Did you leave out the Amazon link on purpose? I just looked at the reviews. One says “Do judge the book by its cover”…ouch!
Alternative title: Earth Girlz With Muffin Tops and The Alien Warriors They Love
No, it must have been a subconscious coping mechanism. Fixed now.
Looks like they grafted the head from a painting of Richard III (or some other male portrait from the 15th century) onto a Baroness (GI Joe villain) action figure. The mind boggles at thinking that someone looked at this and said “this looks good enough.”
So what’s Mr. Nice Personality going to do next? Whip the woman manacled to the stone wall, or behead her? IMWTK!
Oh, and a good job blacking out her butt, too.
Last, what is the damn title about, anyway?
From the looks of things, her name is Rue and she’s getting harvested.
What really irritates me about these Photoshop rapes is that nothing has a shadow. In this case, the aliens must have harvested it. But, I’m actually more bothered by the fact that the author’s name is in black than the gastliness of the overall image, it really, really bothers me for some reason. I’m weird, I know.
In my world, even a good cover can disguise a bad book. But if the cover is this horrifically done, I won’t even give it a chance. It’s obvious the author is clueless.
Truly, a new level of awfulness has been achieved with this… this… abomination of a book cover.
This is an assault of the highest magnitude
on my mind and soul. I never want to see
this hideous cover again.
This looks like the sf sequel to the cinematic masterpiece, The Room.
