(This is just my opinion, I'm still buying the book regardless of the cover. It's what's on the inside that is really important to me anyway.) No, this cover does not appeal to me much at all. I would have preferred an artist rendering instead of a photo. I think the person on the cover is in an odd-looking, unnatural position. Maybe the unnatural postion was what they were attempting to achieve. The cover of Full Dark, No Stars conveys a couple of things to me. The person in the picture looks overwhemingly distraught to the point of possible depression. This could be quite a dark collection of novellas.
What do you think?

Do I like it? No. Yes. I don't know, maybe? It certainly is a departure from anything his marketing team has done before. I like the painting art from recent previous covers (Lisey's Story" and UTD were both good). Although I though that Just After Sunset was a little mundane.
ReplyDeleteSomething about it is interesting though. This one may grow on me. Or I may hate it when it's on my shelves. We'll see!
Maybe they are trying to win over non-genre readers, the snoody one's who only shop the in the "literature" section or those who think Oprah's book club is the best thing to happen to reading since Gutenberg. The cover does seem more like something you'd see on one of those "deep literary dramas".
"Maybe they are trying to win over non-genre readers, the snoody one's who only shop the in the "literature" section or those who think Oprah's..." Ha ha ha, you are probably right about that one.
