Dark Is The Water & Other Wyrd Tales

"A pocketbook of horror short stories and flash fiction.
A gang of young women are not what they seem. A creature waits on a beach.  A ceremony in a small community turns into a nightmare. The everyday spaces of cricket grounds and train stations become places where inhabitants unravel into themselves. Susan Earlam’s obsession with bodies and their potential for metamorphosis is unveiled in this haunting collection. Dark Is The Water will make you question what it is to live on the edges of this and other worlds."

I wanted to share with you a bit behind the scenes of the book cover design process. I know many of you got a kick out of being involved last time along with the story of how the Earthly Bodies cover came to be. Read about book cover design with 99designs.

So as you may know I found Ana Milani on Instagram. I fell hard for her style and content. Her use of colour and shape feels seductive yet dangerous; exactly what I wanted to reflect from the stories within Dark Is The Water.

Ana has shared the mood board and some elements from the proposal here on Behance.
