When "Man, is that tacky" is not enough...

"She keeps all her goods in the shop-window" is such a deliciously nasty old-fashioned saying. Don't you think it describes this book cover perfectly?


Yes, gentle readers, there's another Laurell K. Hamilton atrocity coming down the pike. The short story collection Strange Candy will be released in October. So let's take a look at this particular shop window, shall we? There's a woman in vaguely bondage-y looking clothes, holding up a cherry that's dripping some red fluid. Gee, that imagery is awfully subtle, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and make some predictions: A) this book is about sex, B) the sex will be oh-so-kinky, and C) the entire mess is going to be a tacky, silly, cobbled-together mishmash of Hamilton's increasingly boring favorite themes.
