Campy old book covers

I prefer this classic.

That’s the gayest guy ever. Is he trans or just flaming?

Satan Was a Lesbian

Mrs. Alfred Steele

My Way of Life

r6, did Lindsey Graham model for that cover?

A book that spoke to every budding '80s frau.

Buffy Rides Again

("He was the frosh flash of a fag fraternity!")

[quote] One Lifetime is Not Enough

[quote] Zsa Zsa Gabor

[quote] assisted by, edited by, and put into proper English by Wendy Leigh

At R14:

[quote] Gay Safari - He Found His Lost Love in a Jungle of Lust!

Gives a new meaning to The African Queen.

Some of the covers for Christopher Pike and R.L. Stein books were campy as fuck.

r17, the Hallmark Channel should do an adaptation of that one around the holidays

Some of the gothic ones were fun

The Fall of Valor by Charles Jackson

The powerful story of a man’s conflicting loves.

Christopher Pike's Witch (The Marjorie Taylor Greene Story)

Is it evil for one man to lavish affection on another? Torn between the boy who cherished him and the girl who struggled for his love. Kurt Gray could not be sure.

Some of these R.L Stine ones are great

The Devil is Gay

A Masculine Scent

Daddy's Boy

Song of Alexander

21 Gay Street.....is that near 21 Jump Street?

Callboy

Whatever they’re doing with their hands in R32 is very disorienting.

It’s my way or the highway.

This one has always made me laugh

[quote] Song of Alexander

[quote] He was the warrior queen of the world!

Before there was #metoo, there was the Office Hussy.

That's MISTER queen to you, buddy!

Crafty Dames

Love Me, Sailor.

Speaking of sailors:

Rita!

Hootenanny Nurse

Even a real book by a classic author can get a campy cover to help it sell some extra books.

I remember this cover when I was in grad school in the 1980s:

Herman Melville's Redburn

The person(?) in OP's pic looks like a mix between Emma Watson and Cara Delevigne.

R53, the cover makes it look like a gay coming-of-age story

And the Nobel prize for literature goes to.....

Shanna

Assuming OP's second (bottom) pic was an F/F romance tale?

R58 I’m guessing that hand jobs weren’t a make or break thing for the human character.

anything by Cartland

lesbian Jungle

Quentin Crisp

Wow-the George Nader who wrote Chrome (R58) was the actor George Nader, a “friend of Rock Hudson”, etc. Who knew?

OP, did Marion Crane write Programmed for Love before or after Norman Bates slashed her to bits?

My Primer.

Inappropriate? Yes.

Useful? Very.

"Satin Chaps"

Vera Caspary was a great writer.

The cover depicts a scene in "The Weeping and the Laughter" when Andrea seems caught between the two.

So current.

R53??that cover illustration was by DL favorite Edward Gorey, White knew EXACTLY what he was doing, I’m sure.

The Gay Way

By Flesh Alone

Lucky Bucky In Oz.

The image @ r6 took so long to load, I almost clicked out -- glad I didn't, though, the bottom half was well worth it!

Usually the men in these illustrations look “off “due to low budget art of variable quality; but the guy about to rape that nurse in R45 is hot!
