Okay. It’s not text, but I still think an “On the Nose” might be appropriate here.
And yes, that is the kindest thing I can find to say about this trainwreck of a cover.
It’s always awkward when you see someone with a tank dripping out of his nose. Offering him a tissue in that case seems woefully inadequate.
Talk about blowing your nose.
Is that…I mean, is it me? Who thinks that someone looks at that cover, clearly implying or meant to imply “men’s action adventure” and thinks, “oh, yew betcha, that’ll be a wonderful cover for a romance novel, eh?”
?????
…the author’s vanity press? 😉
edited to add: the Arbor House (est. 2011) vanity press uses a different logo to the one on her books, making me think “Arbor House” is her “let’s pretend I’m not self-published” schtick, so the answer to your question would be: The author!
“My eyes are down here!”
My favorite part of this cover is the way that the two guys on top of his head have their arms dangling down around his skull, making them look like they’re part of a crown in some bizarre Biblical epic.
