Fun with Typos

[Tach Deneva]

Several years ago the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction held a contest that went something like this:

You've been hired to write one-line cover 'blurbs' for a new line of science fiction/fantasy paperback books. You haven't actually read any of the books; you have a vague notion of what each one is about, more or less, but ultimately you must rely on the book's title. Unfortunately, every title has a typo - just one letter is wrong - but you don't know that.

Some examples (that I made up):

Tarzan of the Ales (Edgar Rice Burroughs) -- A young boy abandoned in a brewery grows up to become the King of Beers.

The Sound of the Baskervilles (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) -- The hills are alive!

Firestarker (Stephen King)-- Things get hot when her clothes come off!

Queen of the Black Toast (Robert E Howard) -- Conan faces his greatest challenge: breakfast on the high seas!

So, think of a science fiction/fantasy novel or story (or movie or TV series) and change ONE letter in the title, and write an appropriate cover blurb.
