The 25 creepiest book covers ever
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.
