Bookstores don't like this cover

I've noticed that a lot of bookstores won't display the cover for my screenplay of The Opium of the People. They list the book, but it's without a cover. I guess some stores find it too controversial...

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

The Opium of the People: The Screenplay is available for just $1.49

My latest screenplay for my novel The Opium of the People is available for just $1.49 for a limited time at https://books2read.com/u/bzJqDE

It's often been said that J Alan Erwine's controversial novel, The Opium of the People should be a screenplay…and now it is.
The U.S. government has been overthrown! After a near-miss of a giant comet, the American people fall under the control of a radical right-wing fundamentalist Christian government, ruled by the Grand Patriarchs, that slowly strips away their freedoms and establishes a rule of law that even Hitler couldn't have dreamed up. Forced into virtual seclusion, Edward Silverberg, a former professor, finds himself on a path that will lead to either his destruction, or the destruction of the Grand Patriarchs…or maybe both.
