The Friday Face-Off is a meme originally created by Books by Proxy and now hosted over at Lynn’s Books. The idea is to compare the different covers of a book with each week being a certain theme.

This weeks’ theme is a cover featuring stormy skies: ‘Raining cats and dogs.’

This weeks’ book is Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.

Cover A:

Cover B:

Cover C:

Cover D:

Cover E:

Cover F:

Cover G:

And the winner is… COVER F!

The art style really catches my eye here. The two lone figures stood upon the hill draw me in, I want to know what they are discussing. And the dark clouds and stark forks of lightening give a moody atmosphere to the whole landscape.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with my winner, or does one of the others work better for you? Let me know in the comments!

Next weeks’ theme is a book cover featuring a rider or riders: ‘Live in the saddle. Die on the hog.’
