An image in halves; the top is the cover of "Killer on the Road," and the bottom is the cover of "The Babysitter Lives," each part of a single printed book, a double novel by Stephen Graham Jones. Each novel is oriented right side up, so that it must be flipped when switching from one novel to the other, and reads from its cover toward the middle.
