I mean you can barely read the title of the book. And it’s my least favorite, it just looks bad when you compare it to the other covers, lol. This is pretty, I like the silhouette of the wolf and the cloudy sky. Not sure what language this is in, because Goodreads isn’t telling me. I like this cover too! I’m assuming this book is long out of print, but someone decided to publish a digital edition. I really like this cover as well, and I really like the way they did the title treatment. Now this wolf looks scary! He doesn’t actually look much like a wolf.

That wolf doesn’t look very scary, though (except for the collar he’s wearing!) and I just want to pet him… Back to the cover, this is definitely my favorite of the bunch. Anyway, he’s such an underrated author and I think I have quite a few of his books. I must have met Somtow because it’s signed! LOL I don’t remember. I just checked, and this is the edition I own. Sounds good, right? Surprisingly I could only find a few covers, take a look: It’s a werewolf story that takes place in the 1800s and is about a group of Vietnamese immigrant werewolves. Set against a brilliant panorama of European expansion into the West in the late 1800s, Moon Dance is the horrifying tale of the illegitimate son of the Count von Bachl-Wolfling, leader of a pack of Viennese werewolves, and of the boys all-too-human governess, Speranza. Somtow is a book I read years ago and I definitely need to reread at some point. I think this is meant to be a sci-fi prompt for Vintage SciFi Month, but I’ve decided to go with a horror title, since I’m on a horror kick at the moment! Moon Dance by S.P. Somtow 5.0 (3) Paperback 27. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme! This week’s theme: A book with “moon” in the title.

You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Somtow (Moon Dance, etc.) can't quite make up its mind whether it's sending up the genre or playing it straight. The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme.
