For the 3rd year in a row we're doing a Cover Contest! But this year we're doing things a little bit differently. This year we're looking for participants to take a cover of any book that they like and re-create it into something spooky! Something fitting for Halloween. Change up the title to something scary, let your imagination take over jumping in feet first to the darker side of things.
So, let us see what lurks in your creative... dark side and what book you think might just have an evil twin.
