Creepy cover, and I like it!
My first impression is always the cover. There is nothing about this cover that says pirates. I love this cover. It gives the books a dark and horror feeling. It seems simple, but at the same time deep and complicated. If I had not read the blurb and intro bits, I would never have guessed it was aboard a ship. I love a good pirate tale so we shall see how this one comes about.
