Tender Is the FleshThe guidelines specifically say Barnes & Noble covers are not acceptable, for titles not published by Barnes & Noble Press. I see this one is published by Scribner so it cannot be used.
If you have a copy you can share a photo of the cover here or on any image sharing website. Once you have a valid cover, you can post in the proper folder and request to add it.

Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore.
His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.
Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.
* Language (for non-English books):
English

linking B&N even though it's against the rules because it's a B&N exclusive and I'm not sure you can find it on any other sites... ?? the cover is different than the regular edition though...
