Inhuman by Chris Westphal
What's the genre? What's the logline? What is it you like or don't like about this cover? Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want to BUY the book? Discuss.
This cover immediately made me think of a Twilight Zone episode where a little girl and her doll took turns being "real." So I'm guessing this is horror/suspense.
I like the graphic and color match-ups with the title and the lips and the eyes and the author's name. My only suggestion would be to move the author's name over slightly so it's not so tight against the edge. I'm not crazy about the inconsistent case in the title, but I do like the way the text looks to be "worn down" like the face of the doll.
Overall I like this cover. It would inspire me to read the description.

ReplyDeleteThat is one creepy cover.
I would say that the book is horror. This is not my normal cup of tea, but that cover does get one’s attention.
