the title is biased ,even without picking the book the cover would have divided two readers into two ,the one wanting the horror scenes ,and the one who doesn't what ,the cover is straight forward for horror lovers readers

the actor is self oriented on clue he is giving readers on insight story about horror scenes, to me without wasting time cover page alone will lured me into an attempt of opening inside for elusive story

First of all i am also big fan of this kind of horror story when we see this cover page of this book we get attracted and we feel that we should have to read this story because the cover page is too good.
and the main thing is that the writer of the book because it really matters that who has written this book and this book looks awesome by its cover page and the author of this book.

The author makes you think that the story is not a horror story and that creates more attention as the target reader of the author will increase because the picture makes you pique your curiosity

The Ghost in itself was suffice to create a fearful impression about the book. Yes it was a recipe for me reading this novel.

I would say that I actually liked the Scream movies enough to do so.

It also intrigues my interest. When I first saw the cover before reading the book's description, I was surprised. I thought that they have actually gotten around to novelizing the movie, and that got me excited.

But even when it's not exactly what I expected in the end, I think that it is still an effective cover if it makes people curious enough to check out the book somehow.

The decision as to read the book or not depends on the genre preferences of the reader. If a book cover that looks horror is preferred by the reader it is likely he/she will choose it and vice versa

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but if it's eye-catching I am more likely to spot it on a bookshelf. The title and book cover did intrigue me enough to give it a go. Although once I started reading it I found it wasn't to my taste, the cover did its job well.
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon

Ghostface Has a lot of reviews.. More lists with this book. ... I read it five times before I felt I could continue. ... you in its sinfully sexy clutches and does not let you back up for air until the very end! I would say the name doesn’t work for the following script behind it.

Everything on the cover was intriguing to me, including the the title and the image of "ghost face". Unfortunately, it was misleading and inappropriate. I would rethink the cover.
