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 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.   Future week’s themes are listed below. This week’s theme:

Clown “Nobody likes a clown at midnight”

This week’s choice is: It by Stephen King.  Okay, I hate to be predictable but this was the book that immediately came to mind.  I’ve tried to stick mainly with the covers with the clowns so for those of you with a nervous disposition you might want to leave here right now!  Run.  Why are you still here – run, now!!  I won’t tell you again then…

And my winner, as crazy as this may seem, and definitely a bit understated given some of these covers, is:

Okay, no clown, but it just seems so Stephen King to me!

Which is your favourite?
