New Covers for Elana Johnson’s Possession books
Exciting news!
During Rachael Harrie’s Writer’s Platform-Building Campaign I met Elana Johnson, the author of POSSESSION.
That’s not the exciting news, though. This is:
Elana’s novel POSSESSION has received a cover redesign leading up to the release of her next book SURRENDER.
But it’s not one of those redesigns where you wonder why they redesigned the cover. Nope – it’s a subtle alteration to the original cover. It manages to keep the original essence intact, while adding depth to it.
See what I mean? POSSESSION’s Cover:
While I liked the original white cover with the symbol in the middle, I prefer the new version with the colour gradation even more. See the cover for SURRENDER too:
I’ve never been sure how to feel about publishers changing a cover. While I definitely never thought the covers needed a change, this subtle enhancement Simon & Schuster have given these titles adds a depth to them I didn’t realize they were lacking.
Congratulations Elana – the covers are gorgeous.
SURRENDER will be released on June 05 2012. Plenty of time to read POSSESSION if you haven’t.
What do you think of cover redesign? What about these specific covers?

Oooh, I like those covers a lot!
Changing covers can be hit or miss for me. Some changes I really dislike (the shift from the hardcover to paperback versions of Cindy Pon’s Silver Phoenix immediately come to mind) but others I really like (love the trade paperback cover of Joe Abercrombie’s Best Served Cold).
Me too
Yeah, I never really understand the redesign unless they’re bringing out a new edition or something.
I’ve always appreciated the simplistic symbolism for the book covers. But I like these changes. A great enhancement to an already beautiful cover.
I agree. I think they were good before, but better now
I like it! It really does add more depth
Much more and yet so subtly.
Wow! I LOVE those. How beautiful!!!
I’m so glad people like them
