This cover makes me think that two people who always wanted to be published just went, “Hey, let’s throw all our stuff together into a book, even if they aren’t really super connected.”
Even the packaging of stories has to do with marketing. I mean, you might see a book with more than one author, but generally they are the same genre. Generally, the book is ‘split’ with two cover images on the front. Or, there’s the old trick of the back cover is the other story’s front cover upside down (You know, where the one half is upside down from the other? I have no idea what you call that.)
This just goes to show you: don’t let your potatoes play with switchblades, people. Bad things will happen.

A collection of shorts: Bermuda, cargo, boy shorts, running shorts, boxer, khakis, denim… does a skort count?

What did the potato do, exactly?

So why is there an impaled potato on the cover?
Somebody hates potatoes.
Suggested blurb: “A sadist’s love affair with all things tuber.”
WTF is this book about anyway? Never mind, I don’t really want to know… or care.
Death to the common taters!
