He was kind enough to answer my questions about the book (as well as some other...

I don't really have any sort of special affinity for birds, but I've noticed they seem to be on A LOT of book covers. So here we are! I've got birds that are featured prominently, birds in the background, single birds, flocks of birds, detailed birds, silhouetted birds... ok now this just sounds like a sales pitch. Anyway, here are the...

Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring Haunted Houses

In honor of Halloween, I thought it would be fun to do a cover post about haunted houses! I've never been to a legitimate haunted house before (unless you count my parent's house since there's a ghost in the shower). I've also never been to Halloween Horror Nights or any similar event. But I have been to a few of those random, rinky-dink, fog-machine, people-in-costumes, fake-blood kinds. I'm not...
