In a feature collecting “19 of the Best and Worst Book Trailers,” The Huffington Post wondered if Stuart Ross’ video for Buying Cigarettes for the Dog could be the worst book trailer ever.
Here’s more from the post: “Is this the worst book trailer ever? Or does it somehow miraculously go 360 degrees past being bad, landing somewhere nearby ‘good?’ You decide.”
What do you think? This GalleyCat editor votes “somewhere nearby good.” The video is a deadpan critique of the whole crazy book trailer genre, a new art form spoofed (and celebrated) during last year’s Moby Awards.
