Best things about this cover:
  • Peter was never that good at vampiring. "Less sniffing, more biting," his mother always said. But Peter was different.
  • It's the story of two young lovers, trapped in a magical aging rain that grays your hair but good.
  • It's not just frank. It's absolutely frank. 24-karat frank. 99 44/00% pure frank. The frank standard.

Best things about this back cover:
  • Correction: *utterly* frank. We apologize for any confusion our front cover copy may have caused.
  • Just to be clear: great frankness. OK? OK.
  • This sounds like one long story of fumbling with straps and premature ejaculation.

"I'll get the milk pails."

I'm just gonna leave that there.

Sung to the tune of the Monty Python Spam song:

Frank, frank, frank, frank,
frank, frank, frank, frank,
FRAAAAANNNK!
Lovely frank! Wonderful(ly) frank!

Finally, some recognition of my post Martini & Rossi career.
