1) This book contains a character named Gator Jazz.
2) What’s that thing superimposed on nipple-ring guy? I can’t quite make it out.
3) Is there a mismatch here between the cover and the target audience? The description implies that this is aimed at straight women, but the cover has a bit of a gay vibe to me.
Possibly. If it wasn’t for what looks like a bit of cloth on the right-hand third of the image, I’d say it was a mountain range. The left-hand ‘mountain’ might be a head with long hair, so it could be a woman or a dude with long hair. It’s too blurry to tell.
They should have made the guy on the bike monochrome to match the others. It would still be a bad cover, but at least it would be a little less jarring.

Are they sure this isn’t 5 separate covers they were designing at the same time for consistency? Did they forget to turn off their other layers?

As to #2, I’m seeing it as some guy’s back with a hint of buttocks. Could be wrong, though, but that’s what I’m seeing.

It’s a Lovecraftian Shoggoth with a nipple.
Ah, then that thing superimposed over it must be The Mountains of Madness.
Sometimes I think people are just trying to get on this site. What a train wreck this cover is.
Because NIPPLE RING!

I’m pretty much in the dark these days about female anatomy – but that nipple ring looks like it is on a woman’s breast to me.
And if so, that just makes this cover much more confusing.
