The Bracken Anthology

Not just a poorly designed cover — a self-important, poorly designed cover!

This reminds me of some peoples’ computer desktops. Lousy photo(s) as the background image with lots of filenames on top. Screws up the image, hard to read the filenames. A double fail, IMHO.

Now we have an LBC imitating a lousy desktop. Unless it really is a screen snap of the author’s computer desktop, which is very sad.

Ugh! And Ugly, too.

Also, if it’s a single author, it’s a collection, not an anthology.

Is this a book cover or an album cover…I’m confused.

The author’s vision is a marina. I didn’t think they were that hard to find.

This cover is so far up it’s own butt it could perform it’s own rectal exam.

A dry-docked boat and sweaty guy face are always what I look for when trying to see past too many words on a cover. Grade A Mess.

When I read the title I thought that it was an allusion to a Fates Warning’s first album, but then I realized I’ve drank too much this evening. But my saving grace is that I’m not drunk on my own self-importance that I would combine “Brave New World” with “Alas, Babylon”.

Subtitled ‘Portrait Of The Author’s Vision’. I guess the author’s vision is a bevy of words scattered on the cover to a blinding effect and a significant focus on an arm. Is THAT the ‘Portrait’? This cover gives me such a headache I need another drink.

All that’s missing is the kitchen sink.

I wish he’d titled this, “Release the Bracken!!!”

Alas, even “Trapping Feral Pigs” sounds boring on this cover.
