Move over , Diamond Star ! There ’s a new contender for most cheesetastic book cover of the 2000s . It ’s the cover art for futurist lamia love story Those Of My Blood . In the full gamy - res version , you’re able to see the lunar explorer ’s fang .

We should stress that authors do n’t customarily get much comment into their book covers , so this image is by no means a mirror image on the work ofscience - fabrication love affair author Jacqueline Lichtenberg . And any novel that features vampires fighting on the Moon , where an alien lamia spaceship has just crashed , automatically gather our touchstone for awesomeness . ( Somehow , I ’d gotten the impression this book was newly published , but after double - checking just now , I realized it ’s been out in paper-back book for six year . And it won the Romantic Times Award for good SF novel . Weirdly , Amazon has a version of the ledger coverwhere the fair sex suddenly has long , flowy hair and a more dame - like face . )
Here ’s a description of her book , from one of the Amazon review :
Dr. Titus Shiddehara is a human / vampire loanblend alien from the planet Luren . Titus , an astronomer has been sent to Project Station on the moon the turn back his nemesis and vamphyric Padre , Dr. Abbot Nandoha from contacting the plate world of Luren .
Titus is a Resident – a Luren who does not booze blood from the human germ . Instead , he drinks a cloned , dried blood mixed with het up body of water . Abbot , on the other hand , is a Tourist . He feels justified in not only drinking rake from humans , but also in their domination . To Abbot , humans are just like kine – or orl . If Abbot follow in sending his substance to Luren , humanity will be doomed .
Abbot and Titus , as lamia , have incredible telepathic powers . They are capable to bend others to their will and create believable illusions . Using these skills , Abbot does everything he can to try on link Luren . Titus is forced to shinny to queer Abbot and stay alive . This superpower struggle , set against a conflicted Earth , creates a brisk and fascinating world with unexpected twists and routine .
Here ’s the full masking art , which I guess is from the 2003 paperback version . Click to enlarge :
