Research For Project 4

The book that I’m going to be redoing is Zombie Raccoons and Killer Rabbits by Martin H. Greenberg and Kerrie Hughes. The book (of analogies) is basically fifteen short stories of animals that range from being happy to horrifying animals that you never want to meet in your lifetime. There wasn’t much more information to gather about the book since it was all about different animals and it’s not a very well-known book. The source about the book I got was from a guy’s picture of the back of the book (below).

Kerrie Hughes is an author/editor that has written only with Martin H. Greenberg only with different analogies. Martin H. Greenberg taught at the University of Wisconsin in Political Science and wrote Political Science Fiction in 1974 for a teaching guide, and since has been writing science fiction anthologies with other authors, including Alexander Potter (Sirius: The Dog Star in 1994). He even edited The Future Adventures of the Joker in 1990. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_H._Greenberg)

When I was looking into the different science fiction and anthology book covers, mostly they have aliens, space ships, or anything that has to do with outer space on them. But, with anthologies it seems that there is no theme but to try and attract the user with it's interesting book cover to try and get them to buy the book. I took a few examples from one science fiction book and an anthology and science fiction anthology.
