Why Ghostface?
Does the association have any tie-in to the films? Or could it have been *any* kind of mask/image for the killer in the book?

I thought it detracted from the story. I didn't think it had anything to do with Scream, but in my opinion it is an overused image and does not signify anything specific about the book, so why use it?M Zee wrote: ↑01 Dec 2018, 19:31 Considering how closely the iconic mask is associated with the Scream films, do you think using the image (and the masked killer of the same name) on the book cover helps the book?

That's really interesting! If he did help to create it then I can understand why he'd use it for the cover, even if it is tied to a different franchise it's also a part of him in a wayVscholz wrote: ↑02 Dec 2018, 22:17 According to the author's bio on Amazon, he helped create/design the mask. It makes sense that he would use what might be his most widely known design. Even though it is primarily associated with the Scream franchise, I don't know that the author could get the same reaction with a different cover. Or maybe he is trying to reclaim it in some way?
