How may ways do I love this cover? Let me count them. I love how the fortune teller has cheeks like someone who has had one too many face lifts. I love that our heroine is wearing prim gloves. I love the unibrow on the thug. I love the Phrenology diagram on the table. I love the mirror in the background. And there, in the back, with its back arched, is the best black cat ever. Bad luck! Bad luck.
(I also love how this cover makes me think of Brian Eno’s Fat Lady of Limbourg. “But her sense of taste is such that she’ll distinguish with her tongue: The subtleties a spectrograph would miss.”)
