Brain Attack pulp style cover - sorry for the 2nd post. Found a typo. I was
either hinting about global warming or my own brain disfunction. :)

Sorry for the late reply... this is a really intriguing cover!

P.S. I missed the summer issue, so I asked ChatGPT for the summary...


Title: "Brain Attack!"

Cover Illustration: A vivid and eye-catching painting by Mike Miller 
features a sprawling, otherworldly plant engulfed in a frenzied assault 
by grotesque, tentacled brains. The brains are dripping with 
malevolence, their glistening eyes fixated on the panicked humans below. 
The central title, "BRAIN ATTACK!" looms ominously, and below it, the 
phrase "it came without warning..." sets the tone. In bold letters, the 
magazine cover declares, "Shocking! They stole my Gray Matter...and used 
it against me!"


Chapter 1: Invasion of the Unthinkable

It was a night like any other, until the sky split open with a blinding 
flash, and they descended upon us, hungry for brains. Nobody had seen 
anything like it. It came without warning.

Chapter 2: The Brain Harvesters

Dr. Victor Grant, a brilliant neuroscientist, found himself thrust into 
a world of nightmares. The brains, with tentacle-like appendages, 
slithered through the air, seeking out their prey. They were relentless, 
cunning, and ravenous for human intellect.

Chapter 3: The Last Stand

With chaos reigning and the city in ruins, a small group of survivors 
banded together to fight off the relentless assault. Dr. Grant, armed 
with his scientific knowledge and a fierce determination, led the 
resistance. They scavenged for weapons, trying to hold onto the last 
shreds of humanity.

Chapter 4: A Sinister Connection

As Dr. Grant delved deeper into his research, he uncovered a shocking 
truth. The brains were not alien invaders but creations of a sinister 
organization that had stolen his own gray matter. They had used his 
brilliance against him, and now he had to outsmart his own mind to save 
the world.

Chapter 5: The Mind Battle

In a heart-pounding showdown, Dr. Grant faced off against the mastermind 
behind the brain attack. With his stolen intellect turned against him, 
he had to use his wits to outmaneuver the very brain he once called his 
own. It was a battle of wills and a race against time.

Chapter 6: The Brain's Revenge

Just when victory seemed within reach, the brains unleashed a 
devastating counterattack. They tapped into the collective knowledge of 
the human race, gaining unparalleled power. Dr. Grant and his allies 
faced an impossible choice: sacrifice their own intellect to stop the 
brains or watch as the world was consumed by their insatiable hunger.

Chapter 7: Sacrifice for Survival

In a heart-wrenching decision, Dr. Grant and his team made the ultimate 
sacrifice. They willingly gave up their intellect to create a weapon 
against the brains. It was a race against time as they unleashed a 
weapon of their own creation, hoping it would be enough to save humanity.

Chapter 8: The Final Showdown

The epic battle reached its climax as the weapon collided with the 
brains in a cataclysmic explosion of knowledge and power. It was a 
battle of epic proportions, with the fate of humanity hanging in the 
balance. In a blinding flash of light, the brains were vanquished, but 
at a great cost.

Chapter 9: Rebuilding from the Ruins

With the brains defeated, humanity faced the daunting task of rebuilding 
their shattered world. Dr. Grant and his fellow survivors emerged from 
the ashes, forever changed by their harrowing ordeal. They had faced the 
unthinkable and emerged victorious.

Chapter 10: A New Beginning

As the sun rose on a new day, Dr. Victor Grant knew that the world would 
never be the same. The scars of the brain attack ran deep, but humanity 
had proven its resilience. They had faced the ultimate threat and 
survived. As they looked to the future, they did so with a newfound 
appreciation for the power of the human mind and the strength of the 
human spirit.


"Brain Attack!" - A pulse-pounding tale of science fiction horror that 
will leave you on the edge of your seat, questioning the very nature of 
intelligence and the price of knowledge. Prepare to be shocked and 
enthralled by a story that explores the darkest corners of the human 
mind and the indomitable spirit that refuses to be defeated, no matter 
the odds.
