I always loved this french cover for Firestarter

That's the best cover of that novel I've seen so far.

The Black House


The Dark Half

These are my favorites. Amazing.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

That's a different "The Dark Half" than I have...Those are Russian, correct?

I think I prefer that cover--mine looks like it could easily be mistaken for a Hardy Boys book! (Same with my Russian "Rage").

[Brice]

It is Bulgarian, I believe.

[stone, rose, unfound door]

Those Bulgarian covers are pretty scary...
The Firestarter (Charlie) cover you seem to like bothers me a bit since I don't see the link between the cover and the story. I mean apart from the implied heat.
I also think "Marche ou crève" is a better title than "The Long Walk". It's a lot closer to the story and that's partly because of the title that I bought the book in the first place. It took them 10 years to translate that one so hopefully they got a good title for it!

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Ah, Bulgarian...they are really cool.

A good friend of mine (which is always updating the french bibliography) is currently working on the list of all the mass paperback editions from a publisher.

And i was "amazed" to see what the publisher is doing.
Well, first of all the type on the covers is not always the same (but over the time they all get the same), but something that is shocking me is all the different colors of the type.
It's not harmonised at all, and look stupid !


Look at some of em:



WTF ???
Even when they do the same color, it's not the same. Blue, baby blue...WTF ??? Seriously!

If you want to see em all :
