FINAL. Though the previous cover was well-received, it seemed too simple, and didn’t convey the darkness of the book. We all agreed to return to the X-ray concept. Taking a cue from the last version, I suggested using an illustration of the landscape rather than a photograph, which seemed to work much better. Combining elements of earlier iterations left us all feeling as though we finally had the right cover.
