Expect Emotions: Create cover for this book: "# **Annotation for *Where Dusk Devours the Sun*** ### *By Echidna* --- ### **In the heart of the unforgiving frontier, truth is a fragile thing—easily forged, easily erased. But some men are willing to bleed to keep it alive.** The year is 1883, and the American West is drowning in dust, deceit, and dying embers of law. In a land where the past can be rewritten with the stroke of a pen and the crack of a rifle, **Caleb Marsden**—a hardened gunslinger with a shadowed past—is thrust into a conspiracy that threatens not just his life, but the very fabric of history itself. Alongside him rides **Theodore Bloom**, a fever-ridden scholar whose discovery of a forged ledger could topple powerful men. Their journey is a desperate one—haunted by the relentless agents of the **Children of the Ashen Sun**, a secretive cult that bends truth and time to its will. Fleeing across barren deserts and bloodstained trails, they find reluctant allies in **Wilma Dillon**, a widow with an iron will, and her sharp-eyed son, **Ash**. Together, they forge a path toward **Camino Falls**, where the last embers of justice flicker in a courthouse barely standing against the corruption closing in. But as bullets fly and betrayals mount, the cult’s true master emerges from the darkness—a man whose name is whispered in fear and reverence alike. **Regulus.** A shadow in the west, a phantom who shapes history with his own hands. More than a mere outlaw or fanatic, Regulus is the architect of a false world, where truth is a weapon wielded only by those who know how to manipulate it. And he has one final task: to ensure that neither Marsden nor Bloom ever reach their destination. As the sun bleeds across the sky in their final stand, Marsden must confront not just the men hunting him, but the weight of his own past. The gunslinger has lived long enough to know that legends are not written by the righteous—but if sacrifice is the price of truth, then he will pay it in full. ### **A brutal and gripping tale of redemption, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of truth, *Where Dusk Devours the Sun* is a novel where the West is not just wild—it is terrifyingly rewritten before your eyes.** Perfect for fans of *Blood Meridian*, *The Revenant*, and *The Power of the Dog*, this novel combines the brutal beauty of a classic Western with the creeping dread of psychological horror and the high-stakes tension of a crime thriller. It is a story of history itself being rewritten—and of the lone men and women who dare to defy the ink of the damned. --- **Ride into the darkness. Face the black sun. Some truths are worth dying for.**" It should look like something like cover of Blood Meridian but with name ECHIDNA and other things on the cover

Design Concept

Original Book Cover For
Visual Composition:

The cover features a desolate and barren western landscape drenched in deep, apocalyptic hues of blood-red, orange, and black. The horizon is dominated by a massive, dark, and ominous sun sinking into the earth, its edges bleeding into the sky like tendrils of ink. Silhouetted in the foreground is a lone gunslinger figure, facing away from the viewer, with his rugged hat brim and a long coat billowing in the wind. Behind him is a faint outline of the cult’s sigil—a fragmented, ash-like sun symbol layered subtly over the mountains. Dust and smoke blur parts of the scenery, creating an eerie and foreboding atmosphere that evokes dread and tension. The title takes center stage, appearing almost as though it’s branded or burned onto the cover, with glowing orange embers flickering around the letters.

Design Typography:

A bold, serif font similar to vintage Western posters but overlaid with a distressed, charred texture to evoke the feeling of something burned and destroyed. The author’s name, "ECHIDNA," is placed at the bottom in an angular, commanding block font, colored in ashen gray that stands out starkly against the darker background. The title typography in reddish-gold is slightly larger and centered in the upper middle, balancing the composition with an intense, eye-catching glow.

Design Layout:

The gunslinger silhouette dominates the lower center of the cover, maintaining clean symmetry with the dark sun in the upper portion. Title typography takes the top-middle quadrant prominently, while subtle foreground details like cracked earth and bullet cartridges litter the bottom edges of the design. The cult sigil blends into the environment, harmonizing with the eeriness of the blurring dust but not overpowering the main elements. The back cover fades into a continuation of this dusty landscape, ideal for the summary text to sit cleanly.

Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition captures the hybrid genre of horror and Western by fusing desolation, intense apocalyptic hues, and thematic imagery. The dark sun symbolizes both the plot’s central cult and its foreboding and transformative power, directly tying into the novel’s title. The gunslinger silhouette acts as a narrative anchor, embodying Caleb Marsden's loneliness and the bleak, rugged danger of the world he inhabits. Typography’s vintage Western aesthetic blends seamlessly with the horror branding through its distressed finish, while glowing embers amplify the dramatic, high-stakes tone. Materials like matte stock with spot UV detailing provide a tactile experience that draws readers to interact with the book physically, making it not just a visual but a sensory representation of the story.
