Bag of Bones by Stephen King..question

[LEmama]

Just finished the book and loved it. But...who is the female character pictured on the front cover (U.S. hardback)? Thanks is advance.

Is it a woman in a headscarf, and she's screaming?

[LEmama]

Hi...yes that is the one. I thought that with her thin face and sharp features, it might be Rogette. Yet she does not seem a likely cover character. I posted this question on the Stephen King message board and got one reply so far...poster thinks it Sara. That does not seem right to me either.

[Valkyrie9]

I'm pretty sure it is Sara--thinking about the scene in the cabin toward the end where she really unleashes her anger, I can see her screaming like that. Plus, the head scarf seems like the artist's nod to her African-American lineage...

[LEmama]

I got two other repiles and everyone agrees that it is Sara. The facial features just don't look at all like I imagined. It's a great, creepy book cover though! Thanks for your reply!

I loved the line "I'm your little guy, now." I read it years ago, and that still pops into my head. I'm reading King's new book of short stories. It is wonderful. I don't even like horror, but he is such an amazing storyteller.

I say it's Sara too though not how I imagine her. I have a very well-worn paperback copy of this book at home. I pick it up often. This is probably my favorite King book.
