Better Book Cover: Stooge edition

Book

Finally getting a decent cover for Her Broken Dragon short. Decided to mirror the cover from Taming My Wolf, esp since they are (theoretically) part of a series.

Thanks to @ljwrites for the alt descriptions!

The left side of a book cover against a gradated green background features the right half of a green-scaled, horned dragon face in frontal view. The mouth is slightly open, revealing a fang and rows of sharp teeth. The right side of the cover reads "by Jess Mahler" at the top and at the bottom, "Her Broken Dragon."A gradated lavender book cover with a similar composition as the dragon cover. The left side features the right half of a wolf's face in frontal view. The wolf's mouth is closed and it looks straight ahead at the viewer. At the top right is the byline, "by Jess Mahler" and at the bottom right is the title, "Taming my Wolf."

A pretty quick ride, but there was a stutter in the beginning when two bodies are found and the innocent party doesn’t immediately call the cops. Why would you NOT call the cops if you found two bodies cut to pieces?

In this story it’s justified by saying the person who found them needed to let her friend know her parents had been murdered before calling the cops.

But then cops show up and she realizes that SHE’S going to be a suspect and that’s what makes the whole rest of the story happen.

That said, it was a fun, fast ride and it had the highest body count I’ve found so far (4), but they’re also explained away by the end so did they really count?

So, I’ve read more than a couple Fear Street books now and this one?

This one’s my favorite.

I’m a sucker for imposter stories (probably from watching The Hand That Rocks the Cradle at too young of an age) and this story is definitely that.

But it’s also FAST and exciting. Spooky and actually kinda logical - a huge ask for Stine.

This was a true pleasure to read.

What’s your favorite Fear Street book?

A man in a lab coat with a surprised expression on his face straddling the line between two worlds separate by a lightning strike. On the right is a peaceful yet grey world showing a seaside nuclear plant. On the left is a colourful world with lush nature, two strangely dressed characters standing near a tree as if to welcome the man into the new world.

Ho anche iniziato a lavorare un po' alla copertina del romanzo, ma così, giusto per rimandare ancora un po' la conclusione della storia... in realtà finché non ci sarà una copertina pare che il tutto non abbia molto senso più del dovuto.
Ed è anche un modo per evitare di pensare alle guerre che ci circondano.

Chi vivrà saprà.

Al momento non piacciono nemmeno a me. Sono molto ipercritico verso le copertine, non che col testo vada diversamente.

Happy to share the book cover of "Black Horizon" by Gareth Wood. I did the illustration, he did the graphic design. Fun project, any time I get to make starships is a good day :)

A 200m long starship in orbit over a planet.  Multiple explosions are happening along the hull.  "Black Horizon - The Commonwealth Cycle, Book One.  Gareth C Wood" is written on top.

I hate to throw up qualifiers but if you actually take the time to put yourself in the positions of these young women and really bask in the story rather than try to rush through it, this might be one of the spookiest Fear Street books of the lot.

It’s good.

Really good.

And you should read it.

But can we talk about this cover? Does this feel weird and kind of… I don’t know… icky to anyone else?

No? Just me?

I mean, there’s nothing misleading or disingenuous about this cover - I would actually say it does a good job portraying the sisters’ appearances. But the whole nightgowns and horror-stricken faces feels a little… I don’t know. Exploitative? Definitely SOMETHING. I just can’t put my finger on it.

What do you think?

Book called "A Practical Guide to Evil". There is no physical copy to buy, so i decided to make one for my self.

Unfortunately the gilding didn't go well, but i still like it 😁

I read Florida Roadkill and came away from it unsure of how I felt. It was funny at parts, not funny at others, entertaining here and there, and seemingly very random elsewhere.

I came away neutral.

So I figured I would read the next in the series and I think I developed an opinion:

Tim Dorsey is fine, but not for me. His stories are a little too random and the jokes are funny but often overshadowed by his critiquing of Florida (fair critiquing, mind you) which reminded me too often about how I don’t really like Florida in the first place.

It’s just not enjoyable enough to continue.

If that sounds harsh, well, I don’t know what to say. Florida is integral to the plot of these books.

And *I* have a lot of mixed feelings about Florida, having spent so much of my life there. It’s got some good to it, but there are too many snakes (literal and figurative), idiots, and assholes for me. I’m not saying there aren’t good people there but the bad ones shine so much it’s overwhelming.

I will say that one part that stuck with me was when the protagonist thought about how when you were a kid you’d bring out your cool stuff and just… LOOK at it and how cool it was.

Really brought me back to my trading card days when I would try to assemble all the clear cards from the Spider-Man set.

One day! One day they’ll all be mine! I just need the rest of the clear cards and I think there’s two hologram cards and that will be it!

I think I’ve reached the point where I’m beginning to look beyond Stine’s penchant for characters who don’t use much (if any) logic or rational thought.

It’s best to just… give in and go with the flow. It makes the story way more enjoyable when I’m not getting hung up on why anyone would, I don’t know, start fires for funsies.

For instance.

And, once I got over that hurtle, I enjoyed the story as a whole.
