WTF is that thing on the left?

An ape makes for a mighty big parasite. Can’t wrap my head around how big the organism is he gets into.

Ugly. Fail.

That thing on the left? A Tapeworm, obviously. The parasite du jour.

I **gulp** went and read the book’s description. It seems the nasty Apes [sic] have swords where their arms should be or something. So I think it’s a sword.

**walks away scratching head and wishing she hadn’t read the description cos it reduced her IQ by 50 points**

Incompetent cover designers should be banned from using WordArt under ALL circumstances!!!

I guess the author’s name is ever so much more important than the title of the book. We must all have our proper priorities.

I tried so hard to stay away …

Has anyone here had a look at The Book Designer’s monthly cover comps? There are some gorgeous covers and some utterly clueless ones and … Well, it reminded me to come back and see whether you’d run out of material.

You will never run out of material.

I always look at those – and I’ve bought books specifically because the covers intrigued me enough to look for them. 🙂 The clueless ones? Better left unsaid. 😉

So this is Outbreak, the rip off book, the musical?!
I so want to read it now.

Disclaimer: Not actually a musical.

Nope. Won’t be reading THIS book. (Actually, why would I read ANY of the books on this site?). I’d have to be really REALLY bored.

I see it is “THE” parasite, does the emphasis give said parasite an ego boost?
