That is fantastic...where does it come from?
It's from the hardback to Lisey's Story. If your wondering who did it...Mark Stutzman did it.

Wow! The UK hardback cover sucks in comparison :(
DT: is yours the green one with the feather and the drop of blood aswell?
Yep:

(It looks blue in this shot, but its definately a greeny-turquoise colour!)
Inside the the cover its just plain red with no illustrations.
I was never too fond of that cover. I always liked the shovel because it could pop up some very good questions for a new reader just picking it up. For instance "What does the shovel mean"?
In general UK King covers suck :(
I think the UK covers are too plain sometimes.
They are, and I don't understand why. The Cell cover, for example, was plain ugly! Anyone know why there are different covers - why the publishers don't use the same covers for the same book?
What they think will interest folk in certain markets/countries I'm guessing.
I was just going to ask that question. :)
Or appreciate sublter covers more than Americans.
:lol: Some are subtle - the DT hardbacks show different views (in perspective) of the Tower and are in different colours, which I quite liked. And some of the Hodder and Staughton paperback covers are ok...but generally they're...bleck!...I'll see if I can find a picture of the Cell cover and you'll see what I mean.
Ya, I went as far as cutting the paper on my brodart so that the book would show. It's not perfect but it works.
Here are the US and UK Cell covers. The UK one is on the left.

Here are the US and UK Lisey's Story covers. The one on the right is a proof cover from the UK. I've only seen two copies of it (and I have one of the two!).

I probably would have gone with the right one to release in the UK.
I prefer that too.
As for the Cell cover, I haven't seen that UK one you have John, the most mass produced one I've seen in just red, white and black - although the UK publisher Hodder have just reissued all their King books with new covers - this is the newest cover for Cell:

all the other books are much the same, a bold colour with one graphic - eyecatching I guess, but still boring.
The UK Cell I pictured is the hardcover edition. I've not seen the UK paperback, but I agree that the one you show is very boring! I wonder what those publishers are thinking! They seem to be sacrificing everything interesting for conformity.

Well when the profits start to go down because nobody is buying, maybe then they will rethink conformity.
