Hi all!
Welcome to another Top 5 Saturday Reads meme. It was created by the lovely Mandy over at Devouring Books as a way to share books that we would love to read.
This week’s topic is: Scariest Book Covers. I’m just going to admit that I don’t read horror or watch horror. I’m proud to admit that I’m a complete and utter wimp at heart! The scariest thing I could honestly think of for this week’s topic was: CLOWNS. They freaking terrify me.
I have not, nor will I ever, read these books. But suffice to say – they’re the scariest covers I could imagine! Give me gore any day over these creepily made-up faces!
// have you read any of these books? do you also hate clowns? //
I am not afraid of clowns – but these covers are definitely creepy! I’m reading IT in-between my TBR reads atm – I do love me some horror 🙂 Great cover choices for this post!

The second and third covers are definitely some scary clown usage. I’m (luckily) not too afraid of clowns but I can imagine ‘It’ would be truly terrifying to watch/read for one who is.

I haven’t ever read/seen ‘It’ and I’m pretty sure I never will 😛 You’re so lucky that they don’t scare you! I’m sure you would have enjoyed circuses a lot more as a kid than I did!

I used to be absolutely terrified of clowns. I had an experience that changed that fear. I hurt somebody’s feelings for being afraid of them. Anyways, I’m ashamed I only know of one of these books. I’ll have to check the rest of them out.

You know… in all my years of being scared of them I’ve never considered how it might affect them. That’s so ignorant of me! Majority of them (the non-evil ones) must genuinely worry about how people see them because of the stigma. Thanks for opening my eyes to that! I hope you enjoy some of these if you read them 🙂

I never really understood the clown fear. I watched IT as a kid and it just kind of bored me honestly…. I WAS terrified by The Ring and Amityville Horror. But It was just long and I fell asleep bc I was bored.

You’re lucky to not fear them! I saw a trailer for The Ring once and was like ‘NOPE’. I’m a big chicken when it comes to anything scary 😛

God yes, clowns are the worst! I can’t imagine a time when kids actually thought they were anything other than nightmare incarnates. I like all the covers on your list, but my favorite is the one for ‘The Pilo Traveling Show.’ :O
