Lee Striker (the second author name) is an acknowledged pseudonym of Margaret Clark. So she’s listed twice on the cover (make of that what you will). From the look of the other books in this series (there are 12), I get the impression the cheesy low grade shlock horror cover is a deliberate style choice, so, err, well done?
@DaveM – just a case of “implied ‘writing as'”, I guess.
The teen seeing the vampire librarian says “Like, I loooooooove vampires, but, like, this one isn’t all, like, sparkly ‘n’ stuff, so it, like, can’t be real….”
When I first saw this cover, I thought that the vampire had a moustache or whiskers INSIDE its mouth. I realize it’s supposed to be a book, but I prefer the “whiskers” explanation.

Why is there a rockhopper penguin inside of a vampire’s mouth?

Shouldn’t the vampire book clutching lady be happy to see a vampire ?

I saw that same look on my dental hygienist’s face the last time I went in for a teeth cleaning.

What on earth is she actually looking at? I guess it’s us, trying to make sense of this cover, hence the horror.

So Margaret Clark and Lee Striker/Margaret Clark are hair-raisers for….bald orthodontists?

I probably shouldn’t ask, but…Who copied whom?

@DSWBT #14: Noticed I made the same joke on that one. Must get new material…

I can do better… Does this mean only a meagre 4 hairs are raised?

If you get bitten by a a vampire librarian, do you just turn into a vampire, or do you become a librarian as well?
Or is a vampire librarian merely a librarian who provides for the intellectual, cultural, and recreational reading needs of vampires?
Can you tell I’m a librarian who overthinks things?
