Gene Wolfe Covers

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Crimes upon crimes! I thought she looked a little elvish.

It look really familiar (the artwork is very similar to that of the Mistborn? series), and after some digging I found that the cover was just taken from this book.? This explains the disconnect between the cover and, well, virtually everything about The Shadow of the Torturer.
