Baffling Book Covers

by Avid Reader on April 11, 2008

Disclaimer or warning: Please do not take my bafflement to heart if you are the author or cover artist for the following books. My opinion is just that - an opinion - along with a healthy dose of bewilderment at the powers that be who deemed these covers worthy. Please note that I may be the only reader struck speechless at what has come upon my attention. Peace.

This cover just flat out baffles me. It’s not the worst cover I’ve ever seen but it does make an impression, don’t you agree? Don’t be afraid to click on the image to enlarge but I do warn you: object will apear much closer than you would like.

Intriguing. The heroine on the cover, or the one whose face we get to see looks like a 50 year old woman. From the back (if I am to assume that this is the same character) she looks much younger. However, I think this is supposed to be two characters. I think. Baffled. Again, click image to enlarge.

You know, I was looking through the Fictionwise catalog and came across these two titles. Besides the covers being horrible (major deal breaker for me), the synopsis weren’t all that hot either.
