Another one that makes you wonder if the author has ever seen a book before.

At first glance, I thought it was an old Our Gang photo.

The typos don’t bode well for the contents of the book either.

Yeah, what with all that havoc being wrecked.

Evil children are evil? Actually, if it weren’t for the scanner issue, the drawn-over photo could make an interesting cover, depending tone of the story. It seems from the cover copy that it’s tongue-in-cheek. So start over with a better version of the photo, make it much larger so you don’t need as much background, and for heaven’s sake remove all the extraneous text! Plus a better font for the title and you might have a start on a non-ridiculous book cover.

I don’t know. These kids look pretty tame to me. Look how obediently they’re posing, hands held in front, shyly in the pockets… They’d have a hard time convincing me these kids are demons incarnate. Even if the best possible cover was made using this photo, I would still think the grownups in the book were jackasses who want kids be tied up to a chair and sit still until they’re 23.

Wait, What Catie? That has been working for me so far.

I just hate having to feed them.
