The Friday Face-Off: Gothic

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: Gothic

I have a feeling I won’t be the only one to use this book, but hey, I couldn’t help myself! Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia even has the word “Gothic” in the title, and I was happy to find four different covers, take a look:

U.S. edition (Del Rey) 2020 | Polish edition 2020

Croatian edition 2020 | Hungarian edition 2021

Wow, I love all of these! I’m not sure I can pick, but I’ll try. I absolutely love the Hungarian edition, I think it’s the most “gothic” of the bunch. But I’m actually choosing the Croatian cover as my favorite, although ask me another day and I might change my mind:-)


Which cover do you like best?

  1. I agree, they’re all great covers and each has its strengths but I like the US edition best. What made that stand out to me over the very similar Croation cover is the slightly more muted color scheme and the more neutral pose leaving me wondering what she might be feeling. And I love how both cut off the top of the head. Not seeing the eyes adds that bit of mystery and drama.
