a crappy teen movie poster OH WHAT NOW”
This just scares me.

Is this a comedy? I hope it’s a comedy.
It’s not a comedy.
Enjoyed the two hour delay between those comments, Ebony. Hope you didn’t spend all that time reading this garbage.
I know this site is all about terrible artwork but I can’t help looking at the samples for these books. They’re uniformly awful.
There is a reason these people publish ebooks rather than getting a print deal.

In comedy, timing is everything 🙂
