If The Count from Sesame Street were on this cover it would be infinitely more interesting.

I came here expecting the Ross Richdale Gallery of Horrors. I guess Nathan couldn’t take it any more.
Anyhow, I have to admit that Ross, but especially this site, has inspired me. I’m going to write an e-book (How hard can it be?), just so I can create a cover so confusing, so hideous, so perfectly bad, that Nathan will have to take a week off after seeing it.
I do this not just for me, but for all of us. I think Ross Richdale broke something inside me.
This is how the book starts:
“Have you ever heard the expression “Once in a blue moon”? Well, that expression exists because a blue moon is a rare event. There are actually two definitions for a blue moon. One, two full moons in one month, which is not a correct definition, and two, the 4th full moon in a season. Most years there are only 3 full moons in each season during all 4 seasons giving us 12 moons in a year. ”
Yeah, I know–I’m spreading quotes all over this site. But I can’t help it! The insides are as funny as the outsides. I’m almost tempted to buy this for the comedy.

And the cover makes me think of The Count from Sesame Street.
1 Lousy Cover…ahahah
2 – 2 Lousy Covers!

Bah. DO YOUR WORST.
Apparently Ross Richdale is a plumber too, according to Google. I hope he fixes tap washers better than he makes his covers.
Can you make the writing inside the book just as crappy too?!
What fun! Making the lamest book you can ON PURPOSE!!
Joan Wilder??? REALLY? Doesn’t anyone remember Kathleen Turner’s character in “Romancing the Stone”?
Heeeey, I thought that name looked familiar.
Well, I guess the author did!

It’s certainly no “Call me Ishmael” or “A screaming comes across the sky.”
Nothing says ‘erotic vampire romance’ like an obscure astronomy lecture ;^)
She’s so proud of her work that she wrote her initials in blood on the victims chest with that thingy on her finger.
It reminds me of the W from one of those testosterone fueled wrestling channels.
Joan Wilder? *The* Joan Wilder? I read your books!!
How bad did it hurt to ram that blue rock inside of the vamp’s head?
Is that nippleage?
