From looking at these covers it is clearly apparent that certain elements are consistent throughout. Themes that appear apparent are that of blood splatters, as almost every book cover contains this element. Photographical pieces work well as they effectively state that this book is based upon true events, whereas the illustrative style appears far more fictional. One book that stands out to me within this collection is that containing the landscape, as it expresses a bleak, eerie setting.
