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*)

Forgetting for a second how ridiculously bad the design is, I'm trying to figure out the photograph... So the lady has a blindfold and random ties around arms and neck. Let's say they're there for aesthetic reasons. I'm really curious about the appeal of feeding oneself when you can't see where the food is. It's just... Am I the only one not getting this? *sigh*

I just had the most amusing mental image of her completely missing her mouth and getting drippy stuff (blood? chocolate? who knows!) all over her nose.
