I usually don't feature creepy covers, but I had to make an exception with this one, as it's SO stunning, and so effective!<br /><br />Thanks for the visit and the nice comment!! <3 :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-71767099737299538952017-02-06T11:39:03.912-05:002017-02-06T11:39:03.912-05:00Hi, Brian!

The contrasts you mention are indeed what make this cover so very effective. The depiction of the eyes as merely white spots, with a black background, do indeed give an overall foreboding feel.<br /><br />I do wish I could have gotten the artist's name....

I get the sense that this book is full of very bad things as well as very good things. <br /><br />The use of eyes, which are just depicted as white spots, really creates a foreboding feel.
