The second cover was originally meant as one of the many internal illustrations, though we think it makes a very effective cover. It depicts Murdeth, one of the soulless bureaucrats who do the Impress's bidding, processing the human "material." Both still need a touch of tweaking, but we're not sure what to go with: might take both to the proofing stage at the printer to see what looks most effective.
Thoughts?

They're both great, but I vote for #1--the openness of the street surrounded by lowering houses seems to pull the reader innnnnnn....

Hey, my word verfication is "alitmg"--almost "a lit mag"!!
I would read the first one, but probably not the second. So I'm with the Rosenblum.
(And my word verif is galstia)
I think if you went with Number 2, you might have to change up the colour of the title: it's getting a little lost against the intricate background. Both are pretty spooky and intriguing. This is tough. If I were in the store, I might find the second too spooky to pick up because I'm a wuss, so if you want wusses and non-wusses alike to pick it up, I suggest #1 as well...
(dingsly!)
Have thought some more-- not only would I read number 1, but I love it.

My scientifically chosen focus group (the kids) chooses #1.
I DEFINITELY would go with # 1 . # 2 seems a little too goulish for the cover.
# 1 intrigues.
