Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Ghost by Jonathan Wright. A futuristic city in the background. Two figures are in the foreground and are 3D models like what you'd see in Second Life. One is a woman with brown skin in a black latex suit. Her hair is closely shaved to her head and is silver in color. The man has white skin and has one arm behind his head. He has a very pronounced widows peak and has on leather pants, a deep cut sleeveless shirt, and gauntlets. His nose is red, making him look like he has a cold.

From Syntha: This dude’s face.

Sarah: He looks so…bored?

How is he both creepy AND bored?

Elyse: What is the situation with his hair? Is it glowing?

Sarah: So many people wanted Instagram filter faces, and now the trend has moved into Photoshop Outer Glow Hair.

Geis of the Gargoyle by Piers Anthony. An illustrated cover. A man in front has a hooved and goat-like grey feet like a gargoyle. A yellow light swirls around its body to reveal the top half of a woman in a long white robe. He has long sandy hair and a beard. He looks disgusted and frightened. He appears to be a on a beach with mountains across the water. A man in brown pants and a blue button-down shirt is casting the yellow light around the half-gargoyle figure. There's also a woman in a purple dress, twirling her hair and looking up at the sky.

Amanda: I’m full on guffawing at 8am.

Sarah: Omg that guy’s face

Amanda: I know!

His bottom half is a gargoyle and I’m picturing this like a Beauty and the Beast transformation where he’s really disgusted and bummed out by his human form.

Elyse: Pulling magic out of Gargoyle Jesus’s butt

Sarah: “OH NO I’m like…That Guy”

Elyse: Reminds me of this.

Amanda: Elyse, thanks I hate it.

Free for Adventure by Viola Grace. A model of woman as if it were made in poser walks along a beach. She has on a white skirt and a purple bikini top. Butterflies surround her as a manta ray jumps from the waves behind her.

From Anonymous: I can’t get past the cover to read the blurb, so the why will remain forever a mystery.

Elyse: That ray is feeling itself though.

Sarah: Is Wine Mom Font the new Scriptina? I’m not sure I’m ready for that.

BE FREE RAY BE FREE

Her Holiday Heartthrobs by Lisa Cullen. A man and woman with dark hair stand close together. Both are dressed in white. Two other men, scruffy and also dress in white, gaze down upon them from the upper half of the cover.

From MegCat: It might be just in the thumbnail for this cover, but the guy in the top left looks like he’s already seen what everybody else is staring at and it’s horrified him.

Amanda: Personally, I want less people around me during the holidays. Not more. Also the top right man has Hugh Jackman vibes.

Elyse: love that the guy in the upper left is oblivious and is just like “want to see my favorite nipple?”

Sarah: Top Right Hugh is so DONE with all these people, and clearly wants to leave the holiday party and go put on his sweats, shove his hand down his pants, and watch tv. Top Left Hair Dude looks like he forgot how buttons work?

All of them have Soap Opera hair, too, so you know the product selection in their bathroom is exceptional.
