Owner's Description

Pacific Coast. CVA Exceptional (whatever that means). "Don't Bring that Monster to Life" This really, really dark cover isn't quite black, but rather has black shadows of deeper images in it - making the cover much more engaging in person than as an image.

So...what is that thing anyway? Some sort of Native American Owl Demon? There's the ceramic pot looking thing which is somewhat southwest-y and the monster appears to be beaked and have those lazy owl ear-tufts, plus he's shooting some kind of rays from his kind-of gemstone-looking finger-claws? I'm not even really sure he's a threat - right? Maybe he's here to grant 3 wishes; like that's going to turn out okay.

The pink & green on the superdark background works well, and I'm only half annoyed at the size of the word balloon. It mostly helps to understand the action. Overall - I think this one might have been the winner of my 12 cents for the week.
