It's like a Jacqueline Susann fever dream.

This new image for CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY looks at the children at the centre of the story, and highlights the way Roald Dahl's writing manages to embrace both the light and the dark aspects of life, ready for Charlie's debut amongst the adult titles in the Penguin Modern Classics series.

Among the many things that creep me out about this cover is the fact that the child bears a striking resemblance like JonBenet Ramsey.

If I could post a gif of Eastwood shuddering right now, I would.

Or maybe just one of those overused Gene Wilder/Wonka memes belittling it.

Creepy. Absolutely creepy. It's like Stepford Wives in Helvetica. Creepy!

The book itself is creepy as hell, read properly. Celebrate!
