Buck & Billy Tales of the Weredeer
Actually, without reading the book, I don’t know if this is a bad cover; it might be a perfect representation of what to expect. I just wanted to inflict it on you. (h/t Penny)

Only appropriate response:
Rofling! My browser must be looking out for me:

That would make a better cover for this book than wot they got . . .
Diesel banana hammock. It’s all I see.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
Best laugh I’ve had all week. Most certainly a candidate for worst cover of the year.
WELL that will teach me to browse my RSS feed at work…
Chuck Tingle, call your office.
How could you do that to us, Nathan?!?
Haven’t you been paying attention? I’m a terrible human being.
Yes. Yes you are. Not only do I have to bleach my eyeballs, but I have to re-string my optic nerves, an excise the piece of my brain where that image is burned in to it. Good thing I took that crash course in brain surgery.
Nathan’s divine mission is to prepare us to survive the apocalypse by testing our mettle on a daily basis. This one is a little … harsh, but remember, that which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
Weredeer? Is that a misspelling of weirder?
Sadly, no.
Oh, there are tears in my eyes.
I don’t know if it is from laughing my ass off, or because my eyeballs have melted.
But so worth it.
Haw HAW Haw HAW Haw HAW Haw HAW Haw HAW Haw HAW Wha WHA Wha WHA Wha WHA Wha WHA Wha WHA WaaaaaaaAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!
Overall I would say that this is a very nice overall… package!
Perhaps if he was wearing overalls, it wouldn’t be so bad. Then again, perhaps it would.
Does anyone else see the alien face in his torso?
Good catch! That was a very well-camouflaged Nagilum.
I was awaiting Waffles’ take on this one; gay paranormal erotica being his genre, and all that–but honestly, I think that this is the most hysterical cover I’ve seen this year. It’s a freaking riot. What I really want, though, is the footage from the photo shoot. The video, I mean, outtakes and all. It must have been hilarious. Particularly packing all that wedding tackle into the jockstrap and the CHAPS. Oh, brother! I don’t know if this will sell, but…it outta. If for no other reason than the sheer bravado of it.
I agree – except for wanting to see that guy pack his wedding tackle anywhere.
I think I’ll make a life-size poster of this and put it up in my office at work.
I love how that is my expected genre! Completely true of course!
The straps, the underpants, the assless chaps, the horse bell collar – all of those things are probably store bought. But that antler hat thing… It is home made! Someone, somewhere saw a need for a custom antler hat and made it.
Did somebody make an antler hat specifically for this cover? Did they borrow it from a local restaurant that makes you wear an antler hat on your birthday while they sing a peppy birthday number? Is there a lady out there who is inspiring to be a real life Cruella de Vil and has made this and a hundred other animal hats?
That is what I want to know!
I actually called around, to my fellow eBook-making buddies (the Clan of the Cave Workers), and told them about THIS cover today. I think it is that worthy of Indy book esteem. I mean..it does everything a book cover ought; it causes INSTANT pause; it behooves the topic (yes, I went there and said it); it makes the reader or potential buyer, um, stand up and take notice. I’ll certainly never forget it. No, I’m not the target audience, but if I knew Waffles IRL, and he wasn’t hanging here, I’d tell him about it. (And, FWIW…I didn’t think that the excerpt was bad, either).
I dunno, Waffles…you might have some Popping Elfbutt competition there! 😀
It is certainly memorable. 😀
This is a torso cover, not a butt cover, so I think I’m still safely in elfbutt poppin’ territory!
Fun Fact: I finished my book layout and will be sending it away for a hard copy proof today! Then waiting, proofing, (pulling out my hair figuring out how to make my graphically complex book interior into an epub) and it will be published. Beginning of next month or so! I’m so excited.
If anyone has a Interactive pdf to fixed layout epub file converted I will buy you a cheeseburger to run it for me!
> This is a torso cover, not a butt cover
The thought of turning the book over flashed into mind briefly. Fortunately, turning an e-book over is not possible.
I think THAT would be hilarious, too. Were I the author, I’d definitely make that the lat page of the book. Buttcheeks and chaps. Oh, baby.
And do we all realize that not ONE person–nary one of our happy contributors here–managed to use “horny” in our comments? Speaking of “oh, the humanity!” We’re slipping, boys (and gals).
“Horny” is not a word that crossed my mind. o_O
No. But this did make me Antler pretty hard.
I figured your horn would be tooting.
I actually tweeted, FBed, etc., this one. It’s simply too hard for me to pass up such a pointedly dear cover. Hopefully, the author will earn a few bucks.
😉
I need to tweet this out too – I want this to have a permanent place on the Popular Posts log.

I don’t know about that neck of the woods, but wearing antlers (or a Wally World souvenir moose cap) on a stroll in the woods around here gets writ up as “suicide by deerhunter”. And wearing three point antlers during “four-point or better season” is no guarantee you won’t encounter a nearsighted hunter.
From an official review on Amazon:
Of all the names for a deer it had to be Buck. Stud muffin and of course hung. May I say the cover is a huge turn off and not how I pictured Buck at all. . . . Although the collar with one bell on it was fitting.
There you have it folks! Right from the deer’s mouth!
Yep, definitely one for whoever’s buying those Taken by the T-Rex-style erotica shorts.
My eight-year-old son walked in behind me just as I had this image up on my screen. If I could’ve photographed his face the moment he saw it, THAT would be my comment for this ‘masterpiece!’
Now honey, sometimes when a man and a deer love each other very much…
I just spewed water on my damn keyboard. LOLMAO!
I just cannot get enough of this book cover. I keep thinking of new targets, er, I mean friends, to send it to.
