Lookalikes 17

Poison by Chris Wooding

Nightmare by Joan Lowery Nixon

Thanks to J. Kaye for pointing this lookalike out! 

It's interesting that the freckles were removed on the Poison cover, it sort of removes some of the dimension in the girl's face. Truthfully, neither of these covers do it for me how about you?

  1. She looks scarier without freckles.

    They don't really appeal to me either, but I think I prefer her with the freckles. She looks more like a normal person.

  3. Or, of course, the freckles could have been added on the other cover.

  4. It amazes me every time you post a Lookalike. I can't believe how many you find! Being in publishing, I know images are used over and over, but it still surprises me.

    No, I don't care for either image. The eyes remind me of those Precious Moments dolls (apologies to anyone who likes them, just not my cup of tea :) )

  9. Yeah, neither cover does it for me either. I like the freckle one slightly better though. :)

  11. I love these look-a-like posts. Its interesting to see how images are recycled among books and their publishers.
