Haunted cover up on Amazon
There is a picture on Amazon of the Hauted cover. I'm not sure if it is the final cover or what? [URL=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0385509480/ref=dp_primary-product-display_0/102-1465170-4294523?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=507846&s=books]Here it is...[/URL]
im sure if thats it, it will look better when its complete.
maybe they could change the color to something of coffee stains instead. and sharpen it a bit, turn the opacity down a lot.
and change that godawful font.

I agree... If thats it lets hope they do some work to it before putting it out...

Well. That certainly sucks. They should have me design the cover.
Put an afro on it, a bit of Polynesian print and you're away.

I for one would vote for Vendetta to design the new cover of Chuck's book...

Excuse me we here at the "Hauted cover up on Amazon" like to refer to the book as "Hauted" and would appreciate it if you could do the same... 
Thank you and have a nice day...

but we are talking about the cover in this thread! not the book or it's content!

i wasn't trying to be an asshole. it just happened. i'm bored at work and felt like talking mild shit to somebody. if you stick around long enough you'll come to realize it's just my way.
and that book cover does look lame. i agree with everybody here about it.
no, a book can't be judged by it's cover, but when you're in the bookstore and have 10,000 books to choose from, often the cover does decide whether or not you buy it. this cover, i think, is so horrid it may keep people from discovering Chuck.
no one even heard of chuck until fight club... I will admit that I hadn't... i mean if they haven't heard of him by now... i seriously doubt that anyone is going to see Haunted and so OMG I gotta get that because the cover is so awesome... and vice versa... if you disagree let me know...
[COLOR=DarkRed]Sex isn't the answer, sex is the question; Yes is the answer.[/COLOR]
well.... i pretty much agree with you. i guess i was thinking a little too generalized-like.
like a person heard from someone that Chuck was good, and they see the cover and think "well, maybe next time."
i don't know, though, now that i'm typing this out i think i might not know what i'm fakkin talking about.
either way... the cover sucks!
I Agree That The Cover Sux Ass...

read this entire thread before clicking over, think the whole time "it cant be that fucking bad"
i was wrong
thats just kinda dumb but more than just kinda

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”

Or maybe as a result of smoking your pole at the time he/she was dispensing this advice, his/her words were unnaturally muted and muffled and you simply misunderstood him/her. See now, all you had to do was keep your dick to yourself for just a few moments more and all this could have been avoided.

if something is muted, it is not also muffled.

Didn't Chuck say that Haunted was also going to be his longest book yet? Amazon's got it listed at just 256 pages.

i thought it was gonna be. but amazon is full of lies.[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/old_kid/lies.bmp[/IMG]

I'm so upset over the official "Haunted" cover that I honestly haven't even been able to formulate my thoughts yet.
But bloodfuck, your cover is insane. Do I have your permission to toss it up with our other fan covers on this page?

You gotta talk to Chuck about this, Dennis. I like bloodfuck's design very NINish, it would work well for a haunted book.
Think for yourself. Question Authority.
I stared at the Amazon cover for about six seconds trying to focus on it. It hurt so bad, I think I sprained an iris.

they obviously left it out in the sun too long

very sweet cover.
I have to ask- is that you in a gasmask?
I actually have a thing for gasmasks.
I have a S-10 gasmask from the UK actually.
I love it. I wear it out to shows and stuff.
