Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy .   This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers.  The rules are fairly simple and can be found here.  Each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite.  I missed the last two weeks so I’ve done a quick catch up :

23rd Sept: Wee, sleekit, cow’rin, timorous beastie – A cover with a beast or beasts.

I have to go for the second cover with this one – although I think the first one is quite chilling somehow.  The second cover gives me a laugh out loud pantomime moment – I want to shout out to the girl ‘it’s behind you!’

30th Sept: This solitary tree! A living thing – a cover with a tree or trees.

This one is more difficult.  I actually want to go for the second cover because this is what most of the books that I own by Gaiman are styled like – and I do like this style.  I also like the blue cover with the tree – and I don’t think I’d seen that cover before.  Difficult to choose between those two for me.

This week’s theme:

Consumed by the darkness within, it hides all our sins” a cover that is predominantly black.

The two black ones are very similar but my winner:

Which is your favourite?
