Best things about this cover:
- "Why won't the braless zombie look at me directly!? O, the melancholy. Where's my diary...?"
- "Vanity, thy name is braless zombie."
- "I brought you that braless zombie milk you asked for, honey. You'll have to come over here and get it, as I can't take my eyes off this hideous portrait of myself."
- "Hard-hitting" = "It hurts!"
Best things about this back cover:
- "Shh! Did you hear that? Sounds like braless zombies!"
- "Oh god, please don't let her take my salmon throw pillow away!"
- "Many will
flip straight tonot like the brutal scenes of callous indifference; of patients in orgies for the amusement of attendants..."

He was free, but his freedom produced for the moment no more emotion than any short walk might have. His motive now in being free was not the motive which had produced his first plans. He was not sure what his motive was. He did not know where he was going.
Riveting! If only that paragraph had the word "motive" in it at least four more times.

HA! -- It's "Jim"! from "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom"! But why is he vamping on the bed like that? Wouldn't bra-less zombie be more appealing in that position rather than him? Wait a minute ... is this another one of your gay novels, Rex?
"Woman trouble" is a misdiagnosis; Arnie's trouble is that he is a fool. Don't you just love the offhand, casual statement, "But Wilma was a mental patient ---"?! I wonder when it is that foolhardy Arnie finally gets a clue and starts to make decent decisions to "fight back to life". As the old proverb goes, "When one finds oneself in a hole, stop digging."
I, too, was struck by Arnie's coy pose on the cover. Is he about to stutter, "Please...please, be... gentle!"
Considering the way Arnie's laying and the long, phallic shaped object in braless zombie's hand, I REALLY DON'T want to know what sort of woman trouble he has with her before getting mixed up with the blond lunatic.
Well, "shocking study" is one way to put it...
Hey! That's Tedmartin Dansheen on the cover!
Wow! Great cover. You've got a really cool blog.
"As you can see, we got the cover art from the 'Braless Zombies' Exhibit at the Wax Museum."
Tell me they aren't made of wax. Look at the guy's face on both covers. Creeeeepy.
