Will fit perfectly next to Mr. Mercedes on the book shelf.
Pretty cool! If you look closely at the written words it is the opening chapter of the next Dark Tower novel.
Just kidding!
Just kidding!
You had me going for a very tiny, miniscule Milli-second. If only because of the hidden stuff in the last few covers. *embarrassed*
I love how it ties in with the Mr. Mercedes cover.
...I am going to be in the minority again, but I just am completely underwhelmed...given the body of great cover art that exists for most all of his novels, this one is another in a recent run of "meh" for me...
I love it! Makes perfect sense to have it "match" Mr. Mercedes.
You're not completely alone-- I like it, but it could definitely be better. It's not as bad as Revival's cover though.
Whose journal is that? Is it a journal? I can't wait to read Finders Keepers

Here's the official Scribner synopsis which should answer your question
“Wake up, genius.” So begins King’s instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, a Salinger-like icon who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.
Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Sauberg finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he’s released from prison after thirty-five years.

Oh! It's one of Rothstein's notebooks, thanks
Finders Keepers is going to be really good!
Yes. That's one reason I like it so much. I also love the simplicity of it.
I am so excited for this one. I really liked Mr. Mercedes, and anxious for a new story with recurring characters.
I was very disappointed in both Dr. Sleep and Revival, but did enjoy Mr. Mercedes. I too am looking forward to this one.
I don't care for it. It looks exactly like what it is. Something a marketing exec at S&S believes serves as a suitable cover for a mainstream best seller. None of the recent covers have been anything other than awful in my opinion. I've liked the UK covers much better which is a new trend.
Heh! Said elsewhere that I'd been reading a pile of John D MacDonald paperbacks. I've wondered what the wife thinks about them as they all...most...look like the proverbial crotch-rocket novel. Dame in stilettos, man's shirt, just a man's shirt, looking over her shoulder. Or one of the classics, a dame in a swimsuit. That looks like Ma's panties? Yeee-eeeew! She hasn't said anything, though...I wonder if she's picked one up to see just w.t.f. I've been reading.
I like the notebook, the longhand...blood? Yeah, I imagine there'll be blood, we all bleed, some more than others. Thank Allah for that! Or the writer, one. Lookin forward to it...the kindle version probably has a cover, but what I care about is the text and whether it shakes and bakes, rattles and rolls.
