Who wouldn't swoon over those dashing dead eyes?

>1 TheLOFT: Poor guy looks like a cross between Jeff Spicoli (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) and Lloyd Christmas (Dumb & Dumber).

>2 Hammy_JLK: There's another book in the series that I don't feel quite comfortable posting here, but resting assured it feels exactly like accidentally walking in and startling three gentlemen in the locker room.

Also, pity about the bad hair day our hero there is having.

This is truly atrocious. Makes me wanna gag. Good lord. Something about the glowing light that highlights his body as well makes it so much worse, like this dude's a really creepy angel.

Keanu later regretted submitting a photo for the audition to his high school production of Zardoz.

I fear the scope creep involved with this title. Surely there has never been a print edition, and this is only a "cover" in a metaphorical sense?

A cover that is neither erotic or sci-fi. GSS!
I'll put this on the shelf next to my other hair styling erotica "Prince Valiant after dark" and "Bangs!"

>8 paradoxosalpha: I regret to inform you that we have a physical copy in our closet. May it never see the light of day.

That body doesn't go with that head, or else he's over-trained his neck. Conjured a bit too much flesh along with the pageboy cut.

Good debut, @THELoft!

This is what you get when you buy conjurations on Temu.
