Mina Covers


These fall into the “covers I’d like to like but can’t” category. They succeeded in catching my eye:

…and the older title,

field-of-blood.jpg

Unfortunately, they don’t seem to hold up under closer examination. Establishing a “look” for an author is an interesting idea — but forcing a white title onto a picture too light for it, for instance, doesn’t work.

Put it this way: I like the photo choices, but think the graphic design could be better.
