Best pic we could manage of me with the big poster of "Dancing" where the title showed. Thanks to everyone who made it #22 on the e-book list!

Another awful picture. Look at that eye in relation to the rest of the face. The nose is angled downward so that viewer is seeing the face from above, and the shape and angle of the eyebrow follows suit. Yet the eye has been positioned as if the face is directly 'facing' the viewer. Look where the eyebrow passes right over the eyelid, the brow should be covering up more of the upper eyelid and the angle of the eyebrow does not match the angle of the eye. The face also tilts slightly to the viewer's left, while the eye is set straight ( ... )

I'm glad you're able to explain to me why I don't like this cover. Every time I'd look at it, all I'd come up with is, "Mutant Creature From The Purple Lagoon" and shudder. Which isn't very helpful, I grant you.

No problem, these covers are just horrendous. Just a lot of re-tooling of stock photos in photo-shop with cut and paste; absolutely the minimum amount of work and effort was put into this and it's very clear that this was all slapped together shoddily at the last minute...so in that way it kinda does fulfill its purpose by accurately portraying what you will find when you read the book.

Maybe the designer was on to something here - she/he read the novella and designed accordingly: a lot of darkiness with little sense, author's massive ego towering over bits and pieces of the series' former glory. The title is tiny because it's inconsequential in the end. Distorted face reflects the characters and their twisted morality...

Yeah, if you hold it at a certain angle, the picture becomes clearXD

That is EXACTLY what I look like after my clay mask starts to dry and flake off my face, and I am staring into the mirror wondering if its worth this much trouble.
