Friday Face Off: King Sorrow by Joe Hill

Today I’m returning to the Friday Face Off, originally created by Books by Proxy). I’ve missed these for the past few months and so would like to get back to comparing covers (and hopefully I will be updating this page with a new banner. This is an opportunity to look at a book of your choice and shine the spotlight on the covers. Of course this only works for those books that have alternative covers (although sometimes I use this to look at a series of books to choose a favourite). . So, if you have a book that has alternative covers, highlight them and choose your favourite. If you’re taking part it would be great if you leave a link so I can take a look at what you’ve chosen.
This week I’ve chosen a book that I’ve not read yet but I’m really looking forward to, King Sorrow by Joe Hill – I’m excited for this.
Here are the covers:
My favourite this week:
I really like both covers so this was a difficult choice. Which is your favourite?
Join me next week in highlighting one of your reads with different covers.

Your pick is stunning!! 😍
It certainly grabs your attention doesn’t it.

Yes, definitely the US cover, the other one doesn’t say much about the story.
Yeah, it looks kind of pale by comparison.

I prefer this too, th edragon face design really pulls your eye to it.
I think I prefer the other one for it’s colours but if I’m remembering this books premise right your choice definitely captures it more.
