This is of such badness, it may even surpass Micah.

So, the cover art for Strange Candy is up.

............

Good GOD it's ugly. Who chose that sickly bile green? (And is the cover model...blonde? *squints* Why yes, it appears she is. Hello, new Mary Sue!)

And gee, thanks for including previously published stories, too. Because we totally need the opening chapter of Incubus Dreams in a third book. And that's not at all a giant middle finger to all the people who bought the supernatural anthologies strictly for Laurell's stories. (Not that I'm one of them, but I feel their pain.)

ETA: As if that's not enough, according to the page on amazon.com it's a mere 272 pages--less than Micah--and retails for $25 in hardcover. (There's also a discussion entry by our very own Darla, whose profile is little more than a boot-licking paeon to her beloved mistress. "My favorite author is Laurell K. Hamilton. I am Laurell Hamilton's assistant." *HEADDESK*)

...and she wonders why people think her books are all about sex? Oy.

This is sad. Almost worse than the 3 or 4 different styles of reprints. Maybe she's not the one gouging the fans, but if she cares about her fans like she claims to, why doesn't she talk to her publishers? She makes them money; they'd be inclined to listen.
