Sorry guys, and terribly sorry, Joe (fellow hundred-dayer) but today's book cover is a bit of a yawn. Boo-ring. This looks like a book that's in the "on-sale" shelf, all the time. Hence, the Look Inside concept. Unless that's part of the title. Look Inside Dark Shadows Falling by Joe Simpson. That sounds nothing like a book, but more of a Chinese proverb, by Hue Ximpzon.
Look Inside Dark Shadows Falling was coined by the great 1994 live-action Street Fighter character Chun-Li Zang. During the famous fight with arch-nemesis Zangief, at the Festival of the Old Temple, against the backdrop of South Korea, Chung-Li was on her last life as Zangief threw the last ten moves.
Her bloodied face looked up towards the sky as it quickly darkened. As the dark raindrops fell slowly onto her forehead as she whispered to no one in-particular, "Look Inside Dark Shadows Falling." A bright light suddenly appeared over her limp body as her eyes came to a close. As the temple shook all around her and Zangief started to panic, her body rose mid-air and came to a hovering stop.
A loud voice bellowed, seemingly in response, "Touch the void!" And with that she disappeared. Lost forever to only be remembered through tales of cultural legend. The meaning being that if you look inside dark shadows, no matter where they may be, and what situation you are in, you will always rise above if you look up.
Alas, this is not the book cover for that story.
