Gothic Horror & Romance Book Cover Design for Self-Published Author | Photoshop Speed Art

Let’s dive into a gothic and eerie atmosphere! October is the perfect month for it 🎃

We want to walk you through the process of creating a mysterious book cover for Claire Therese’s gothic horror & romance The Starling Inn 💜

✨ At the top, a dark Victorian house with glowing windows hints at a haunted setting. In the middle, a woman with a distressed look adds intrigue. At the bottom, another woman in a forest deepens mystery and isolation.
✨ The color palette is dark and moody, dominated by deep greens, blues, and blacks. The warm light from the house contrasts with the cool, eerie background, drawing focus to it. The greens and blacks, especially at the bottom, enhance the supernatural atmosphere.
✨ The title is in a tall, narrow font, giving a modern yet unsettling vibe that fits the mysterious tone. The words are stacked vertically in the center, creating a clean, striking layout. The author's name appears in a smaller, simpler font at the bottom, keeping the focus on the title and imagery.

P. S. The final version of the cover differs from this one, as the author asked for some changes 💚
