Wanna be on a Hard Case Crime cover?
Hard Case Crime has teamed up with FHM Magazine to find a new cover model for an upcoming book, in its “Paint My Dame!” contest. They’re looking for a woman with “pulp attitude and allure.” Five finalists will win a box set of the entire Hard Case Crime line and have their photos in FHM, but the winner also gets her likeness painted on a future book; a signed, framed print; 25 free copies; and any fame and/or notoriety that may result.
To enter, send your best pulp-pose photo to letters@fhmus.com between Nov. 8 and Dec. 13, or via mail to FHM “Paint My Dame!” Contest, 110 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10011. While you’re setting up the shot, you can learn about Hard Case Crime’s new book club and see future cool covers here.
