Terrible cover: Frankenstein

I'm setting the ball rolling (said he hopefully) with the worst possible cover for Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley.



Feel free to comment appropriately.

I assure you that the cover is genuine: I took the picture in a bookshop in Leuven in Belgium, on 24 May 2019.

I bet he can't find a helmet that fits.

Heeheeheehee...

Ah, the millenial retelling of Frankenstein, wherein the monster is just a misunderstood teen who only wants to be left alone to ride with his motorcyclist friends; Dr. Frankenstein is probably portrayed as the stereotypical totally-clueless middle-aged single parent so absorbed in his own world that he can't make emotional contact with the monster.

That cover is meant to be humorous. It's from a series that reprints classic literature in a hard-boiled style. https://pulptheclassics.com/
