Favorite SK Book Cover

[RichardX]

I'm struggling to decide which book to get signed in Savannah (assuming I survive the line scrum). I have a few first editions that I bought when they first came out in the 80's like Cujo, Firestarter, and Christine. Liked them all about equally and they are in the same general condition. So I'm down to deciding which cover looks best, and it occurred to me there haven't been many discussions about the best and worst SK book covers. I like the original Firestarter cover. White with a face outline covered in flames. The Shining first edition is not a great cover in my opinion. It looks a bit like Peyton Place with a Norman Bates type on the cover. I figure some marketing person said "scary hotel" hmm how about a Bates-look alike? Then they back slapped one another and took a long lunch. Any favorite covers or ones you disliked

UtD the best, IMO.
DT VII also rocks, and Lisey`s Story when you take the DJ off.

Worst probably Insomnia.

No conspiracy here, Richard.

I'm partial to the early paperback artwork.

The Stand,and IT.(that was easy)Hearts in Atlantis is also a good one.My least favorite would have to be- any cover with a picture from the movie on it.

Full Dark, No Stars has a beautiful cover.

It is simple, just the storm gutter and grate, with the sailboat, but wait...there are fingers poking through that grate. And just the way IT stands out...I really like that cover.

And Pet Semetary, because it was my first SK book, and the cat and the font of the title really caught my attention, is what drew me to it.

The Stand,and IT(original).Hearts in Atlantis is a good one.My least favorite are the covers with a picture from the movie.Like the paperback for Hearts in Atlantis,with Anthony Hopkins on it.

I agree with you Srbo about UTD, is one of the best. My next one after that is Duma Key.

Yeah, IT is great too, no doubt.

I like the old Signet covers the most. By "old" I mean the paperback covers from around 1990 to 1994. I own a copy of Night Shift with the same cover that on the photo samhain posted.
The newer Signet covers aren't so great, the cover of It from a couple of years back is pretty lame, imo.

The all black paperback cover of Lot with the single red drop of blood....
