talk about handy

What's the deal with this recent trend in book cover art involving hands? Just...HANDS. Sort of disembodied almost, or at least alone. Lone hands.

Albeit great, eye-catching cover art; it's vivid; it's memorable. But HANDS? And so many of them at once. A hand epidemic.

Note to self: If (knock wood) this stuff I've been writing turns into another published novel someday, no hands on the cover. Hands off. It's creepy. Reminds me of the Six Feet Under episode "The Foot."
