‘Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme being hosted by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite books covers. The rules are fairly simple and can be found here. Each week, following a predetermined theme choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Simples. This week the theme is:
‘A cover which is predominantly green’
A book that I thoroughly enjoyed and my first Ray Bradbury book. Something Wicked this Way Comes (oddly, I was inspired to read this by the song in the Harry Potter film (the title of this post is a snippet of the lyrics).
UK : US
I love the UK book cover. I just can’t help it – it’s so deliciously dark and gothic. It makes me think of foggy streets and evil and things that go bump in the night! Scary things – Jack the ripper, Jekyll and Hyde – you get the picture I’m sure!
Next week’s theme:
‘Water, Water Everywhere’
Come join in the fun!
I’m with you on the UK cover! It really is wonderfully gothic – love it! The US one I wouldn’t look twice at I’m afraid!
Yes, I think it would be easy to overlook that one to be honest.

Agreed, the UK cover is wonderfully weird 🙂
I know, it has a wonderfully gothic greenness!
Lynn 😀
Too much going on in the US cover! I much prefer the simplicity and atmosphere of the one on the left 🙂
Yeah, especially the strange green!
Lynn 😀
Yes, definitely the UK cover.
I think we will all agree on this one!

‘By the pricking of my thumbs…something wicked this way comes’ (Shakespeare) 🙂
Loved this book and love that eerie, green UK cover 😀
It’s a lovely cover and it just so happens to be the one I own!
Lynn 😀
I prefer the UK cover as well. 🙂
😀
I don’t like anything about the US Cover; I actually own that particular UK copy too 🙂
I think it’s too busy and all sort of jostled into a tiny box – don’t really know why they didn’t use the full cover!
