Reading Kim Newman's Secret Files of the Diogenes Club (with much enjoyment--he's good), I derive a brief flicker of amusement from the fact that he has two characters lecturing each other on how silly it is to think that God might have created the world complete with fossil history to seem older than it is...in a book whose cover is designed with the appearance of ripped cloth and worn corners to seem older than it is.

I hope it's a deliberate irony.

Tell me about this book. Amazon doesn't bother to describe it al all.

So basically it is possible that fossils and geological strata are merely the cover art for a vast multi-dimensional cosmological trashy novel?

Hmm. That would explain a lot.

*grin* Of course, holding authors responsible for cover art is probably not entirely fair...cue "There's a Bimbo on the Cover of my Book."

On a purely gleeful note, isn't "Mr Leech" on the cover the dead spit of George Spiggott from Bedazzled?
