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 which is predominantly red: ‘Lips as red as the rose.’

This weeks’ book is Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.

Cover A:

Cover B:

Cover C:

Cover D:

Cover E:

Cover F:

Cover G:

Cover H:

And the winner is… COVER G!

I have seen this cover numerous times, and it has always caught my eye. The red background with the silver dragon heads in the centre are rather striking.

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 that is windswept: ‘The north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow.’
