Clearly someone in France is trying to make it up to me for the cuddly French cover for Caught Stealing.   My wife thinks this is a bit too Cirque du Joe Pitt, and I get that, but I’m less concerned with the image, which is just fine, than I am the title.  Dude, Le Vampyre De New York sounds like it should be on the title card for an obscure pre-war French horror film in which the Coalition serves as a metaphor for fascism and Joe Pitt is a reluctant resistence fighter played by Jean Gabin.

  Charlie accepts France’s apology for cruel joke of first cover. �
