The cover was actually the reason I didn't read the book! It was way too freaky. But then again, I am a wuss about these things...

The cover is a bit scary in my view, but I love the title though and thought it is very apt.

I think the cover did a great job at saying "creepy". Without even reading anything about the book, I look at the title/cover and instantly know this is going to be a spooky read! Instantly made want to read what it is about! Wonderful job, I'm a sucker for awesome covers!

I thought that both the title of the book and the cover were appropriate for the horror genre. The book was both frightening, and contained extremely edgey content. I guess the answer is yes, and yes to the question of whether I liked the cover and the title.

I thought it was very captivating and eye-catching, but it is also the kind of cover that you would need to want to read that type of genre. It can be a bit unsettling for some, but I love it!

I thought the title and cover of the book were intriguing, and were part of the reason I was interested in reading the book. However, I thought they were a let down because I didn't think the book lived up to its potential.

Hopefully, you'll feel differently after I fix it. ?

I think that cover is what pulled me to read the book's review at first. And then the book seemed great!

The books title is well fitted for the context of the book and gives a subtle premise of what to expect from the book. But the cover took sometime getting used to.
