I like it a lot!
Hmmm, someone at Scribner really loves faces and butteflies for SK books.
Last 3 book covers had a face on the cover with a scripty font and last 2 butterflies.
I get the cocoon thing is part of SB but come on.
I hear you Mike - terrible.
The cover is Bazaar of Bad Dreams meets Silence of the Lambs with a dash of American Horror Story. Not awful, but a bit too slick like the marketing boys are driving the ship.
I like the cover. But am wondering if the short excerpt will be in actual print of if it's just an online thing.
Amazon has a hi-res non-watermarked cover up:

It looks too much like the cover for Bazaar of Bad Dreams for me.
A cover's a cover. Me likey words between, if it pleases.
A whiff of "Silence of the Lambs"? I like it though.
Be interesting to see what the UK cover will look like. I prefer most of those over the US.
Also curious to see the U.K.
I just feel like he deserves more respect with the cover to his books when they know they're going to make another butt ton of money. Why can't they put a little more effort into the design than this. It could have been the cover for a fifty shades of grey-knock-off-sequel-number-4 cover. This cover is not worthy of a man who is going to be remembered far far into history.
Did you all read the excerpt?
I liked it but theySpoiler:right? Must be? Yeah, I think so :-)

At least he got my name right in Misery. 03-30-2017 07:59 AMBr!anAnd mine is spelled correctly in Desperation. :wtf: 03-30-2017 09:15 AMHeather19I'm not a huge fan of the cover either, and I think you guys pinpointed it. It is very similar to Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Did the same illustrator do both? 05-11-2017 05:51 AMmae 05-14-2017 03:53 PMBrainslingerKudos to Owen for the Dickens reference, (Great Expectations, if I remember correctly). Rather cheeky.
Heh.
Seems an interesting premise. I look forward to it. 05-30-2017 06:46 AMBrian James FreemanAnother new painting by Jana Heidersdorf for the special edition of SLEEPING BEAUTIES:
