The use of black and red emphasizes fear and violence, core themes of the story. Line art enhances the rawness of the depicted violence, lending authenticity to the gritty thriller tone. The jagged, blood-dripping serif title font visually reinforces the dangerous, bloody theme, while the sans-serif font for the author’s name downplays its visibility, ensuring the focus remains on the terrifying imagery and the title. By employing matte lamination paired with a spot-gloss finish, the textures give the cover both a matte grimness and a slick, visceral element that adds tactile emphasis to the bloody aesthetic. Overall, the design is crafted to instill fear and curiosity, compelling readers to delve into the chilling tale hidden within.
