Shelf Candy (1)

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!
 

Even without reading the title I just know its some dark, terrible and story, and I can't wait to read it! The black and white color scheme just make those splashes of red pop out even more. And the gold on the intricate tattoo looks beautiful against all that white. 
The talented Nekro is the illustrator for this series, and the black-red-white theme is like his signature work. He's also done the covers for The Space Between, Blood Magic, Article 5, and Anna Dressed in Blood. You can check his other hauntingly beautiful illustrations over at his blog 13 Inches.
