Lots of creepy vibes, but I guess that pen name is supposed to calm such reactions. After all, if Vicki Officer is okay with weird man with huge legs practically engulfing the vulnerable pseudo girl, then we should all.. nah. Get rid of this cover!

Well, it does bring to mind a verse from a (rather politically incorrect) darkly humorous old song:
He put my present on the floor by the tree;
It was wrapped in paper green as clover.
He said to open it: it was mine; but I had to decline,
‘Cause to pick it up, I’d have to bend over.

Just had a look at the preview; you know how it says “Illustrated by Christina Cartwright” there under the author’s byline? Well “illustrated” means she rendered it: this is an entire book of (cheaply) rendered pictures featuring pseudohumans.
Truth in advertising, people; if the cover doesn’t scare you away, you must have a liking for cheaply rendered images of plastic humanoids who make Barbie and Ken dolls and their accessories look more realistic and lifelike in comparison!
And what else gives AI a bad name?

It would give me the ick, except that the “little girl” looks like the creepiest ventriloquist dummy that I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I’m more worried for the big man, unfortunately-posed pseudohuman that he is, than I am for the Granddaughter of Chucky there.
