"The Testament of Herald's Wife" by Lynne Hugo
The large print edition cover of the book "The Testament of Herolds Wife" by Lynne Hugo. A pure white background with a simple black script font conveying the title. The head of a hen rears it's collosal waddle into frame, her beak open and breathing deep like a raptor salivating for her kill. A smaller and much less threatening chicken floats in the top right corner, pecking at the white void for any morsel of sanity. The fake blurbs for the book "The Testament of Herald's Wife" by Lynne Hugo which reads " The Viscount Harold Greasure of Wobbleton Park is the talk of the town, with all the eligible ladies (and their mothers) vying for his attention, and all the right-to-do gentleman esteeming his prowess in the noble game of marbles as the most diverting of London's elite. When, in a moment of weakness and drink, the Viscount loses a bet to the sardonic Duke Dubblesprit, he must complete a task most daring or lose his entire fortune. The task? To woo the sophisticated and no-nonsense Ms. Flooftufft, daughter of the Duke of Kentucky. Will they wed, and will Flooftufft offer her testimony of marriage as proof to the jealous Duke Dubblesprit? Or will the Viscount lose his marbles? "

"She Who Sleeps" by Sax Rohmer - 1928
The cover of the book "She Who Sleeps" by Sax Rohmer. The cover depicts 3 characters: one is a person in stereotypical ancient Egyptian garb raising their hands above a woman in what looks to be a flapper gown with a metal bra lying on a bed. Below them is a man in generic detective garb and a green hat. His right hand looks like AI had a go at it. There is no clue as to what the heck is happening here. An image of the fake synopsis of the book "She Who Sleeps" by Sax Rohmer that says: "Detective Dick McQuiff deserves a holiday. Still recovering from his last case, "The AI Machine of the Future that Drew my Right Hand" (Dickie Detective #13), Dickie and his wife/Pilates instructor Celedrina have taken up residence in a badly themed Airbnb in the rural countryside of Ithaca, New York. Instead of rest and a good stretch, the couple find themselves cought up in the murder of their lodge host, Mrs Doublewatch. Who murdered the eccentric and racist old woman? And will Dickie and Celedrina bury her corpse, or ignore the whole thing and turn the airbnb into a dog shelter like any sane person should?"
