cover studies: psf III

Early next week, we're finalizing the covers and interior pages of Philippine Speculative Fiction III (we're dropping the word "vol." and going with roman numerals) and preparing the package for our printer.

Here are two covers I feel strongly about, for different reasons. As seems to be tradition with these things, the cover does not reflect a particular story. I'm leaning toward the horroresque cover but am very attracted to the other one (in case you can't see it, it's a heart with a top hat).

Thoughts?
