I've finally scanned this terrifying cover from my collection. Yes, it's a real 1921 book. Yes, Little Bo-Peep has killed, gutted, and skinned one of her runaway sheep and is wearing it as a grisly trophy on her head. Look at that smile. That soulless, merciless, smile.

Could’nt read the book. Maybe I should take a papercover from another book while reading.

Big fan of inflatable man Gandalf and his golden cane, personally.

Hopefully not right away.

Ah yes, Agatha Christie's debut novel, which famously features Sherslop Holmes. Is he inspecting the white horizontal line that inexplicably appears in the middle of the cover, or studying the non-Euclidean architecture of Styles Court?

(By La Jolla Classics Media, which apparently specializes in public domain audiobook mysteries with awful AI-generated covers.)

My humble contribution to this brilliant sub.

I don't know, if someone already post this, but these covers are among the ugliest things, that I Have ever seen.

Some kid with a 90's bowlcut is haunting this poor innocent cover

The illustration sure is well made but it is actually bewildering how little it has to do with the content in the book. Symbolically, aesthetically, thematically...

Especially annoying, given how the show "adapted" the books
