What's the stupidest cover you own, /lit/ ? Do you regret it?

This abomination. I ordered one showing a pixellatrd sheep but got pic related instead. It's a shame that there's no recdnt release featuring the original cover but this is just ridiculous.

>>12139580
I own this cover too and I also dislike it strongly as it has nothing to do with the book but even if it did the colour scheme and image is stupid. Same goes for what they did to Ubik. Some of the SF Masterworks covers are genuinely good but not these ones.
