Shelf Candy is hosted by Five Alarm Book Reviews. Every Saturday, you showcase a book cover that has you falling head over heels. We’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but hey, sometimes it’s nice to stop and appreciate the awesome artwork!
I bought the Anita Blake series when it was just starting out, so I have the old covers. But I recently discovered the new ones and they just blew my mind away! First of all, they're red. All of them. Yay for red! Then some have innocent but creepy items up front, and the others are just plain creepy. These are just some of my favorites, I wish I could put them all but the series is 20 novels long ^__^''
The top ones I find beautiful. I like the cameo pieces on Blood Noir, the Bullet one I can almost see as a tattoo, the Harlequin mask gives me the shivers, and the wolf face rising from the blood in the sand clock is haunting. The bottom ones I find creepy! Moths scare the crap out of me ever since I watched the darned movie, the skeleton thing on Bloody Bones yick, dolls are always creepy, especially when in their unfinished state. And the last one is not creepy by itself, its just a lot of bodies and limbs and faces, but when you look at the title Danse Macabre...well then, yes. Creepy.
Haha this Shelf Candy turned out to be kind of Halloween themed :)
