An American Holocaust: The Story of Lataine’s Ring
That has got to be the feel-goodiest font I’ve ever seen the word “Holocaust” in.

Not only does it look like a romance novel but I had to go to the Amazon page to find out it was about the New Boston school explosion. It’s vaguely local to me so I’ve done a fair bit of reading on it so if I didn’t catch it talk about a miss.
Who’s sexy? I see no sexy.
I think that tag was actually supposed to go on The Cowboy a few posts back.
Ah. That makes more sense.
Pidge remarked the cover looked like a romance novel cover and it was confusing to me until I read the Amazon blurb. I would have preferred a false flag tag. I believe I read about the Texas accidental school explosion a few years back while researching a different (deliberate) ambush school bombing.
This tragedy does deserve a title font more suitable for obituary notices than the one used.

While the explosion was a tragedy, I find it difficult to equate three hundred dead to a Shoah of over six million dead. Technically the word “Holocaust” does have as part of it a greek word relating to fire, but maybe I am just a jerk.
Maybe, maybe not. The Texas tragedy was a lowercase holocaust (sacrifice by fire, annihilation of a group) in the classic pre-1942 sense. Today uppercase Holocaust needs to be used with some circumspection. A book cover is a book’s presentation to the world and needs first, second and third thoughts, and needs be viewed from all angles, before approval.
