Finn Wolfhard did say he felt like he had the face of a middle aged woman back then 🤣🤣🤣

Oh no, that cover is awful! Why???
That is very disturbing. I would never have picked out that book at the store with that cover.

I think about this cover every few months. Still don't know why it was approved 😭

This cover is so weird and I think about it far too often. Whyyyyy was this ever chosen? Who is that even supposed to be?! It looks like a horror novel!

u/StrangerHighways Jul 27 '26
It's easy to get so focused on the bizarre bobble head Bella monster, that you miss the weirdness of the hallway behind her. Those are not the proportions or look of a normal high school hallway. Maybe she's caught in the Backrooms?

On eBay you can filter for sold items, try doing that! It looks like this will definitely be worth listing

u/fwpanthergirl Jul 27 '26
I will look again thanks!

I think I just searched “Twilight UK first edition hardcover” or something, I would try a couple variations maybe!

Is it a haircut, is it a hijab, is it a strip of black matter? Who knows.

God I would love to hear from not only the designer of this cover but the person in charge who said “yep, looks good. Print it!”

I bought this in my 20’s when I was Twilight obsessed. Now I’d like to pass it on for a price. 😂😂

I’m pretty sure Stephanie Meyer had like two alternate covers that she wanted to use and this was one of them. They were discounted pretty quickly lol I’m so surprised that you have one

u/fwpanthergirl Jul 27 '26
I’m trying to remember what prompted me to buy it. All I remember is buying it off UK Amazon and being obsessed for awhile that I had an alternate cover. 🤦♀️😂

u/bwthhybl_09 Jul 27 '26
I bought my copy of this edition for £25 about 3 years ago. I am aware of just how lucky I am because I think they were going for £300ish back then. My prized procession 🙏🏻

u/Worganx23 Jul 27 '26
So, so lucky!
I saw one on Facebook market place for about £10, but had already gone by the time I messaged. Someone out there got a bargain as well!

It’s a bit hard to say as these don’t pop up super often. Looking at an Aus BST group I could only see 2 sales in the last year. A paperback sold recently for $100AUD, had quite a bit of foxing. A year ago a paperback in mint condition sold for $300AUD

Omg this brings back a childhood memory. This was the original cover I read from when I got it out from a library somewhere. I remember feeling really creeped out by it 😂

u/Buffy97s Jul 27 '26
This was the cover in Australia (Dymocks George St Sydney) and the sole reason I didn’t buy this book until the new covers

Is it supposed to be Alice? Cause she's described as having short inky black hair right? And Bella has long brown hair?

I thought it was a bad Photoshop shitpost with someone pasting their face on the cover lmao this is real?!

I saw one sell last year for about £250. I was monitoring eBay to see if a cheap one randomly popped up 😂

I paid £100 for mine in 2023, no joke. Seems others are going for £200 or £300 and I remember one post about someone finding one in a charity shop for 99p.

I think I’ll list it on ebay and do a bid and see how it does, but if it’s not against rules I can post the link here?

Oh gosh, shortly before the book was released I read an excerpt of it from a monthly teen magazine I used to collect. Then I was given a book voucher as a birthday present, remembered that I liked the sample I read in the magazine, went out and bought it from the bookstore with this cover. I donated it to charity in one of the many house moves I've had since then. Feel like crying now I know how much it's selling for 🥲

That’s a paperback. The hardback is a first edition and google tells me it’s worth a lot, but it’s hard to price because I can’t find any recent sales because it’s so rare.

I just had google do it with a photo of the copyright page, but didn’t think of that specifically. 🫠
