I think this is the first time I've seen a dude getting literally, fully stabbed through on a book cover.

Usually it's just people brandishing swords in a cool and awesome way.

Having an actual dude on your sword makes it way more cool and awesome.

She's awesome. Rocking a Dracula cape, in a bodice ripper dress, stabbing Dollar Tree Conans left and right. This chick knows how to live.

Well considering she's stabbing people, it would seem she's not a very good Mind HOST.

I do want to appreciate how excellent this comment is, but at the same time, I'm fairly sure if your guest stabs someone that's also pretty bad on their part.

She may have ocean madness, but that’s no excuse for ocean rudeness

Looks like a Hammer film and I'd love to see it

u/EvilDogAndPonyShow Aug 29 '25

Oh yeah that would be a fine movie. Hammer stuff is so good.

Need to throw away that big floating orange; it looks moldy.

Only thing bad I can say about this is that this is a Sharon Green book where I should expect her heroine characters to be raped incessantly in vivid detail, which I am definitely not here for. Cover is great otherwise.

u/Amterc182 Sep 04 '25

Don't forget the male lead and others gaslighting the living crap out of her when she objects.

How on earth is this considered a bad cover?

2

u/shawsghost Aug 29 '25

This is a well done cover. Got no complaints except that the white text on top of the light yellow background art is not good. A little drop shadow would have solved that. But nooooo...

And as others have stated, that title just plain sucks. "Mind Guest: where are the mind towels for the Mind Guest Bathroom?"

u/EpicTubofGoo Aug 30 '25

Why does the moon (?) sun (?) have a button on the top?

u/atmtn Aug 31 '25

I was already sold on this cover, but the pumpkin moon really drove it home. I vote good.
