Link: Book Cover Cliches

[katekintailbc]

Ha. Not only are some of these overly dramatic book covers cliche... I was struck by how so many covers used the identical stock photo art. I particularly like the old fashioned woman with inexplicable random birdcage. And who knew there were so many stories that featured men lurking by fences (the most creative is, I think, the one with TWO fences. GASP!)

Also, I think I have at least one of those blokes wearing a hood and carrying a sword on Mt. TBR.

Bahaha, that is brilliant! I always love making connections and finding book twins. It's fun when cover designers use the same stock photos again and again. What is WITH the woman with the birdcage?? Why? Haha, we'll never know.
