Actually, if they just used the weird four-eyed two-eyed image, it’d be unsettling and effective enough on its own.

If it were just the 4-eyed, 2-nosed girl, that did scare me at first, but then I couldn’t even look at it. My eyeballs are too busy bouncing around. Maybe if only the eyeballs were doubled, not the nose?
It hurts more than scares. Gotta be honest. That 4-eyed girl is painful.
I know. I can’t look at it without thinking my contact lenses slipped into a weird position.
I don’t wear glasses, but it still hurts to look at that image.
It feels like my eyes went cross-eyed and are desperately trying to re-focus. And then go WTF when they fail.
Serious eye pain here as well. I guess that was the effect they were after?
If the desired effect is for a potential reader to go look at something less painful, it’s a very weird marketing technique.

That’s it! The doubled nose makes the image impossible to look at.
Great idea for a cover.
Not.
Did the girl in yellow see a haunted mouse and climb the walls to avoid it?
I love the skulls border the most! (It does a lot to counteract any spooky effect the rest of the pictures might have for me.)
Nyah, nyah, nyah. Guess who’s a Four-Eyes!
So that’s what all those other kids were seeing back in grade school. What on earth was wrong with them?
Horrifying. But not for the reasons intended.
