That “fade to black” makes it look like she is a “he” with a five o’clock shadow. Not even mentioning he/she’s terrible birth defect where 90% of he/she’s head never formed.
As for the giant wolf that’s as big as a grizzly or an elephant… well, it almost distracts me from the poor person with most of his/her head missing. Double fail on this cover.
I see a different sort of fail. I think the artist meant to flop the big-as-a-bear wolf head and line it up on top of the torso.
I would read a book about whatever kind of chimera that would produce. So long as the protaganist is called “Wolfie,” or better yet, “Wolfina! She-Bitch of the haunted forest.”
I find headless torso covers to be a turnoff. Why? Why? I am beginning to suspect that all these headless model covers are a subterfuge: if the models’ faces were shown, it would be obvious the art was stolen. There is no other excuse to me to not show the models’ faces.

A female headless torso for a change. This cover strikes a blow for equality!
Thank you for observing that. You have managed to explain my comment to me. I woke up in the middle of the night realizing that the Belgian Malinois on the TV show Person of Interest is named . . . Bear. Until then I did not have any idea why I connected the dots the way I did. (POI is/was one of the two TV shows I watch.)
You are most welcome. Belgians are fabulous dogs, in either of the two “flavors,” the Malinois or the Tervuren. (Softer coated black dogs; Tougher coat, traditional Shepherd coloring Sable and Tan/Black and Tan dogs). Amazing at obedience trials; incredibly smart; loyal…their only flaw is that they shed. a LOT! 🙂

Photobombing Sen. Bear.

I would so read that book.

LOL!
That’s a damn nice Belgian Malinois there, by golly. (Belgian Shepherd). Oh, wait–is he posing as a wolf for this cover?
I’m down with Naaman on these headless horseman covers.

Glad I was able to connect your dots!
