Two copies of a hardcover book like on a teal and black cloth. The covers say THE BOOK OF THE DEAD edited by Jonathan Strahan and illustrated by Galen Dara. The cover has an image of a spooky ghost-like figure with trailing hair and smoke in front of a full moon. It has a skull face and roses in its hair. Perhaps it is a ghost bride. The silhouette of a headstone is in the background.
