An Adventure to The Lost City 

In Part 2 of our look at Hades and Persephone retellings we tackle two popular modern takes on the tale. The first is the webcomic turned graphic novel Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe, a favorite of both your Casing the Cover hosts. The second is A Touch of Darkness, a sexy retelling by Scarlett St. Clair, and we have some feelings. Fair warning folks, this is a rant episode.

Lore Olympus Vs. A Touch of Darkness

This month we are tackling retellings of the Greek Myth of Spring. Before we dive into modern tales featuring Hades and Persephone, we take a look at a classic novel that has obvious allusions to Greek myth but has in turn inspired just as many retellings itself: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Join us as we study an array of covers, from bad stock art choices to covers obviously stealing ideas from the broadway musical. Keep an eye out for part 2 of our exploration of Hades and Persephone retellings. New episodes of Casing the Cover are released on the last Tuesday of each month.

The Covers of the Phantom of the Opera

Following the theme of Casing the Cover 2022, we are tackling another set of retellings this month. Since February is the month of romance, we decided to take on Romeo and Juliet, the most doomed romance in literature and our least favorite Shakespeare play. Will adapting this tired old tale into a modern geek love story or a noir mystery make it any better? That’s what we are here to find out as we review Verona Comics by Jennifer Dugan and These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong.

What a Tragedy: Romeo and Juliet Retellings 

It’s a new year and a new season of Casing the Cover. We’re kicking things off with a double hitter as Mary and Jenn take on one of their favorite topics: retellings. We’ve each brought a modern version of the fairy tale classic Cinderella. Jenn’s pick, My Fairy Godmother is a Drag Queen by David Clawson, gives us a gender bent LGBT romance. Mary’s choice, If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, reimagines the Cinderela story as a dating show featuring a plus size Cindy. Join us as we compare these modernized versions of the world’s most famous fairy tale, and discuss how the retellings take on the story’s iconic details, and stick around for our analysis of how Disney has brainwashed you with the color blue. All this and more in our first episode of 2022! New episodes of Casing the Cover are released on the last Tuesday of each month.

Play along and see how many covers you can guess. Special thanks to CoKoCon for having us as guests at this year’s convention!

Casing the Cover at CoKoCon 2021

The news just broke in the publishing world that James Paterson is teaming up with none other than music superstar Dolly Parton on a new book project. As weird as this team up may seem, it certainly isn’t the first time that a celebrity name has been put on a work of fiction. In many cases readers are left to wonder: did the celebrity actually write this? So that is the question we tackle this week on Casing the Cover. In this episode, we take a look at 40 celebrity authors, and do our best to guess which celebrities we think actually added autor to their list of accomplishments, and which we think had a little more help than they are letting on. This is all speculation on our parts, but feel free to follow along with us and make your own guesses by checking out the article: https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/g33987725/celebrities-who-wrote-fiction-books/ New episodes of Casing the Cover are released on the last Tuesday of each month.

A Look at Celebrity Authors

This week we take a look at The Librarian and the Spy, a good romantic thriller with an awful stock art cover and one incredibly problematic plot point. Come with us to a world where only a librarian can save the world from terrorism with her special research skills, but she certainly doesnt deserve to get paid for it. It’s weird to read a book about your real life job that doesn’t quite understand how your job works...

The Case of The Librarian and the Spy 

Today we take a look at two different literary lives. Jenn introduces us to the perils of Immortality in the Invisible LIfe of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab, and the possibilities of lives unlived in the Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Both of these fantastical novels have excellent and not so excellent cover iterations, and we will take a look at them all this week as we try to decide what’s better, eternal life or infinite lives. Which would you choose? Trigger Warning: These novels touch on themes of suicide and may be disturbing for some listeners.

Of Multiverses and Immortals 

Casing the Cover was born when two library rats started wondering just how misleading, misguided, and mystifying book covers could really be. Hosts Jenn and Mary adventure through weird cover art, absurd titles, and the downright confounding choices publishers make to sell books to try to determine what actually happens when you judge a book by it’s cover.

These ladies not only come from novelist backgrounds but you can tell in short order they know the illustrator and marketing points of view when it comes to selling a book by its cover!

I’m loving this series

We finish our month of James Patterson by diving into his 2019 novel The Chef, a novel Mary chose exclusively because she thought the man on the cover was Gordon Ramsey. Join us as we determine whether this novel, written by Patterson and Max DiLallo, is going to give us an insight on the lives of celebrity chefs as the cover implies, or if it is simply another in Patterson's long line of detective dramas.
