Without any knowledge of these author’s writing ability, it would seem that these book covers are the result of:
- Self publishing
- A low budget
- No access to Photoshop
- The wrong person with access to Photoshop
- Doesn’t have a friend or relative who is a designer
- Has a friend or relative who says they are a designer
- Ask the designer to make it *pop*
- Or hired a designer that does exactly what the client asks
No matter the reason, these Christian book covers will make you wince:
I have no idea what’s going on with this last cover.

I really feel the need to judge these books by their covers… I know I shouldn’t, but I really want to!!!
Eric Dye says
Somehow plain text with a solid color background would have been better … except maybe the amish vampire cover.
Matt Orley says
Is it wrong that I am considering finding Amish Vampires in Space and reading the first chapter?
Eric Dye says
No, not at all. The title and summary of this book is so bizarre, that it’s intriguing. 😛

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18623959-amish-vampires-in-space has some reviews of Amish Vamps in Space…. sounds good.
I did not bother looking up any other books listed.
