#the book is Sudden Silence and the actual main character has a cleft chin and a short brown bob

there’s that loving post about how old book covers versus ai generated covers is like. the artist of a book cover might’ve painted something only marginally related to the actual book, probably based on whatever they were given as their prompt, and how sometimes that turned out so cool
well like in related news lol i bought one such book recently, its from 1975 and its so funny to me its got a blonde lady on the cover but i dont even think there’s a blonde character in the book ToT some book cover artist was probably told “draw leading lady in X” so they looked at jane fonda in barbarella and were like “ah yes i got you, leading lady it is” and now this blonde girl is on the cover
#rant#the book is Sudden Silence and the actual main character has a cleft chin and a short brown bob#the blonde has Long Hair too lmao? who was the artist drawing? idk#but to be honest. the ploy worked. i DID think of barbarella and jane fonda and a typical 1960s+ movie star#like marilyn monroe. and i WAS intrigued. so i mean. if it got someone to pick up the book i guess it succeeded#the book actually opens with parental death its sad af#i was expecting um. a Lot Different
