I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!
Today’s theme is “Top Ten Books With (Blank) on the Cover,” and I wanted to do something a little different, so I’m showcasing covers with disembodied hands. It’s more common than you might think! Take a look:
Well, this was… unusual! But I enjoyed being so surprised… 🙂

Glad I could surprise you:-)
Too funny! Wouldn’t have thought there’d be this many. 🙂
Me either! I was actually surprised how many I could find.
Yup, CREEPY! I had no idea it was so common!
Ha ha neither did I:-)
Hahaha, this is such a perfect topic for you!! I love your disturbingt collection of covers. 🙂
LOL it is disturbing!
Payback’s a Witch by Lana Harper also has disembodied hands on the cover now that I think of it!

I’ll have to check that one out:-)
I loved The Luminous Dead cover from the moment I saw it!

Me too, it’s extremely creepy!
I never thought about how many disembodied hands were on covers, what a great for this week! It is definitely a bit unnerving to see all these hands, haha. These all seem so weird the longer I look at them! They remind me of the parking garage at the San Jose Intl airport that has this huge artwork all around it featuring random hands reaching up and it *always* creeped me out when I saw it. We probably should keep hands attached when we can.

OMG I think that mural would freak me out too!
Lots of creepy hands! 🙂
I know, they are everywhere…
I’m so happy to see Westaide Saints!
I loved that book too:-)
I agree random hands are creepy! And somehow they become even more creepy when you collect them together like this
I have to agree, it is creepy:-)
Oh what a fun theme! I hadn’t noticed there are actually many disembodied hands on book covers, lol.
I see the fan of thrillers and horror here LOL But you did amazingly well Tammy!
Oh wow, this is fun! I never realized how often this trend actually appears on covers. My favorites are MIddlegame and Lost Boy, but they’re all pretty fabulous.
Oh cool pick. I never thought about it but there are a bunch of covers with severed hands. Huh.
