The title, too, was a bit intimidating at first. I didn't really know what "unspeakable" territory I was entering into.

I hope you enjoyed it if you did read it.MerryLove wrote:The cover actually kept me from reading the book for awhile! It is very creepy, and lead me to believe that this book might a bit too scary for my usual taste.

Firstly, the title is intriguing. Readers will immediately be drawn in by the air of mystery surrounding the title, as they want to learn what the "unspeakable acts" are. I believe this appeals more to people who enjoy the horror or supernatural genre due to this title and also the presence of a levitating, photorealistic girl on the front cover. The scene depicted is quite gruesome, and the knife really draws your intention, the harsh reds telling us that this was a recent murder, or that blood has been spilled recently, a contrast to the tattered look of the house and the levitating girl. The subtitle also adds to the reader's desire to want to discover the unspeakable acts as they learn that the novel is about investigation and will thus lead to some answers.
That's about all I can gather at a glance really! I'd need to read the book before making any deeper analysis

Thank you! ?wasif_ahmed wrote:"Never judge a book by its cover". This may be a widely known saying but most.people (even me) still do. And the cover for this book was very apt. A horror loving person will definitely.be tempted to lay his or her hands on this book by just looking at it. The title suited the book perfectly as well.

Thank you! ?crystalr wrote:I honestly really like this cover. I think it has a "Supernatural" sort of feel to it, and although it's pretty creepy and eerie, I think it's very cool. And the title just makes me think, "What are these unspeakable acts that are going to take place?", makes me curious about the content of the novel.
