CREEP cover art! For real this time!

Finally. My cover for CREEP is here.

Click to enlarge to full size

So obviously I’m biased, but I think they knocked this out of the park! I’m thrilled (pun intended). I think this cover is icy and bold and not remotely girly. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Interestingly, it’s pretty much the same cover as what they showed me back in January, but the background color has changed (the original had some gold in it), and the red has since been made more vibrant (the original red had a “tarnished” look to it). And they added the Deaver quote (for his full blurb, click HERE).

I love it.

    You know I loved it! I gushed over it for weeks and still do as I'm showing it off to friends!

    The book is amazing and I'm excited to scream it to the ROOFTOPS!!

    Yay! I can finally put the cover on my blog! Not that your face isn't stunning to look at, but you know…

    BTW, I finished reading CREEP and OMFG! Totally in love and inspired!!! I've always loved thriller/suspense/mystery type books (Koontz is my all time fave) and after reading your book (and having lots of restless nights of bizarre dreams) I began writing a YA thriller that I'm very, very excited about. My stories have always had a thriller/twist element, but for the first time, I'm writing one that doesn't have anything paranormal in it. Just a straight up thriller story, with drugs, sex, betrayal murder and a who done it twist.

    Congrats on the cover and on that AWESOME blurb from Jeffrey Deaver!! Will be doing a CREEP review soon on my blog!

    Many hugs!!

    Yay, love it! Very edgy. Congrats!

    Also, I just randomly clicked on your 10 fave Princess Bride quotes because it was sitting there enticingly in the "other things you might like" section. LOL! Gotta love that movie!

    Wow, I love it. It's like a grown-up, serious book cover with the blurb and all. How exciting. And I'm thinking the blurb on the second print run will read "NY times bestseller."

    It looks so good! I am one of those people who sometimes picks a book up just because of the cover (yes I sometimes judge a book by its cover) and I would for sure be picking yours up reading the first page and then strolling straight to the register! Actually I preordered it and I can not wait to read it! Congrats

    Good work, whoever did it. Poignant but understated. Warm (bloody) but cold (icy).

    I've been thinking about your debut novel a lot lately. After reading the synopsis, I must admit it was one of the more intriguing premises I've seen for a thriller in a while. And that's saying something!

    So, needless to say I'm totally hyped up now that we've seen the cover. Woo-hoo! 🙂 I'm so happy for you, Jen.

    That, my dear, is an incredible cover. I'd definitely snap it up on a whim – if I wasn't planning on buying a copy already. =o)
