Top Ten Tuesday -- Scary Book Covers

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join.  If you can’t come up with ten, don’t worry about it—post as many as you can!

In celebration of Halloween, this week's topic is scary book covers.  I must preface this list with the fact that any book cover that includes clowns would be number one.  However, I hate clowns so much that I can't even put pics of those covers on my blog.  Instead, I'll be highlighting some other scary book covers.

1. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz -- The classic series that scared the crap out of me as a child.  And yet I continuously reread these books...

2. The Passage by Justin Cronin -- I found this alternative cover for the book.  There's something about little children on covers that creeps me out.

3. The House of Dead Maids by Claire Dunkle -- Something about the no eyes that is extra creepy.

4. The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff -- Maybe it's becuase I just had a baby.  Babies are creepy.

5. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs -- Another creepy little kid.
