Broken Captive by BK Walker
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.
I'm afraid this one needs a lot of work. I don't care for the artwork, the text on the man's wrists is unreadable, and I don't like the font for the title. I think I'd start over from scratch on this one.
That's not broken, that's a tiny shrunken decapitated head sitting on a guy's wrists. I don't mind the typeface for the author name but using it for the title doesn't work.
As for genre, I don't know, but I think I would never pick this kind of book up because it reeks of snuff/humiliation. Not my cup of tea at ALL.
Hated this. No idea what the genre could be. Don't want to know. It looks repulsive. Never even noticed any writing on the man's arms until I read about it in a comment and took a close look. Sorry.

This cover does not work for me at all. The floating head is in the wrong location and I'm not sure that it is needed.
ReplyDeleteI agree that I also get an BDSM / humiliation vibe from it.
