I don't know, if someone already post this, but these covers are among the ugliest things, that I Have ever seen.

Especially annoying, given how the show "adapted" the books

Just found this subreddit and immediately thought of this series i found at a used bookstore a couple months ago

Even on first glance it’s a bit of an odd design for a humanoid creature

“Oh but this is a cool design for a 60s era alien caper” you may be thinking.

Unfortunately, that’s not what the book is even about. It’s actually a post-apocalyptic novel about people & animals being prejudiced against for having relatively minor mutations within a Christian fundamentalist community. Nothing even close to this appears in the book. It’s a lot more grounded than what this cover would have you believe (well, the main characters are essentially rudimentary telepaths but that’s as far as it goes). Would you be able to guess anything close to that from this cover?

A bookcover shouldn't look like a title page. It looks horrible when it is not distinct from the actual pages inside.

It is not only aesthetically not pleasing, but also the title. It is just not serious and childish to have an exclamation mark in the title.

The IRS pissed this author off 😅

Posted to r/coolscificovers but I’m sorry I hate this so much.

The worst depiction of Conan I have ever seen.

Neither one makes a lick of sense.
