The cover features a desolate and barren western landscape drenched in deep, apocalyptic hues of blood-red, orange, and black. The horizon is dominated by a massive, dark, and ominous sun sinking into the earth, its edges bleeding into the sky like tendrils of ink. Silhouetted in the foreground is a lone gunslinger figure, facing away from the viewer, with his rugged hat brim and a long coat billowing in the wind. Behind him is a faint outline of the cult’s sigil—a fragmented, ash-like sun symbol layered subtly over the mountains. Dust and smoke blur parts of the scenery, creating an eerie and foreboding atmosphere that evokes dread and tension. The title takes center stage, appearing almost as though it’s branded or burned onto the cover, with glowing orange embers flickering around the letters.

The visual composition captures the hybrid genre of horror and Western by fusing desolation, intense apocalyptic hues, and thematic imagery. The dark sun symbolizes both the plot’s central cult and its foreboding and transformative power, directly tying into the novel’s title. The gunslinger silhouette acts as a narrative anchor, embodying Caleb Marsden's loneliness and the bleak, rugged danger of the world he inhabits. Typography’s vintage Western aesthetic blends seamlessly with the horror branding through its distressed finish, while glowing embers amplify the dramatic, high-stakes tone. Materials like matte stock with spot UV detailing provide a tactile experience that draws readers to interact with the book physically, making it not just a visual but a sensory representation of the story.
