Covers so bad… The Other Side of the Night by Edmund Schiddel

You may read this and think we are kidding. The sad thing is, we are not. Here, word for word, is the worst blurb we have ever read:

Their wealth was so great… there was EDWINA, a 400-pound behemoth who believed she was God; her lascivious daughter, JULIE, who thrilled over seducing and then torturing her men; PETER, who sold his soul for a glittery world he now hates; ANASTASIA, raped by a regiment during the Russian Revolution, now despises herself and the son that came of it; and CHARLES, Julie’s weak, impotent husband whose every breath seared with jealous rage.

Surrounded by the luxury and laughter of the very rich, they filled their empty days with exotic drugs and bizarre sex on an endless treadmill of highs and lows.

We love - the cover quote from the New York Times: “…his best book…”. Oh dear.
