A beautiful winter landscape and the cover of the book THE PART ABOUT THE DRAGON WAS (MOSTLY) TRUE are overlaid by a quote from a very (un)enthusiastic review who says, "I do not feel there was anything redeeming about this book...I can usually appreciate a good story even when poorly written, but this isn't a good story either."

Against a beautiful backdrop of a snow-covered landscape, we see a small picture of the cover of the book The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True by Sean Gibson (the greatest book you've never read). Superimposed atop the majestic winter landscape is a quote from an enthusiastic actual reviewer that reads, "I do not feel there was anything redeeming about this book...I can usually appreciate a good story even when poorly written but this isn't a good story either."
The hardcover version of Sean Gibson's The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True sits on a bookshelf between two dragon statues (one red, one green), with other splendid books in the background.

A bookshelf showing a copy of a book called Enchanted Tales and Twisted Lore. The bookshelf also has a couple of cool dragons on it, and, in the background, leather-bound copies of The Lord of the Rings. There's also a copy of The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True, which is the best book you've never read, and never will.
The fantastical cover of the book Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore, edited by Marx Pyle and J.C. Mastro. It features a spaceship flying through a dark and cloudy sky as well as a fairy tale castle in the distance, blue lightning splitting the sky above it. In the foreground, we see a bridge with brave heroes on it.

Surround the pair is a trio of ghosts. In the foreground, we see an outstretched hand on the floor...IS THAT FROM A DEAD BODY??

The book The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True by Sean Gibson, unquestionably the best book you've never read, sits next to a demonic dice roller on a bookshelf. The cover features a half-elven lady bard wearing green-striped clothing sitting pensively on a treasure chest next to her lute. In the background, a fearsome red dragon lays atop a gigantic pile of treasure.

A picture of a home library with built-in shelves on two walls. Among the many books pictured are titles by Sean Gibson, who is probably the greatest author you've never read and undoubtedly the writer of this alt text. Fun fact: toward the back of the picture is a globe. Hidden inside the globe is a decanter of Scotch and four glasses. Currently, that decanter holds Glenglassaugh Sandend, which is outstanding--I highly recommend it if you dig Scotch!
Against the backdrop of a purple, starry sky, we see the covers of books by Sean Gibson, including The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True, The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple, You Can't Hide from Chriskahzaa, Dragons of a Different Tail, The Camelot Shadow, and The Strange Task Before Me. The caption reads: Epic adventure! Thrills and chills! Dad jokes! This is not your father's storyteller. And not your father. Probably."

Cover image of the story You Can't Hide from Chriskahzaa by Sean Gibson, which depicts a female bard standing with her arms crossed next to a giant, who's sitting in a chair and eating food. Behind them are three holiday ghosts and a couple of bookshelves. You can also see an arm outstretched on the floor...is it a corpse??
The cover images for all stories written by Sean Gibson (thus far), which include The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True, The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple, You Can't Hide from Chriskahzaa, Dragons of a Different Tail, The Camelot Shadow, and The Strange Task Before Me. The tagline is, "Forget exploring the universe--come hang out in the ME-niverse," which is exactly the level of humor these books offer. I recommend against buying them, even though I wrote them.
