There are some really good covers for this one and some of them scary indeed. Your least favourites I completely agree with. I love your favourite too – although that first cover gives me the shivers.

I feel like it’s not really possible to be scared by a book cover, so creepy is good 🙂 And these are def creepy. The ones that are just WEIRD are the creepiest. But my actual fave to look at is the last one!

It always amazes me how many different covers books have and I agree that these are super creepy. The two you picked would be my top choices as well, especially the black and white one on the left.

The one for the Kindle version in 2017 has GOT to be one of the creepiest versions for Brave New World, but also the one you picked as well.

I liked the kindle cover cuz it was subtly creepy, at first glance its not too bad, but the more you look at it the worse it gets!

wow I gotta read Brave New World! Look at those covers! Love all of them I’ll have to agree with you, though. That’s the best cover! Brit anything that has a steampunk vibe, I adore 🙂 I love the egg shells one too!

Haha Brave New World is not a book I normally recommend to people. I didn’t hate it when I had to read it for High School, but I didn’t love it either. I don’t remember there being anything in the book that was steampunk, tho I read it before Steampunk really took off. And I liked the egg shells cover too!

Wow! Probably a lot of research went into it!
