Rationale Behind the Design:

The visual composition aims to evoke a sense of cosmic horror by juxtaposing the abstract, surreal elements with a haunting central book that draws the eye towards it. Oxford’s architecture fading into the background enhances the eerie, mysterious tone, suggesting a bridge between reality and the unknown. The chosen typography, with its eerie and classic mix, enhances the horror and psychological aspects, making the title and author’s name clear yet unsettling. The matte paper with UV spot gloss adds a tactile and visual distinction that draws readers' attention, creating an immersive cover that stands out on the shelf.
