The cover features a haunting night-time scene the surface of a dark, ominous lake is in the foreground, reflecting a crescent moon partially veiled by rolling clouds. Emerging from the depths is a ghostly, humanoid figure partly obscured by a tattered veil, with pale hands reaching toward the viewer. The surrounding trees are silhouetted, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
The title "The Girl Beneath the Lake" is in a distressed, bold serif font, rendered in a bone-white color to contrast with the dark background. The author’s name “Jack Judge” is in a smaller, sleek sans-serif font at the bottom in a delicate grey.
The title is centered at the top, spanning across the cover, with the humanoid figure positioned below, slightly off-center to the right. The author’s name is placed at the bottom, aligned with the lake’s reflection line.
The visual composition captures the horror genre by using a night-time lake setting, allowing the mysterious elements of the lake and the eerie humanoid figure to evoke a sense of suspense and fear. The choice of a distressed, bold serif font for the title reinforces the unsettling mood, while the smaller, sleek sans-serif font for the author’s name ensures it is readable but not overwhelming. Opting for a matte finish paper helps accentuate the cover's dark colors and mysterious theme, which aligns perfectly with horror aesthetics, while the spot gloss on the title ensures it draws the eye, making it memorable and impactful.
