I voted, but somehow I'm always in the minority. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I've always been different...

You choose interesting covers, thanks for the contest.

The Witchfinder covers are fantastic :) I'm an adult and I turn my Dawn of the Demontide cover over as I don't want it looking at me whilst I am sleeping!!

I'm such a scaredy cat - all of these covers are a bit frightening - my teenage daughter loved them!

I love the Witchfinder cover. I've never read any but I'm going to be looking for the series now! Great competition!!!

I voted, and it appears my choice was least favorite - does that prove my wifes declaration that I have no taste?

I went for Mortal Coil. For me - it stands a mile above the rest.

Have voted for Darren Shan. Love his books and can't wait to read this one :)

Darren Shan is maybe the most best fictional writer ever who inspired me to read. I Hope he wins cause he changed my life with his books. And Birth of a Killer is his best yet.
