“Feed me Seymour.”
This weeks theme: A cover that is 60s horror.
My Choice: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I don’t exactly know what 60s horror is? So I am going to give it my best shot!
Covers:
Lets start with the covers that were actually released in the 60S:
Airmont Publishing 1964 | Bantam Books 1967 | Minster 1968 | Aerie Books 1968
There are over 3.5K editions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde so I randomly picked some that I think look like “60s Horror”
Troll Communications 1993 | Art & Culture Publishing | Anaya 1981 | New English Library 1975
Aerie Books | Dover Publications 1991 | Wisehouse Classic 2015 | Folio 2003
ATOZ Classics 2018| Acclaim Books 1997| Evans Brothers 2001 | Top Five Books 2014
İthaki Publications 2019 | Collins Crime Club 2015 | Createspace Independent 2017 | Oldcastle Books 2015

This one is probably the least 60s horror esque of the bunch, but I really like the way it shows that both are the same person!
Which is your favorite? Do you agree with my choice? Let me know in the comments!!
Perfectly Tolerable 
Completely agree with you about the Ithaki Publications’ cover! It’s so captivating!! I still haven’t read this book… Jen

It is super captivating!! I had to read this one as a required reading in High School. I didn’t particularly like it, but I don’t tend to like this genre in general.

I love the art styles utilized on old 60s covers. Many of these are good examples of them. Usually the 2000s sleek reimaginings don’t compare.

Haha I usually like newer covers better 😂 At least newer covers are more likely to convince me to read a book! But I do like looking at all the covers!
