Plot twist: that’s not a girl. If I understood the blurb correctly, there are three gay men that form a love triangle, and two more that contemplate forming a love triangle. To quote the blurb: Five men contemplate the question…How many in a life or a bedroom is too much?
I think it’s only three way, but still. I’m not sure how they would be split, though. I know first three make a triangle, and second two make a couple, I just don’t know who’s the third guy for the couple. One of the first three, or a sixth guy? It almost makes me want to read to find out, but I hate it when an author doesn’t put a comma before calling someone by name (“Lets eat grandma.”), which makes reading it out of the question.
So, it’s a person? Not a species of bird or, I don’t know, an airplane? That’s one mystery solved. Now if we could solve an even greater mystery of how anyone can think this is a passable book cover.
True, true. But if we start using that one as a measure, this site is going to get a lot less updates, because it’s not easy to find a cover that is that bad ;D
Yeah WTF, that cover’s about a squillion times better. About 98% of the reviews rated it down a star because of having to see the nasty old cover on their shelf, it seems like they’d want to prevent that more. :/
The good one has a different publisher. Unless the publisher simply rebranded, I would guess the author moved to a new house that makes better covers. Most of his covers published by Torquere Press are rather underwhelming.

What is a Mooney? Is that the giant transparent creature in the background?
Well, Catie:
It seems that there’s a big bad Mooney, a less bad Mooney, and a girl, mooning over…well, somebody.
This cover amply demonstrates the issues surrounding green covers. All too clearly.

Geeeeze. A 5-way? (I have some thoughts that I won’t spill here, as they would be HIGHLY inappropriate for a family-friendly website.)
That dude looks like a girl. Period.

I think it’s the Sean Penn impersonator in the front

To be fair this isn’t eye-burningly bad
I don’t think anything could be as bad as Flesheaters

Yeah, it’s not fair to measure anything by Flesheaters, that’s about the base of the barrel.
Although this one comes pretty close:

Submit it. There’s a submit button at the top 😀
I did. I don’t know if he’s seen it yet though
You’ll get a reply 🙂
The worst part of that cover is it’s supposed to be erotica.
O_O
Interesting, there’s also an edition with much better cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25748332-marked . Don’t know why they don’t remove the lousy one.

Marvin K Mooney will you please go now!
Been a long time since I thought of that book–thank you!
