The second round of the the first annual Lousies awards is now afoot, as we narrow down the worst covers featured on this site in 2020! Exercise the wisdom of crowds!
In today’s installment of New Covers For Old 2021, there are some honest level-ups. Use them to ward off the disappointment of those incremental improvements.
Knight—no difference.
Blood—much better idea, but the cover is murky, lacks contrast and is difficult to interpret at thumbnail size
Miss Hewitt—a near miss. The artwork needs more polish, I don’t quite understand the off center title panel and the title of the book is impossible to read
Lost Years—Nope
Chasing—no significant improvement
Gift—much better, but I had to zoom in to see what was going on with the eye…
Murder—well, well! A book cover that really has been improved! (just to pick a nit or two, the blank area of the sky bothers me—a few clouds would fix that—and the cat might be just a little too attention-diverting)
Jesus—no difference
Leopard—NOPE!
Bloodlord—kind of a cool image but that’s all I can say for it.
I guess changing “Horay!” into “Hooray!” counts as an improvement.
