Have to go with Duma Key here. Front and back of the cover, it is a fully realized picture that is beautiful and terrifying at the same time. I can actually feel the malevolence building in the distance.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Desperation. It's just perfect. And I also love how they connected it to The Regulators.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I absolutely love some of the others, but my vote went with the Night Shift cover; an old favorite.
Desperation, I love the cover
Desperation
I love the entire cover, but I am especially enamored of the doll in the foreground, its red eye bulging out toward the reader and its green eye staring blankly into nothingness. That element alone perfectly captures the emotion conveyed by the word desperation: no child willingly parts with a much beloved toy.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

Sam and I have been on the same wavelength all day!
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
QWere going neck to neck on this one!Q
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I like the Just After Sunset cover as well. At first I wasn't too sure about it, but it's grown on me.
And the Duma Key cover I love everything with the one exception of the canvas with the stuff jumping out of it. I don't know, for some reason that just really turned me off. I wish they had omitted that, and maybe stuck Perse off in the background.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

Desperation
The canvas in the corner is my favorite part of the cover for Duma Key. It seems very much like Dali, who was the main artistic inspiration.

Go Desperation!

A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
