BOOK NEWS AND COVERS: An Evil Seed
After writing about Joanne Harris yesterday for the Spotlight series, I came across what I thought was a new book of hers released in paperback this September. However, after checking through her bibliography again I see The Evil Seed is, in fact, the first book she had published in 1989 (I knew I recognised the title). Obviously they are now re-releasing it with a new cover.
The one on the left is (one of) the old covers and the one on the right is the new one.

I just hate it when publishers "repackage" an older book - especially when I fall for it and buy the thing only to realize I've already read it. The only thing worse is when you get what you think is a new book by a fav author to find out that it is a "previously unpublished" work - which is code for "we thought this stunk the first time around, but now that the author is famous, we'll sell anything with her name on it." But that's a whole other rant...
