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*)

Wow, on Darla's page she says "Will willing share my views on books I think deserve it. :)" which is great, but apparently she only reviews books that are 5 stars, and mainly LKH's at that. Is it just me, or does this border periously close to self-reviewing? After all LKH is basically providing her job, said job will of course vanish should the net from book sales and spin offs decrease. On the other hand, remarkable instinct for job preservation.

I love that she spells willingly wrong.
