Are there are not eight seniors on this cover?

Unless she’s a trophy wife. Photo is too blurry to tell. 😉

The gal at the top just saw this cover for the first time.

The one at the top is well known to meme-followers, and not in a terribly dignified context:

Stolen image? Why am I not surprised?

I wonder why they flipped the image for the cover?

By the way, I suppose it’s possible that the actual model for the “Grandma Finds the Internet” meme really is one of the seniors featured, and it wasn’t just the result of a lazy image search. I wouldn’t count on it, but at least that could be interesting.

The sequel to Seven Samurai that no-one wanted to read.

The woman tied to the stake doesn’t look all that old.

May be a stock photo intended to be grandma Martha Morgan, a Western pioneer, I’m not too sure about that ID tho’ but there are hints in the Amazon listing.

Mother of god, is that supposed to be Joan of Arc? The only thing “senior” about her are those “senior moments” that she had when suffering from a psychotic break during her Manic periods.

This one is pretty awful, in innumerable ways, not the least of which are Jean D’arc and the Internet Grandma. EEEESSHSHSHSH.

Looks like Jack Adler’s hit on a winning cover art streak for his books.

Well, maybe not exactly “winning.”

The book sounds fascinating. But that cover? Um, yeah.
