Bash

It doesn’t seem like a bad cover, until you read the description:

Ashley Roper, Gulf War combat veteran, is now a writer and tabloid publisher in Charleston, SC. The nearby Bay Area State Hospital (BASH) for the criminally insane, is offering up a rich variety of potentially juicy stories including an escaped murderer, a patient released by a jury, the violent death of a staff member, and illicit drugs finding their way through the barbed wire perimeter of BASH. 

Ash decides to investigate from the inside, but through a series of unforeseen circumstances, ends up trapped in the hospital as a patient. Ash’s headstrong wife and her lawyer buddy, a roadside cafe owner, a sexy weather girl, a meth tweaking biker, a crooked cop, a homicide detective, and a variety of incompetent bureacrats cross paths in this engaging and dramatic adventure.

What a happy cover! So bright and cheerful! Is this a children’s book? 🙂

Wait, what?

Reading that description and seeing that cover all I can think is ‘This week, in a very special Archie.’

So . . . Nathan, what’s your point?

It certainly looks like it could, possibly, maybe, perhaps be an engaging and dramatic adventure.

My money is on . . . NO! Although the sexy weather girl is certainly enticing.

The elements of that fence are all wrong. The barbed wire coil is too small, or the fence is too short and the cells in the wire are too big. The proportions are all screwy. To me it seems about 3-feet high and the inmates can just boost each other over it. That or the tree’s ginormous. Speaking of the tree, the middle branch goes absolutely nowhere there in the upper right corner–ends in a wad of leaves.

Yeah, there’s trouble with this cover all right but it’s not at all connected with the trouble describe in the book!

I thought the illustration was a middle school, and it was a book of kids having a party.

Nothing about this cover even whispers mental hospital/asylum to me.

Hmm… is this book perhaps a comedy? Let’s read the description…
