The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!
This week’s theme: The nose boop
It is much harder to find a cover of an animal close-up than you think, at least for me! I finally decided to go with an old favorite, Stephen King’s Cujo, which has lots of scary close ups of King’s killer dog. Take a look at some of my favorite covers:
UK paperback 1982 | Signet Books paperback 2002 | UK paperback 2011
Turkish edition 2015 | Bulgarian edition 1993 | German edition 1987
Spanish edition 2000 | Spanish edition 2012 | Polish edition 2008
Spanish edition 1982 | Polish edition 2014 | Russian edition 2015
Favorites:
The UK paperback reminds me of the copy I own, and I think that’s why I like it. Plus it’s got that old school Stephen King font that really takes me back. I also love the Polish edition for its simplicity and very scary dog, although the title is way too small!
These are all equally terrifying!!!!! 😉

I don’t think I’ve ever read Cujo but I have seen the movie. My favorite cover is the 2002.
A great choice for this week, Tammy:). My favourite is the UK cover – it nicely ticks all the boxes, doesn’t it?
I wanna pick the German edition because Cujo doesn’t look scary there *nose boop*

Great pick this week!
Yeah, the 1982 UK cover also reminds me of the paperback I read. I wonder if I still have it around somewhere… But I think my favorite of this grouping is the 2011 UK cover. This brings back memories. 🙂
Nice pick this week! I think my favorite is the Russian edition!
Goodness, I’m going to have nightmares after looking at these covers! The German edition is too cute, and an exception. I think my favorite is the Russian one, since it is more subtle and not all that horrifying~
I think I might have the 1982 edition in my collection, but all those look kind of cool…lol.
LOL! You know I clicked this link expecting adorable dog pics and burst out laughing when I saw Cujo instead.
The UK edition really stood out to me and I also like the Russian version which is a great boop.
