movie tie-ins or novelizations usually had the worst covers, but signet's version of the omen was nicely done

http://www.bookitinc.com/pictures225/984804.jpgThis is actually pretty good (I'm a big Bainbridge fan), about two girls who decide to kill an adult--based on the same true story as inspired Heavenly Creatures

That's very effective, looks like the girls next door in my 70s neighborhood. Wonder if the idea for that Salem's Lot ocver came from the original jacket of White Light White Heat: plain black 'til tilted, when a l'il skull could be seen. Think Reed or Cale said the cover was a photo of a biker's tattoo.
