Fantasy Blue Suspense Uncertainty Book Cover Ideas with Shadow Smoke Glow Movement Teeth Prison Corridor Shard Alex Angler Blacksite Urbanshade Lure

The cover features Alex Axedra mid-run, casting a shadowy figure against a narrow corridor in the Hadal Blacksite. The winding metallic walls of Urbanshade’s prison are dimly lit by a sinister blue bioluminescent glow emanating from a monstrous Angler-mutated entity that's partially visible in the background, its sharp glowing teeth and menacing lure dominating the shadows. The background dissolves into a smoky haze as if uncertainty swallows the scene. The foreground emphasizes movement with striking motion blur effects around Alex, who is depicted clutching a glowing shard for light.

The book title, “Beyond Sore Eyes,” is styled in sharp, angular sans-serif font with glowing blue highlights to mimic eerie light reflections on metal. The author’s name, “Midnight R. Afton-Phasistus,” is scrawled below the title in a smaller, modern serif font with faint gradation from silver to blue.

The title dominates the upper third of the cover, positioned above the running figure of Alex. Alex’s form bridges the middle of the composition while leading the viewer's eyes downward toward the menacing Angler looming in shadowy pursuit. The author’s name is placed just beneath this focal visual. A dark vignette effect around the edges brings focus into the center action.
