Dramatic, possibly romantic, yes, but there’s some pain in there. A secret love affair, perhaps, that has long since died but has never been forgotten?Īll I know for sure is that based on this cover, this does not look like a story that will let me avoid the Kleenex box. If it’s a fire, I really want to run over there with my hands waving and warn those guys, “Get off the damn porch, you’re gonna be barbeque.” Then again, on closer inspection, the house has an empty feel to it, so perhaps I’m seeing a vision of the past. Is some tragedy coming to claim this house? Are the men waiting on the porch because whatever is coming is going to consume them, so why run? Or is it the cold, empty world around them that is coming to overtake their warm hearth? Not…a…clue.īut I want to find out. I love the juxtaposition of the gold/red sky with the blue/green grass. It’s probably a good thing I don’t review the books, isn’t it?Īs I said, I have no clue what the story is about, but it reminds me of either a house that is waiting for a tornado to come or a fire to consume it the calm before the storm so to speak. I know, I know, I really need to read some of the books I review covers for.
It looks like rough concrete, or even an earthen texture, which goes well with the ground it’s superimposed over and also goes well with the almost pre-tornado like feel of the cover. Bold, bright, easy to read, but oddly enough, even though it’s very prominent, the title doesn’t overpower the picture.
The first thing you see when you look at this cover, in big or small size, is the title. I kinda love that this one is not “typical”. On Facebook, on Google, on my Photoshop, but they don’t all stand out. I see a lot of covers every week, as we all do. This week’s cover of the week is…bum bum bum… When All the World Sleeps by Lisa Henry and J.A.
