Doesn’t the bumper-to-bumper traffic jam at the upper end of the freeway/cover kind of slaughter the whole “Bat Out of Hell” concept? I second Viergacht’s idea–it coulda been a contender, with his concept.

On the plus side, I’m seeing a lot of old cars that I haven’t seen on the road in many years. Is that a Pontiac Fiero or Honda CRX in the far right lane?
I think OJ is in one of the Broncos. Was this manual in the seat next to him?

BOOH’s and Driving don’t mix. That may explain the backup.

I came here to look at lousy book covers and offer positivity. And I am fresh out of positivity. For an example of a BOOH (bat out of hell) that insert flitter rodent is pathetic road-kill.
30 May my son and DIL took me to see “Mad Max IV Fury Road” at the drive-in AND I re-watched my DVD of Robert Mitchum in “Thunder Road” the other night: a freeway traffic jam does not meet my expectation of BOOH driving.

If you have to define an acronym right on the cover, you’ve already started on the wrong foot.

Motorists are calling each other ‘BOOH’s these days? This is an actual THING?
BOOH’s = possessive Booh. Belonging to Booh, that cute little girl from Monsters Inc.
Now, it is highly irregular, but if you really want to show the plural “Bats” in Bats Out Of Hell, I suppose you could do this by writing the stupid acronym “BsOOH.”
Doesn’t really work though, does it. However, it may more
accurately reflect reality written this way: BS Ooh
This could have been really cute as a cartoon with a crazy-looking bat behind the wheel.
Agreed. Something in the style of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s Rat Fink hotrod cartoons only with a bat.
Exactly what I was picturing.
Try reading that at anything less than full size!
BONUS: Random clipart of a bat so we GET it. Bat.

Possibly a Fiero – Definitely not a CRX.

Satirical & Humorous? When was satire ever funny?
And do I need to add the ::snark:: tag here?
