Nice, colourful book covers are all very well, but it's much more fun to do something dark, disturbing and distinctly creepy.
We've found 25 book covers that are ever-so-slightly sinister and unsettling. Some of them are obviously strange, others require a little more attention before that sense of unease starts to drift across you.
And all this before you even start reading; you'll be a mess by the end of the book.
