You can't judge a book by its cover - which is very true.
But you can like one cover version better than another.

"A gripping thriller about a man who may or may not have dementia—and who may or may not be a serial killer—from a master of twists and turns, in the tradition of Laura Lippman and Gillian Flynn." Sigh, another one for the teetering TBR pile. Paper Ghosts is Julia Heaberlin's forthcoming novel. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. Okay, so both covers employ the colour red - which connotes danger and death. The UK cover illustrates a woman who may or may not be dead with fallen leaves covering her. I'm kind of meh on this pic. But I quite like the image that the US cover has. The black and white definitely evokes a ghostly feel, fitting with the title. Twins make it even more eerie. Hands down the US cover for me this week. What about you -which cover do you prefer? And plans to read Paper Ghosts?
You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World.
Yes, I think the US cover suggest 'ghosts' much better than fallen leaves. Though I will say the leaves covering the woman's eyes are kind of creepy. I plan on reading this one at some point.
ReplyDeleteI agree - it's the US cover for me as well.
ReplyDeleteUS again this week. And yet another title to add to my ever growing list of books to be read!
