A haunting and cinematic square book cover art. A desolate, rain-slicked small-town street at dusk, illuminated only by a single, flickering, antique flickering streetlight that casts long, distorted, claw-like shadows across the wet pavement. In the distance, the silhouette of a decaying Victorian-style house stands atop a gentle slope, its windows dark except for one faint, sickly yellow glow in the attic. The sky is a moody, turbulent blend of deep indigo, bruised purple, and charcoal grey clouds. Surreal atmosphere, mist swirling around the ground, high-contrast, professional gothic horror aesthetic, hyper-detailed textures, moody lighting, cinematic composition, no text, no letters, no words.
