I am often taking part to ´cover reveals´ and I always take part to events that do reflect my values and aesthetical choices, but some covers are definitely more stunning than the others.
I love colourful covers, but when the choice of colours is minimal, it should definitely match the content. In Don´t Forget the Crazy by Lucy Kaufman, a dark psychological novella I cannot wait to share it with you, the predominant red is clearly indicating what to expect from this book. It features Milli Morgan, a person living ´by the list´ - as the author of this blog post, hence my highest sympathy and interest for her - whose list is suddenly getting some shocking detail. And not only once.
As usual, the lettering plays an important role in convening the message, and in this case, the alternation between white - the author´s name - and the red - the title of the book creates an eventful contrast.
I cannot wait to share more about this dark psychological short story soon, but until then, take a second and a third look at this cover. Hope to have the chance to showcase even more such visual editorial events.
Many thanks, as usual, to Rachel from Rachel´s Random Resources for generously having me for this online event.
