I think my book cover is too edgy and overloaded. In hindsight, it would have been better if I'd used an AI-generated image, but it just wouldn't have felt right for me, and for the book.

Besides, I had a look back at all those old school book covers of horror books from the 90s and 80s and I thought it was neat how they reflected what actually happened in the book, instead of the minimalism of today.
At the same time, I didn't want to reveal too much from the very start, losing the shock value.
Instead, I just got certain aspects which appeared in the book and put it all on the cover. The image was created using Krita's mirror tool, in an attempt to make it feel more uncanny.
