Remember the Twilight cover years?

Paste wonders, 'Why Does Every Romance Novel Have the Same Cartoon Cover Right Now?' and looks back on similar trends in the past.

Marketing shifts are hard to ignore and even harder to stay apart from when you’re pushing your product. When something is in, be it a genre or author, everyone else wants to keep up. Often, the easiest way to do so is a quick rebrand (it’s usually the cheapest way, too.) The cartoon cover is hardly the first example of this move either. When Twilight took over the world, many books, including some literary classics, got re-released with minimalist black, white, and red covers designed to deliberately evoke the iconography of Stephenie Meyer’s work. That’s how we ended up with copies of Wuthering Heights and Anne Rice’s back-catalog designed to be casually confused with the sparkly brethren they inspired. (Kayleigh Donaldson)

Oh, the Twilight cover years *shudders*.

Alta mentions Dave Eggers’s novel The Every.

In Dave Eggers’s chilling novel The Every, about a not-too-distant AI-fueled future, art is given the star treatment. And not in a good way. Everything is ranked, and also “liked,” kudoed, and condemned, by any and all consumers (“consumer” being anyone ingesting the so-called “content” of paintings, music, books, movies, etc., which is to say, everyone). It’s close enough to how things already work in the off-page real world to seem obvious, maybe even harmless. That is, until Eggers offers his characters the power to crowdsource edits to the liked, kudoed, and condemned. And just like that—poof!—there go “unlikable” characters such as, say, Grace Poole in Jane Eyre. Leaving feminist critics, and anyone who likes a ripping yarn, out of luck. Not to mention Charlotte Brontë rolling in her grave. (Bridget Quinn)
