Welcome back to Cover Snark!
Elyse: The artist was sick the day the learned to draw the lower body.
Sneezy: Never skip leg day.
Amanda: Her dress reminds me of those Barbie dress cakes.
Sarah: That is just So Much Dress.
Also, are his trousers open in the front?! My word!
From Syntha: I don’t even know where to start with this one.
Sarah: He looks like someone. Who does he look like. It’s going to bug me until I figure it out.
Elyse: It’s orange Detective Stabler.
Sarah: YES I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT.
Elyse: Doink Doink!
Sarah: Syntha also sent this and I have to say, I respect the attempt:
Syntha: The giraffe neck just looks so silly rising out of the jacket.
Amanda: Honestly, this one is perfect.
No notes.
Elyse: His center of gravity is just so fucked up.
Can you imagine the orthopedic issues that guy has?
Sarah: I really can’t fault any of it.
Sarah: This was a suggestion while I was looking at the Neckromancer (I see what was done there) and in icon size it looks like he is drooling.
Amanda: You can just tell this man has an overinflated ego.
Sarah: He is his own Chosen Champion, huh? Yeah, I see it.
I was watching an episode of “Antiques Roadshow UK” last night, and someone brought it two huge stuffed giraffes made by the Steif Company (buttons in the ear and everything) to be appraised—and it’s all I can think about when I look at that Imperfect Shifters cover. (The giraffes were appraised at about £5,000, by the way.)
When I saw the Aleron cover, my first thought was “Why is he drooling?”
@Kris, I thought the same thing! Also, he looks like John Barrowman and gives spot-on Captain Jack vibes.
That Alien Farmer needs a wife because he killed the last one and buried her under the barn, right?
I love everything about the Neckromancer cover (is it a pun on neck + romance? Does he raise the dead? (I’ve been replaying BG3 again so raising the dead is front of mind)). Read to find out what happens I guess.
It’s a dress and a bed spread!
The giraffe head not even being on the cover is tremendous
A bounty of winners this week.
I thought Necromancer was merely wearing a goofy hat with a cross at the top. (Not Disney Goofy.) Maybe time for an eye exam?
Omg, i had a barbie dress cake lol.
Imperfect shifters? So headless giraffe guy is bad at shifting? Is this a romance? She loves him even though the percentage of giraffeness varies? I just can’t.
I’m not sure I should admit this, but I’ve played a decent amount of Pokemon Go. The Neckromancer reminds me of the Alolan Exeggutor.

So, if you really like the Imperfect Shifters series, and that book in particular… are you afflicted with neckrophilia? Is there a neckties versus cravats battle toward the end of Chapter 6?
More to the point, is this the guy to take on a warehouse-club date — who can actually read the labels on the top shelf?
Well, at least the giraffe doesn’t ruin his suits when he shifts…
Well, the Neckromancer certainly gave me a much-needed laugh! I suspect that the whole book will be happily bonkers.
I want to tell Chosen Champion Aleron to spit that out right now, boy; you’re not five years old. A grown man chewing what looks like a badly deformed rosary is not particularly sexy or appealing.
The artist for Neckcromancer originally designed it as an April Fools pre-made cover design, thinking no one would buy it. (I jumped when I saw it here after originally seeing it in her shop probably a year ago.) I can’t tell you how happy I am that someone saw it and said, “oh yes, I must write this story.”
