Legacy of the Butcher

The story of this book involved Logan Thorne hunting down a famous killer who resurfaces after years of dormancy.

I wanted to depict this generally, with a mysterious figure seemingly stalking a girl out for a midnight run. Previous books in the series used strong red and blue tones as well as dark scenes with plenty of contrast. I referenced this using a vivid mix of those elements along with clear composition to make the figures stand out even on the web.

Hunting a Monster

This story involves the investigation into a murder where multiple men have been killed by someone with seemingly superhuman strength. The author described it as a search for a Jackal & Hyde type character, but without anything actually supernatural in the end. That was a really fun shake up of the typical thriller story so I ran with it for the cover.

I designed the mysterious silhouetted characters on the cover to overlap in a way that almost portrays them as a single, double sided character, with backlighting that makes the larger one seem somewhat imaginary. This hit a lot of narrative points, was visually interesting, and also kept with the genre.
