The cover features a torn and faded photograph with missing faces suspended prominently against a stark black background. The edges of the photograph appear burnt and frayed, suggesting a past fire or destruction. Threads or faint strings are visible, attempting to hold the torn photograph pieces together, evoking a sense of fragmented memory. The cover is lightly textured to mimic the feel of aged paper or worn out leather, adding depth to the design.

The book title is presented in a distorted, slightly glitched font, suggesting unease and an air of foreboding. The title font is bold yet erratic, with parts pixelated or fragmented, capturing the essence of psychological distress. The author’s name, Uzma Quraishi, is in a more subdued serif typeface, ensuring readability and maintaining an academic tone.

The photograph occupies the center space, creating a focal point that immediately draws attention. The distorted title is placed above the photograph in large lettering, with the edges slightly overlapping the photograph. Uzma Quraishi’s name is positioned below the photograph in a smaller, understated font. The overall alignment is vertically centered to give balance to the design and to maintain emphasis on the photograph.
