Before a single sentence is read, a book has already spoken. Its cover sets the mood, hints at the world inside, and makes a promise - sometimes loud, sometimes subtle to the reader holding it. A great cover doesn’t explain the story; it suggests it. Through color, typography, texture, and image, it asks a question: Do you want to come in? Our artists have reinterpreted the covers for one of their favorite books. Enjoy!

“I love this book because it’s a crucial, pioneering work in literary history. Published in 1928, it is the first English-language queer novel, portraying the queer experience with extraordinary sensitvity and courage.” -

“Blackouts by Jusin Torres and its hazy storytelling continue to wash over me. The book's portrayal of queer people is reverent and tangible, and it captures how our lives and identities are often expressed through concealing and revealing, like the blackout poetry of one of its characters, Juan Gay. My reimagined cover illustration draws on these connections.” ́- Michael Hoeweler

"I chose The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as this was one of the first books i ever read of my own voliton. As a teenager I didn't really like books, (mainly due to the type of books we were forced to read at school) But I somehow picked up this book and realized that books could be funny, silly, and take you on an imaginary journey around the universe. I recently re-read it and realized what aninfluence Douglas Adams's writing has been on my own books." - John Devolle
