The cover depicts a haunting, foggy town square in muted shades of gray, blue, and black. The central focus is an ancient clock tower, cracked and leaning slightly, constructed from dark, oppressive stone overrun by ivy. Its clock's hands are frozen at midnight, and the detailed cracks give an impression of its slow, inevitable decay. Shadowy, ghost-like figures seem to swirl subtly in the fog in the background of the square, giving an otherworldly feel. High above, the faint outline of a raven is perched on a spire of the tower, barely visible through the mist. The ground in the town square is cobblestoned, slick with rain, reflecting distorted shapes of the tower and fog.

The use of a Gothic serif font for the title reinforces the dark and mysterious quality of the story, while the smooth sans-serif for the author’s name enhances readability without detracting from the mood. The layout is meticulously balanced, directing the viewer’s eye first to the title, then the clock tower, and finally grounding the composition with the author’s name. The matte finish amplifies the dark aesthetic by muting excess light reflections, while spot UV gloss draws the eye to important visual and textual elements, making the cover feel tactile and distinct in any reader's hand. This combination ensures that the book cover is visually appealing, unforgettable, and compelling for horror readers.
