Who Could That Be at This Hour? comes out October 23rd. Yesterday, Mr. Snicket kindly revealed the cover with the following statement:
Judging a book by its cover is like judging a person for their crimes. You can examine the evidence, but you can never known the truth.
Hmmm… not sure what he wanted us to think about that comment. To take it seriously? Is he seeking out cover judgements? Is it a hint that his book will have to do with judging people for their crimes? Gotta love that Lemony Snicket. And I do, in fact, very much like this cover! What do ink bottles, a seahorse stamp (statue?), and a man falling (diving?) off a cliff have to do with each other??
