Bloody AWESOME!!!!  All I can say is BLOODY AWESOME!! This has got to be one
of the stangest and coolest covers in a long time.  Oh sure, like you I saw
the little graphic on the web months ago -- but seeing the book in person!
The little web graphic has nothing on this tome!  The color of the book is
NOT the pale yellow that the graphic relates, but a freaky looking flesh
tone -- and the writing resembles TATTOO work more than print!  Furthermore,
and I almost missed it... there is a really neat "debossed" (I guess is the
term) hidden message on the back of the dusk jacket... it's the name of our
favorite author! :-) Very well done... an air of mystery, a little spooky --
and warmly inviting!

Well, I suppose I better crack the spine and get to work! :-)

Cheers, JJ "Jester"
