Wait – where is the title and author name? I checked and this really IS the entire cover! The description calls it “A fictionalized, true account…” Ummm, oxy? Meet moron.

For a moment I thought it was a Star Trek drawing. LOL
However Spock’s face is always stoic, so I guess not.
Maybe it’s Spock’s paranoid son armed with a lead pipe.
He’s one of the characters in the Star Trek version of Clue.
Of course not really but that would really be something wouldn’t it?
Oh, I’m sorry. I just realized Spock Jr. is actually holding a GUN (not a pipe like I thought).
That changes everything. Spock Jr. killed Colonel Galactic Mustard in the Enterprise’s kitchen with a gun. I don’t even watch Star Trek but if there was Star Trek clue I’d sure as Hell play it.
The art has some vague potential in a Picasso meets Dali sort of ultra amateur way. But overall this thing gives me the creeps and is the stuff of nightmares.
Without looking at the book’s details, I’m guessing this is about a boy who is bullied and takes up a gun for revenge? That’s the vibe I get from this cover and title. I find that vibe distasteful and scary.
Not just the bad art, but how it is badly done. It looks like somebody with completely different ideas about space and time is trying to draw a “normal” picture.
When I look closely, light casts shadows in different directions, the horizon line seems to be shifted about 45 degrees off horizontal, and the face looks like a flat, 2-dimensional mask hiding something terribly alien.
Of course, knowing that the alien that drew this was shooting for “normal” makes it even creepier.

That presumes you were liked in the first place.
Carrying a little toy rifle is not going to help.

These two should hang out.
The whole cover creeps me out.
