The Hungry by Harry Shannon and Steven W. Booth
What's the genre? What is it you like or don't like about this cover? Does it make you want to know more about the book? Does it make you want to BUY the book? Discuss.
Yeah, the blood is kind of candy apple red there. I actually think it's a bit too slick/polished for a zombie book (which I too think it is). Maybe some grunge effects to make it more gritty. I also think she's got a bit too much glow behind her.
The blood doesn't work. It took a second glance to realise it was supposed to be. The colour isn't quite right, I don't think or the shape of the splatters.
Don't know if this will appeal to zombie lovers. Don't zombie covers usually have a zombie instead of a sexy woman? Maybe not, it's not my genre.
With guns and blood, I'm guessing a zombie book.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad cover. However, the blood work on the left hand side by the hair doesn't quite look correct. Maybe run that part through Photoshop again.
Over all a good cover I think.
