I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which 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,
I love flowery covers, but you know what I love even more? CREEPY flowery covers. And surprise surprise, I’ve found quite a few of them. You should also notice that many of these feature bugs and other creepy crawlies, making them very creepy! (click on the covers to see more creepy details…)
Yes, creepy flowery covers are the best! I especially love the one of Her Wicked Roots and Hemlock & Silver.
There’s something about them, and I want to read every single one!
The Brood! That brings back great memories of the very creepy but fantastic old X-Men comic book storyline about a parasitic alien species that hatch inside their host. One of them gets inside Wolverine.
Oh wow, now you’ve made me even more curious about The Brood!
Love your theme and I love all of the covers so hard to pick a favourite but based on how I gasped when I saw The Works of Vermin I’ll say that. Added it to my tbr it sounds SO creepy. Blood on her Tongue is a close one though!
I’m definitely interested in The Works of Vermin, not just for the cover but the story sounds very weird:-)
Creepy flower covers are so cool! I love them, too.
There are so many of them too:-)
These are fabulous! When I was doing my spring covers TTT and looking for flowers on the cover, I had one I read last year (The Garden by Clare Beams) that was too dark for my purposes, but I think it would fit here!
I do remember The Garden, yep it would have fit in nicely:-)
Love the creepy flower covers, what a fun take on the theme! Her Wicked Roots is so haunting.
I love that you went with creepy flowery covers! That’s so fun. I’m especially intrigued by Her Wicked Roots and The Brood.
The Brood is one of my favorite of these:-)
They are flowery and creepy! Perfectly you Tammy or more your reading tastes (I don’t mean that you are creepy or flowery )
Ha ha I know what you mean. They definitely fit my reading vibe:-)
Oh my gosh! This vibe! I’m checking out every single one of these.
They all sound good, right?
They do!
Yes, I love your take on this week’s topic!
Thanks Lauren!
I love floral covers too. I don’t necessarily prefer the creepy ones but I have fallen for a few memorable ones in the past. I’m not sure which my favourite is. I love that The Great Work looks almost luminous and the cleverly designed snake on Hemlock & Silver though. I’m also going to have to check out the premises of the first two as they’ve really caught my eye.
I’m always drawn to flower covers no matter the genre. Luckily there are a lot of them!
These are great. I think you could have added “Eat the Ones You Love” although I guess it is technically a plant. I see a few here I need to check out and already have copies of Blood on Her Tongue, The Library of Hellebore and The Great Work. Love you spin on this topic!
That’s a great suggestion too. Honestly, I could have kept going!
Excellent work. They are creepy and yet lovely.

Thanks Anne, I was surprised how many there are.
I have noticed there’s been a huge influx of flowery or forest/jungle themed covers laterly!
It’s a very trendy cover trope right now for sure!
Lol love your take on it. Honeyeater is a gorgeous cover.
It’s one of my favorites too:-)
Love this take on the theme, it’s so creepy
I think Hemlock & Silver is probably my favourite but they’re all great.
I love the snake on the cover, you really have to look closely to see it:-)
Our Gifted Hearts is so pretty!
I saw another blogger who chose flowers and horror
Oh cool, I didn’t see that post but I’m not surprised!
They all are so beautiful! (And creepy!!) Choosing just one is damn hard, but I think I will go with Honeyeaters!
I think that’s my favorite too:-)
Yesss I love this! I only want the flowers if they’re creepy! This is my favorite cover post ever tbh. I cannot decide which I like best!
Haha I love the way you went about that and the title to this blog post. I’m looking forward to reading Hemlock & Silver
