Fear Horror Book Cover Design (Featuring silhouettes, face, and walls)

Visuals: A dark, ominous background with textures that resemble roughly painted, cracked, peeling walls. In the center, there is a large, shadowy close-up of a grotesquely twisted, disfigured face with distinctly African features. The eyes are hollow and eerie with an unsettling stare. Faint, ghostly silhouettes in the background suggest unease and unwelcome intrusion.

Typography: Use a distressed, bold sans-serif font for the title "Der Stinke-Asylant" in large, white letters at the top. The author's name "Joachim Hilden" in a smaller size with the same font at the bottom, using a muted red color for contrast.

Layout: Title at the top in large letters, the grotesque face dominating the center of the cover, faint ghostly images around the edges, and the author's name at the bottom.

Explanation: The visual composition utilizes dark and broken textures to create a sense of fear and discomfort. The central figure's grotesque and disfigured face is meant to evoke disgust and terror, aligning with the horror genre. The typography with a distressed and bold sans-serif font emphasizes the harshness and fearfulness of the title, while the flat, muted red color of the author’s name provides a blood-like contrast, drawing subtle horror references. The matte finish paper with texture adds to the dark, gritty atmosphere, enhancing the feel of decay and despair, which fits well with the overall horror theme of the book.
