So first up this year is a trio of underwater covers, inspired by Kay’s “Artsy Shelf Underwater” post from last year: A Blue So Dark by Holly Schindler (which is one of the covers that Kay posted), Rain Village by Carolyn Turgeon (which I immediately thought of when I saw Kay’s covers) and Spirits of the Sea: The Siren’s Song, a CD by France Ellul.
Rain Village was actually published first, by Unbridled Books, in 2006. A Blue So Dark came out with Flux last year. (Spirits of the Sea used this image first, as it was released in 2005, according to Amazon.) I like all three covers, but I think A Blue So Dark is my favourite. But then again, maybe I like Rain Village better. I can’t decide. What do you think?
I'm with you : I think a Blue so Dark is my favorite... but Rain Village is really, really close behind!
ReplyDeleteI like them all too and would be hard pressed to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteAvis A Blue So Dark is my favorite too. You have to feel the cover for it as its different. Almost like velvet. Its hard to explain but its not your typical feeling cover. I noticed that Flux does that alot with there books in 2010.
ReplyDeleteThe first cover is the most striking but I like the tiny, glowing orbs in cover #2.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Ti, I think the first cover is most striking but I do love the glowing orbs. Thanks for posting these. I love this feature, it's always fun seeing how many different books (or music) use the same art work.
ReplyDeleteooo, they're all so beautiful, I don't mind seeing the image over and over! I'm going to have to track down a copy of RAIN VILLAGE, though!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover of The Blue so Dark best too. I love the turquoise color of the water on that one.
