YES HI HELLO I’M KAYA AND YOU’RE WATCHING DISNEY CHANNEL. Just kidding, you’re actually reading my blog in case you can’t tell the difference. I’m here to talk about some of the creepiest covers known to man and womankind. Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads.

Tell me this isn’t one of the creepiest covers you’ve ever seen? I do actually want to read this book but wow. The cover designers really came for us with this one.

There’s something so viscerally unsettling about black roses resting in the place of a girl’s eyes. Am I the only one who feels like this shouldn’t be possible?

The more you study the details of this beautiful cover, the more disturbing it gets. It’s even creepier after you’ve read the book, because then you understand just how ominous this cover actually is.

A wolf that’s also a forest covered in human hands is an absolutely FANTASTIC take on a cover. I have zero clue what this book is about* but I saw it in my WordPress image library and went WOAH so now we’re here.
*it’s okay guys, eventually we’ll get to it in a bank it or bin it post and i can bin it. if it doesn’t sound good.

I feel like if you’ve read this book, this cover isn’t really creepy so much as melancholy. Anyone who hasn’t read this book: can you confirm that this is an actually creepy cover*?
*i feel like i sound like that journalist in scooby doo 2 played by alicia silverstone. don’t question my obscure brain connections.
That’s it! Which of these covers do you think is the creepiest? What’s YOUR favorite creepy cover?

OHEMGEE! Horrid looks absolutely beautiful. I have to add this to my tbr. It gives off some House of Hollow vibe…and i kinda like the black roses on her eyes. They are really pretty. Thr whole COVER IS LITERALLY SO PRETTY.
Am i weird if I dont find the cover creepy at all? Hope not…

IKR! it’s so gorgeous and the roses are beyond beautiful. LOL i mean, i’m sure some people don’t, because it’s not really traditionally creepy.

all these covers are really pretty in their own way but yeah creepy for sure. Nothing But Blackened Teeth is on it’s own level, oh my, oh my. I think if I gave this book to my sister she would give it right back 🤣 imagine if you had that image painted on your ceiling though !! 😱

I really like all of these, but I think the ‘Nothing But Blackened Teeth’ cover art is the creepiest. 🙂
