The design he came up with is below. Within horror there are many sub-genres, including cosy, extreme, folk, literary, etc. There is a coding for these in cover art also, for example extreme/splatterpunk often have cartoonish grotesque painting. My book is in the psychological/literary horror genre so the cover hints at a slow-burn book. I love the theme of seven (there are 7 recluse rules), and the coding of objects that arise in the novel. If you’re so inclined, you can pre-order the book...
