    Ye gods, I'm glad these are supposed to be aliens, b/c their anatomy certainly doesn't look human.

    Did they get a 10 year old to paint this?

    Actually, this looks like it might have been written by George McFly during his much-maligned alcoholic phase of the early 1990s.

    I was going to make snarky comments on the Stargate, the typeface, and the picture of the two lovers, but I see that pretty much every other io9 user has beaten me to it.

    Teaches me to sleep in.

    The cover art suggests that this is the love story between my fourth grade teacher and Michael Jackson and how they consummated their love in front of a Stargate.

    At first I thought this was some sort of black velvet fan art poster for the 1985 film Into the Night, starring Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer, who is naked in it. I couldn't remember anything else offhand about the movie, even though it was on cable all the time when I was 13.

    "Weirdly, Amazon has a version of the book cover where the woman suddenly has long, flowy hair and a more doll-like face."

    Vampires on the Moon. And we carry a Harpoon!!

    Anyone have any idea where that Werewolf film set on the Moon went????

    I think it was called 'Full moon Fever'

    The synopsis is taken sraight from themovieinsider! How close to the finished product this will be is anyones guess!!

    'Set in the not-too-distant future, a group of blue-collar workers is sent to repair the deserted first lunar base on the dark side of the moon; they soon discover they're not alone as they fall prey to a pack of ravenous werewolves.'

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): If you're a werewolf on the moon, are you a werewolf all the time, or is your transformation driven by the phases of the Earth?

    @lightninglouie: Its a funny one that. I heard another synopsis of this film almost 5 months ago. But I forgets where!! It basically says that its a virus brought to the station (and its a big one), that gets out and it transforms all the peeps to werewolves. Because its on the darkside..they never change back (im thinking, shitting in the woods, dry humping and butt smelling)!! Fun! But when they send another crew of 'poor bastard' humans..all hell breaks loose!!

    I cant wait to be honest. As long as its gory and theres at least one zero G killing, im there. It cant be any worse than New Moon....can it??!!

    Thank you. That was a wonderful waste of an hour.

    I got a kick out of the Dick covers. You can just hear the designers thinking, "I gotta stick some damn sheep on the cover somewhere? Christ. How the hell am I gonna do that?"
