Sky Horror Book Cover Design (Evoking horror, sad, and scary)

Visuals: A shrouded figure emerging from an orange mist stands alone on a desolate, cracked gray ground. The mist seems alive, swirling eerily with dark tendrils. Behind the figure looms an ominous, crumbling, shadowed structure barely visible in a blackened sky streaked with faint orange veins that resemble bleeding scars. The figure’s hollow, glowing eyes create a ghostly focus point. Dead trees claw upward in the distance, framing the scene and adding to the atmosphere of desolation and fear.

Typography: The title, *Hollow Man*, is presented in jagged, eroded serif font, with cracks running through the letters, giving a "weathered stone" appearance. The author's name, *Fritz Gerald Yangco*, is in a minimalist sans-serif font, smaller, and placed just below the title. Both the title and the author’s name are in muted orange, slightly glowing, to stand out against the darker background.

Layout: The shrouded figure is center-aligned and occupies the middle third of the cover. The title is positioned at the top center, slightly overlapping the edge of the mist. The author’s name is located at the bottom center. Dead trees and swirling mist frame all sides, creating a balanced yet haunting frame for the primary visuals. Negative space is dominated by black with gray highlights.

Explanation: The visual composition highlights loneliness and fear by placing the shrouded figure in an empty, broken landscape, creating a sense of isolation. The mist and shadowed structure evoke infernal, mysterious energy, consistent with the horror genre. Orange veins and glowing eyes evoke both sadness and terror, enhancing the emotional impact. Typography choices complement the theme; the jagged title font suggests decay and unease, while the glowing orange ensures readability and connection to the visual elements. Matte materials with spot gloss on the mist and text add tactile contrasts, making the cover appear premium and immersive, heightening its eerie and scary aesthetic appeal.
