I don’t claim that Lousy Book Covers is instrumental in all of these cases (I only know of a couple), but it still should be noted: All of these books have gotten new covers since they were originally noted here. Some of them really aren’t an improvement, but…
- Fireworks on the 4th (original here)
- Wolfen: Bloodlines (original here)
- Marblestone Mansion, Book 3 (original here)
- Her Accidental Angel (original here)
- All I Want For Christmas Is a Werewolf (original here)
- Beast of War (original here)
- The Poverty Cookbook For Beginners (original here)
- Hidden Objective (original here)
- Bullet Blues (original here)
- Legacy of Ghosts (original here)
- Darkin: A Journey East (original here)
- The SteelMaster of Indwallin (original here)
- Erotic Refugees (original here)
- A Hummen in Spiral Gorge (original here)
- Shieldbreaker: Road of the Sword (original here)
- City of Rogues (original here)
- Good Luck, Fatty?! (original here)
- Aphrodisiac (original here)
- Darkin: The Prophecy of the Key (original here)
- Lumberjack in Love (see original here) — It turns out this was meant as a parody, but author Penny Watson discovered (especially through this site) that a lot of people understood it as earnestly bad. Thus the change.
- Crystal Fire: Tales of the Crystal (original here)
- Sins of the Father (original here)
Some are still terrible and some look like actual book covers. Whoa!
I’m a book designer, and I have to admit, I pore through your titles with fear each time new ones are added. I would hope that mine never make your list.
I enjoy being the watchman on the tower.
“Pour” over. 😉
You can lead an author to a cover, but you can’t make them stop drawing their own.
All in all – some major improvements. Good job!
I see “wolfen Bloodlines” decided to steal art from the Van Helsing movie.
Kudos to Wolfy the Bloodlines: the old cover was tremendously bad, but on the other hand, “Scary” was spelled correctly…
