*coughs* The artist is a Facebook friend of mine, and she was so proud of her work…
And I knew it was going to end up here, but didn’t have the heart to tell her.
The unreadable font is the authors choice, though.
I think this is one of the those examples of a cover that comes really, really close but doesn’t quite make it.
I think the concept of the art is very nice! I just wish that it had been perhaps given a little more polish. What works most against the cover is the typography.

Oh, dear. How awkward.

Agreed completely. It’s so close!
Red title and byline on a dark background disappears at internet ad/thumbnail size (the book is on Amazon).
Personally the art has a primitive 1960s Fillmore West poster appeal to me. I must nix the font and its color tho’.
