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 with a closed door or door standing ajar: ‘Knock, knock… ‘who’s there?’
This weeks’ book is the second book in Stephen King’s epic series The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three.
Cover A:
Cover B:
Cover C:
Cover D:
Cover E:
Cover F:
Cover G:
And the winner is… COVER E!
The atmosphere and sense of foreboding in this design really appealed to me, and captures the feel in the books. There is a mysterious feel coming from the door, and while darkness seems to be all around, the glow from around the door hints at hope.
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 a cover with a mask: ‘…Christine, who have torn off my mask and who therefore can never leave me again!’
I’d probably agree about cover E. Shame I just can’t get into the books. I’ve tried a few times and I have to give up halfway through the first book.

I really like Cover A because as well as having three doors they all look like they have come off houses that are a little rundown and therefore spooky.

Cover E for me too, makes me want to explore further to find out what is the other side of the door
