On the left side, a peaceful rural landscape with a small house and windmill fades into the chaos, illustrating the calm before the storm. Lightning bolts slash through the sky, one striking through the bold title. The EF Scale in a gradient of green to red sits at the bottom right, next to a small, cartoon-like diagram showing how tornadoes form. The edges of the design are accentuated by swirling debris and wind effects, creating a dynamic framing. The tagline “Nature’s Most Powerful Spin Cycle!” is placed in the bottom third, with a small tornado safety tip beneath it.

The cover is dominated by a dark, apocalyptic Earth at the center, enveloped by five ominous hands reaching outwards, symbolizing NATO members. Above the dark planet, the faint outlines of the NATO and UN logos are interwoven with swirling clouds, suggesting impending chaos. In the foreground, a powerful nuclear explosion bursts upwards, while fragmented economic symbols like shattered dollar and euro signs are scattered across the scene, reflecting a world in collapse. The backdrop has a gradient from deep blacks to fiery reds, creating a dramatic tension and urgency.

Last Hours of Los Angeles

A haunting image of a woman in a long, wild, black dress with lace climbing up to her neck. Her long black hair flows around her, partially obscuring her face, while her amber eyes and red lips provide intense focus points. Her dress seamlessly merges into a background of swirling tendrils and mist. Shadows play intricately across her form, enhancing the eerie mood.

Ajvar

A shattered mirror spans the vertical center of the cover, creating a hauntingly symmetrical layout. The shards reflect the fragmented expressions of Jinx in varying levels of emotional intensity—calm on the upper shards and distress in the lower ones. The edges of the entire scene are softly blurred into muted grays and blues, intensifying the focus on Jinx's mesmerizing blue eyes and dark, textured hair. A subtle light source in golden-white emanates from behind the mirror, implying both a sense of hope and mystery. A faint, almost illegible emblem on his blazer adds intricate detail, grounding his character.

Fragile threads

The cover features a dimly lit, eerie forest shrouded in fog, with twisted trees creating shadowy patterns. In the foreground, a girl reminiscent of Elena from Vampire Diaries Season 1, with chocolate brown, slightly wavy hair and blonde highlights, is gazing upward, capturing a sense of wonder and trepidation. Behind her stands a young boy, with striking dark brown hair and hazel eyes, cautiously looking around, indicating alertness. A vague shadow lurks in the background, adding to the suspense. An abandoned playground, barely visible, occupies the corner, hinting at forgotten stories and childhood innocence lost.
