Cover Snark: Got Your Nose!


Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Thornhaven by Morgan Rice. A person's face - mostly eyes and some bangs. Their nose is covered by a thorny ring with an orange eye in the center.

From Elizabeth S: Why does the nose have a thorn ring and eyeball?

Sarah: I didn’t think that was thorns at first.

Amanda: Got your nose!

Sarah: Haaahaha

A Fresh Start at Polkerran Point by Cass Grafton. The cover looks like a watercolor painting of an ice cream truck in front of a beach. The script font strikes again!

Claudia: Not egregiously bad but I did read it as Pokémon Point:

Sarah: Nice dick ice cream on that truck there. Not suggestive or anything. Excellent choice of a pink ice cream on the top, perfect angle, no notes.

What happens at Pokemon or Polkeman point? Is the ice cream an indication?

Claudia: I can’t believe I didn’t see the…ice cream.

Playing Flirty by Shameez Patel. An illustrated cover of a man and woman in a living room. The woman is standing on a stack of books to meet the height of the man. She has billowing red pants tucked into brown boots. Behind them are shelves with various items like books, a witch hat, figurines, and plants.

Amanda: Not a full on snark, but I thought she had goat feet for a second.

Elyse: It looks like she’s pressing one of those triangle shaped rulers into his chest

Also is that a giant banana on the floor?

This cover reminds me of the puzzle in Highlights magazine where you find the hidden items.

Maya: The banana is the carrying case for Bananagrams!!

Carrie: What is she holding? I still can’t tell.

Sarah: I understand it’s a game that two can play but why are goat hooves and a stack of books for her to stand on involved?

Inferno by Luna Mason. A black and white photography cover of a man covered in tattoos that are hard to make out. There's one that fans out from the middle of his chest.

From Lisa: Not sure what happened with this dude’s tattoos, but the tiger on his stomach may be farting flowers? Also, are the tattoos covering a skin condition?

Sarah: Is it me or does he look like Jeremy Strong? Do the tattoos make sense dramaturgically?

Elyse: He looks like he has the fungus from The Last of Us.

Sneezy: This makes me feel a visceral disgust and squick and feels like an overt ploy to make me run screaming back to church.
