Ah, Memory Loss. And after seeing this cover, I’m starting to think erasing it from my mind wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
Let’s start with the neon blue background — a color choice so loud it could probably be used to guide lost ships back to shore. Then, floating at the top, we’ve got a man who looks like he either fainted mid-air or was poorly cropped from a fitness magazine. His rigid pose is less “dreamlike amnesia” and more “taxidermy gone wrong.”
And then there’s the main event: the giant, glowing head plastered across the cover. It’s as if someone discovered the emboss filter in Microsoft Paint and thought, yes, this is high art. The smile doesn’t help — it’s less “friendly protagonist” and more “uncle who got trapped in a photocopier.”
To tie it all together, the tagline delivers a wall of text in a font that fades into the background, making it nearly as forgettable as the memories the book is supposed to be about. Irony, or just poor design? We’ll let you decide.
This cover is an unforgettable disaster. Which is unfortunate, because we really wish we could forget it.
