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 week’s Friday Face-Off theme is a cover for the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rat. For this theme I’ve gone with James Herbert’s The Rats.
Cover A:
Cover B:
Cover C:
Cover D:
Cover E:
Cover F:
Cover G:
And the winner is… COVER D!
A swarm of rats teeming out from under the bridge is a pretty unnerving. It’s a moody and atmospheric cover.
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 week’s theme is a cover that depicts First Contact – “Ack, Ack, Ack, we come in peace”

Quite like that cover – simple but effective. Some pretty good versions for this book!

G is the cover I remember from my youth (a very long time ago) but actually, apart from A, I think they all work well.

A surprised me a little as it seemed to bear absolutely no real connection to the book itself.
