Top Ten Scariest/Creepiest Book Covers
1. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer By Michelle Hodkin- I like that the two people are like floating and at first I thought that the guy was drowning the girl... actually maybe I still think that.
2. All Unquiet Things By Anna Jarzab- Dead body... creepy!
3. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs- Creepy little girls freak me out.
4. Ten By Gretchen McNeil- Just finished this. It's perfect for this time of year! I love the island and the red font.
5. Shadowlands By Kate Brian- I think it's the birds that make it creepy. I don't like black birds at all.
6. In the Shadow of Blackbirds By Cat Winters- Old fashion looking photos always look a little creepy and the mask doesn't help.
7. The Rot & Ruin books By Jonathan Maberry- These covers are SO scary!
8. Asylum By Madeleine Roux- Weirdo girl and cool creepy font. I like it!
9. Bad Girls Don't Die By Katie Alender- I can't see the face and that scares me.
10. Anna Dressed in Blood By Kendare Blake- The title and just EVERYTHING about the cover is creepy.
Happy Halloween Everyone!!! Which covers made your list???

*shudders* Mrs. Peregrine's freaks me right out. GO AWAY CREEPY KID. STOP STARING AT MEEEE. i think the cover of TEN is super ominous. Creepy isolated island! AND YES TO THE THROWBACKS. I want to binge read all my old RL Stine and Christopher Pike books!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of Mara Dyer!! :) And I love the book as well <3 <3 <3 Great pick of covers! :) And have a great Halloween! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe curtain on Bad Girls Don't Die looks like a shroud. Creepy! I picked Anna too - there must be something about young girls that scare people as I'm seeing that cover and the Peregrine one over and over. Here's my TTT
ReplyDeleteI love the Halloween throwback section! I used to looooove R.L. Stine.
ReplyDeleteLOVE R.L Stine! I'm disappointed Asylum hasn't gotten good creep factor reviews. It had such potential with the covers and pictures! My boyfriends absolutely loves the Rot & Ruin series, so I think you would like it!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and thanks for stopping by Swept Away By Books!
Oh good I was wondering about Rot & Ruin. The covers scared me away for a while, but maybe I'm ready to try them??
DeleteI really want to read Anna as well!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
My Top Ten List!
In the Shadow of Blackbirds was wonderful. I hope you read it soon! And I always point this out to people, because I've found that not everyone notices this right away - but do you see the ghost hovering on the left side?
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!

I don't think I've ever noticed that!! Weird bc it is SO obvious once you see it!
DeleteI'm glad you think black birds are creepy, too. And I agree about not seeing the face in Bad Girls Don't Die, that and the lace curtain, somehow curtains really creep me out!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely agree with old looking photos always looking creepy...eek! Love this list, so nearly picked the Jonathan Maberry books, they were on my desk at work staring at me! And love the bonus section, brilliant!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVING the Halloween throwbacks section!! Some great picks on this list :-)
ReplyDeleteEek! Great creepy covers :)
