Playing on the pose of the author photo, a quick oil painting has transformed flesh a ghastly white on the forehead—bloodied near the hairline—and feverishly red on nose and cheeks. His eyes are open though the left is rolled up, and the iris of the other is barely visible through a slit of eyelid is just a crescent of its top staring menacingly forward. White hair is wispy and disheveled, blown in chaotic directions. His lower lip is swollen and glossy with spit. The wavy line of his mouth exposes uneven teeth to suit the mad expression.

Framed photo of author Stephen R. Cox posed with his hands unevenly framing the side of his face, distorting upward the right half. His eyes are closed, set an uneven line echoed in the upward push of his full white mustache, shadowed mouth, and lower lip. The gonzo pose conveys a tone of uncomfortable malleability of flesh and an unstable state of mind.
