*in no particular order

10. MARY, WILL I DIE? by Shawn Sarles--so ever since the Supernatural of Blood Mary--back when it first premiered, that type of girl has scared me! Like the long hair that covers the face, of course here you see the face and it's still scary with her eyes! I guess it's that idea of not seeing the face that scares me!
9. GO HUNT ME by Kelly DeVos--so maybe not as scary, but the aspects are. Dracula's castle, a blood moon, dripping fangs within the title! The book was pretty creepy too and I loved it!
8. CURSED CRUISE by Victoria Fulton & Faith McClaren--still need to read this one but I loved their first book. This is two parts terrifying since it looks like there's a fire and part of the ship has broken off. Then yeah, there's the image of a skull!

7. HORSEMAN by Christina Henry--this is creepy in an eerie way, with the title you pretty much know what story you're getting and then you know, you see the horse without its rider!
6. NEVERWAKE by Amy Plum--going old school here! I always thought this one was chilling what with the distorted image, and the image of a carousel on the edge of a forest. That just screams creepy!
5. NO ONE CAN KNOW by Kate Alice Marshall--I always find big manors to be every eerie! I mean look at the book I am reading! Lol. There's definitely something creepy about a big ol manor because it has history and history always has its ghosts!

4. THE DEVOURING LIGHT by Kat Ellis--back to creepy manors again! But this one was deep in a forest with a swamp nearby! Extra chilling!
3. THE BOOK OF LIVING SECRETS by Madeline Roux--STILL need to read this one but this cover gave me the creeps which is why I picked it up! Lol. There's so much going on with it and it's all mysteriously creepy!
2. THE HAUNTED by Danielle Vega--old school again! This one always kind of creeped me out and it's not even lenticular! Lol. But that sort of distorted video vibe that makes you think it's moving always creeped me out and then again, the hair covering the face! Just super creepy!

1. THE DEAD HOUSE by Dawn Kurtagich--one of my favorite creepy covers! Big mysterious mansion, girl half in shadows, spooky trees...this cover was eye catching and chilling and the story inside...oh boy that was creepy too! LOVED IT! It was one of those "multimedia" storytelling vibes that are just so unique but I love it when an author makes it work!
