A dark, shadowy night scene with a black backdrop. A dead dog lies sprawled on the neighbor’s lawn, blood trickling into the grass, forming a violent red contrast to the dark tones. Growing from the dog's form is a surreal, ghostly garden—ethereal flowers and vines illuminated faintly in muted, glowing blues and purples. A 15-year-old boy kneels over the dog's body, his hands and arms stained with blood, streams of tears illuminated against his pale face. A slight beam of moonlight falls on the boy, creating an emotional focal point.

The surreal garden sprouting from the dog's form introduces symbolic elements of life and relationships, tying into the narrative's emotional complexity. The typography's jagged, handwritten style for the title makes it feel raw and intimate, while the serif font for the author's name anchors the design in professionalism and structure. The matte cover material enhances the somber tone of the story while the spot UV blood accents create a tactile element that draws attention to pivotal visuals. The layout’s careful focus on hierarchy guides the eye from title to the emotional core of the image, reinforcing the book’s intrigue and emotional weight.

A dimly lit suburban front lawn under a gloomy dusk sky. In the foreground, a lifeless black-and-white dog lies on its side. A small garden seems to miraculously sprout from the dog's still body, with vivid green leaves and colorful flowers tainted by splatters of red blood. A 15-year-old boy kneels nearby with bloodstained hands and tear-filled eyes, his face contorted in anguish. The scene is surrounded by shrouds of dark shadows creeping in from the edges of the cover, creating a foreboding atmosphere.

The colors, primarily red and muted greens, further deepen the mood of mystery, loss, and family tragedy. The typography mirrors the emotional turmoil, with the distressed serif font conveying raw sadness, and a clean sans-serif font for legibility and author credit. The matte paper stock keeps the cover somber, but the spot gloss finish adds dimension to critical details, ensuring that the design draws attention to the key symbols without overwhelming the overall tone.
