Top Ten Tuesday: Covers with Fog on the Cover


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Photo of a pine forest that is covered in fog. The forest is covering a large hill - or possibly a small mountain - so the trees further away from the fog are much clearer than the ones in the thick of it. This looks to be a hazy and overcast day even before the fog rolled in. Here’s a fun fact about me: I love foggy days so long as I don’t have to travel anywhere during them. (Driving in fog is too dangerous for me to ever look forward to it!)

There’s something poetic about seeing how this sort of weather blurs the edges of the buildings, trees, and other places I know so well when I can view it from the safety and comfort of home, though.

Here are ten books with foggy, misty, or otherwise hazy covers.

 

Book cover for The Mist by Stephen King. Image on cover shows the title spelled out in a thick white mist above a drawing of four people wearing protective gear walking through thick fog as they shine their lights to dimly illuminate the path before them. Above them there is a superimposed image of a white man covering his face with his hands and peeking out between his fingers in fear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. The Mist by Stephen King

 

Book cover for House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III. Image on cover is a black and white sketch of an old farmhouse at dusk. Fog is enveloping the land and blurring the house as well as the dry grasses growing tall beside it. This appears to be set in late autumn.

Book cover for The Prince of Mist (Niebla, #1) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Image on cover shows mist that has formed into the rough shape of a person. It is thick, white, and a little frightening.

Book cover for Fog Magic by Julia L. Sauer. Image on cover is a black and white sketch of a young girl standing outdoors on a very foggy day as she looks toward the small house her family has in the middle of a pine forest. She has long blond hair that is loosely braided, is wearing a flannel shirt, and is cuddling a baby raccoon strangely enough. She has a pensive expression on her face.

Book cover for The Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury. Image on cover shows an impressionist style painting of a lighthouse surrounded by very thick layers of fog. You can’t see the ocean or anything other than fog everywhere, a dim outline of the lighthouse, and a weak beam of light shining from the top of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. The Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury

 

Book cover for Mean Streak by Sandra Brown. Image on cover shows a photo of someone wearing a long black winter jacket and walking outside in the snow on a foggy day. Superimposed on this image is the side view of a white woman’s face as she stares off thoughtfully into the distance, although we cannot see what she sees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Mean Streak by Sandra Brown

 

Book cover for The Mist in the Mirror by Susan Hill. Image on cover shows a painting of several people walking down a town street on a very foggy day. You can’t see any identifying features for anyone, just their long, dark coats and the outlines of their heads. You can also see a horse pulling a carriage down the street but they, too, are distorted and blurred out by the thick and unyielding fog that makes everything look grey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. The Mist in the Mirror by Susan Hill

 

Book cover for Fog Island by Tomi Ungerer. Image on cover is a drawing of two children rowing in a boat next to a barren, tall rock island. It’s a very foggy day, so the sky is dark grey and everything in this scene is muted by how much fog is everywhere. You can only see basic outlines of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Fog Island by Tomi Ungerer

 

Book cover for The Fog by Kyo Maclear. Image the cover of this picture book is a drawing of a little Asian kid who is wearing a red rain jacket and peering at a yellow bird through binoculars outside on a foggy day. Adorably enough, the bird also has a pair of binoculars and is peering right back at her!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. The Fog by Kyo Maclear

 

Book cover for Sleepwalker in a Fog by Tatyana Tolstaya. Image on cover is a blurry photo of someone standing outside in a forest. It looks like they are surrounded by a layer of thick fog, although it could have also been created by overexposing the film. You can just barely make out the forest behind the person and the person themself who appears to be wearing a thick sweater and jeans as they wander around aimlessly and slightly hunched over.
