Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
Hardcover
PaperbackBorders.com:
"Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared.
Once upon a time, my name was not Alice.
Once upon a time, I didn't know how lucky I was."
When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends -- her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.
Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.
This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.I always thought the hardcover was fine and good but I'm really drawn to the paperback. The simpleness of the bow and the dark background make for a very creepy-cute cover.
Hardcover or Paperback?
It's the hardcover all the way for me.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say the hardcover, but it is really hard to choose! They are both really good covers! I will be reading the book soon so I hope to figure out the meaning of the ribbon!
ReplyDeleteHardcover. I love the second cover, but it doesn't seem to fit with the theme of the book.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the hardcover ^_^
ReplyDeleteI want to read this one regardless of the cover. I'm not sure that the paperback captures the book as well, but I am totally drawn to the ribbon!
ReplyDeleteThe hardcover fits so much better with the plot. The ribbon is visually attractive, but not as compelling as the hardcover.
ReplyDeleteI like both, but I think I'd pick up the hardcover more quickly.
ReplyDeleteI like both, but I like the hardcover much more.
ReplyDeleteThe paperback is more visually attractive, but the hardcover is more haunting, which, IMO, is a better fit for the subject matter. I vote hardcover.
ReplyDeleteHardcover, definitely. It's more menacing, with the photographer's leg being caught in the shot like that.
ReplyDeleteI really love the paperback but the hardcover wins.
ReplyDeleteHardcover definitely, i love it. I so want to read this book!
ReplyDeleteHardcover. The paperback just looks boring.
ReplyDeleteOooh. Very hard choice. But I think I'll go with hardcover. I totally see the attraction to the paperback, but I'd still pick the hardcover.
ReplyDeletehardcover!
ReplyDeleteI like paperback better. Hardcover is too scurry.
ReplyDeleteI have the hardcover and I do prefer it more.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen the paperback cover yet. But I prefer the hardback.
ReplyDeleteI like the hardcover better.
ReplyDeleteHardcover! ;)
ReplyDeleteMost definitely the hardcover!
ReplyDeleteI just read this yesterday - what an amazing, scary book. Hardcover for me! It's haunting.
ReplyDeleteHardcover is simply haunting. The paperback is cute and creepy, but the hardcover is edgy and makes you wonder what goes on inside.
ReplyDeleteHardcover is the best. I love the paperback also but it is nothing compared to the hardcover. : )
ReplyDeleteConfession--I love the hardcover cover for the book, but I actually love the paperback version more. When I first saw it, I thought, "I HAVE to get this book!" and then realized "Duh. I wrote it." But such is the power of a good cover, and I think the paperback cover for LIVING DEAD GIRL is very good indeed :-)
ReplyDelete(And I should note I can't take ANY credit for it--it's all Russell Gordon, design genius!)
I like them both. But I think I like the hardcover more. The dress reminds me of a dress Courtney Love would wear in the 90s, kind of kinderwhoreish.
ReplyDeletehardcover all the way
ReplyDeleteHardcover a million times over. There's nothing there on the paperback
ReplyDeleteHardcover
ReplyDeleteThe paperback is just too plain. I really like the hardcover.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the minority but I would be so DRAWN to the paperback in a store that I have to go that way... Paperback!
