They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but of course that’s exactly what we do. Regardless of the quality of writing, cover art can make or break a book. Imagine seeing a book with the above cover. I don’t know about you, but hot damn, I want to read that book! All the art in this collection of Mexican pulp cover art are worth a look, so click on the woman with the pig to go see.
Book covers that grab you by the throat

Eileen Maksym studied philosophy at Yale and theology at Boston College, and now uses both to write science fiction. Currently she is an academic nomad, following her astrophysicist husband around the world, two kids in tow. When not writing or kid wrangling, Eileen is a hopeless fangirl. She can be found on Twitter (@eileenmaksym) squeeing over her favorite shows, most of which involve famous detectives, dashing time travelers, and creatures that are never, ever referred to as zombies.

Those are awesome, Eileen! I think I could lose myself for a couple of hours looking at them.
I know, right? I think I might buy the books for the covers alone.
