Brazilian Illustrator Reimagines Famous Love Songs As Creepy Book Covers By Stephen King

Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love songs into book covers of horror master Stephen King. Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart," The Smiths, "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears, and many other famous songs were portrayed in a very unusual way.
"This series imagines an alternate universe where some of the most desperate and tragic romantic songs in the '70s and '80s are actually horror books written by Stephen King. The concept is to look at the dark side of love by the vision of pop culture, bringing aspects of its classic stories to play the true meaning of the songs - this can be completely subverted or stressed strangeness while paying tribute to the vintage book cover designs of the original horror stories," Butcher writes on his Behance.

I've always said this song is really creepy, it doesn't need a creepy book cover! D:
Louis Vuitton purse eh? Brings new meaning to "it'll cost an arm and a leg"
wow ... mind blown ... it never occurred to me that Pink Floyd sang love songs! Now I'll have to listen to all their old records with a new understanding of what they were singing about (Comfortably Numb, Brain Damage, Run Like Hell ... it's all becoming clear now)
It was used as a theme song in a play called Dance of the Vampires with the one and only Michael Crawford they totally could've done that
Did Roy Orbison ever do this song? I was thinking just the other day how he would have totally slayed it.
Seriously, I can see this as being a novella. Say it starts out with happy couples in a small town and goes Beauty and the Beast in reverse. I want royalties if this happens!
This is already a Stephen King book. The Ramones song was part of the movie soundtrack.
This might be the best article on here. Keep it up dude this is f****ing sick
Oh these are so good! Chills from some of them
With the book pictures all these titles now sound like episodes of Tales from the Crypt
"Tainted Love" - Once I rean to you, now I run from you...
