Michelle’s Covers
Ten
Past Midnight by Jane Toombs
I like this cover very much. First, because
it fits the material perfectly. I
love the simplicity of the cover too, and the muted shades of grey and black, the gothic-type font. The book itself contains six
stories and three poems on the dark side of paranormal. As it states in the
writeup: ‘Everything from ghouls to the
heart-eating Egyptian beast who decides one's fate. Even the touches of romance
are definitely different. But what traveler can expect the norm when on the
wrong side of midnight? Ten past midnight All's not well. Every road leads
right To hell...’
The cover is somewhat reminiscent
of cover art of the thirties and forties, and even farther back. It makes you think of the stories of horror
writer Edgar Allan Poe, and the likes and times of Jack the Ripper. It
has that dark, sinister feel. Just
looking at that cover sends a subtle chill to creep over your skin – in a
frighteningly delicious way.
Read the book.
I always pickup books at the library based on the cover. This is one I'd pickup for sure. Karla
