We survived the Apocalypse, so we’re going to name our lakeside community the Zombie Colony. We’re not Zombies, we just like naming everything Zombie-this and Zombie-that. Like in the 80s, when everything was Cyber-this and Cyber-that. Cyber-, Cyber-, Cyber.
We picked this site, surrounded by water, because Zombies cannot swim. Unfortunately, they can’t breathe either, but they can walk.
Statue of Liberty giant zombie hand rises from the sea. Why? An homage to Planet of the Apes, perhaps? No, I think that’d be giving this too much credit.
I agree, Nathan, there was a good idea back there. The artwork is even not half-bad. I like the red vines/veins on the hand. But damn, that’s one big-a$$ hand in that lake/sea/body-of-water and where are the rest of the zombies? Or is the colony under the sea? We may never know.

I noticed there’re no ripples associated with the hand rising from the water, making me think the hand has no physical effect on the natural world. So it’s a ghost zombie? Could there be such a thing? Assuming zombies.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, sometimes the hardest covers to look at are the ones that come so close!

So close, and yet…
I look at this and I guess I’m supposed to be thinking about zombies, but instead I’m thinking about the physics of water, and how this cover is getting it all wrong. You could get away with this sort of thing in those wonderful old Gerry and Sylvia Anderson TV puppet shows, but for a presumably scary zombie novel, not so much. Unless of course this is *supposed* to be campy, in which case it’s not campy enough.
