We’re always posting about the gorgeous covers we find online but tonight I saw a couple that just begged to be posted. Not because they were AMAZING but because they’re the opposite.
First up is this one. At first glance, I thought the guy was sitting on the toilet. On second glance, I thought he was taking himself in hand under that red scarf or blanket or what have you. I remember seeing this in the RT magazine months ago and it was still one I remembered when we were talking about awful covers on Twitter tonight.
Second cover, I saw this come through my GoodReads feed and at first I thought it was her shoulder that looked like that until Lillie said it wasn’t her shoulder, it was her boobage. She looks like she’s about to fall over from the weight of it. :X
Have any covers jumped out at you for the wrongness of it all? Share! đ

Oh my goodness! I about died from laughter!! I really thought he was “taking himself in hand”!!
I question the publisher. How did they think that looked good?
Yeah I agree! It didnt look good!!
That’s boob? There’s no way. Wtf? How the hell is she twisted? Poor girl is hugely flexible. Well, it must be nice for her bed partner(s).
And the guy from the first cover? He’s totally handling himself. *nods*
I wrote a post on MKR and a guest post at Lush Book Reviews a while back about WTF books and their covers… Pride & Penetration doesn’t have a WTF cover but it’s a take on Jane Austen and just… Holy shit. And if you’re looking for WTF covers – Curse of the Wizard’s Guild has TWO! I have plenty more but I’m on my phone and they’re all on my laptop, which is far far away… In my office. Lol.
I think I’m going to make Cover WTFery a regular thing here, MK. đ
I’d like to do the same on MKR. It seems there are no shortage of WTF covers and I have far too much snark welling up inside me. Lol
OMFG…the ‘on the toilet’ look with such obviously fake tattoos is heinous!!!
The first one is simply awful and the second one is a mix of randomly put together body parts.
That first cover is just ugly! What is he doing there? Why? And that second cover, wow, she really is not having a good time.
both are truly awful. You were right about the first one. He does look like he’s sitting on the toilet. and what is with the tats on his chest? they don’t look right either. and the second one looks like mismatch body parts.
Both are pretty awful…and make me NOT want to buy the book, much less, read the blurb. UGH…bad choice
Oh my had to laugh at those… the second one… I thought maybe it was a man’s chest… then looked again and just shook my head…
