Book Cover - Need Opinions

[Reid against Mcshane]

This is just blatant self-advertising.....which works because I've just got it on the Kindle.

It's missing a large and badly drawn graffiti penis on the front.....

Sorry, spent too much time using books from the school library.

I know of it, but the reasoning behind putting the horizon there is so it cuts through the title. I've no idea if that's a cardinal sin as I don't do photography and my graphic skills are all self-taught.

Keep the title tethered over the horizon. But move it up or down until the whole look feels resolved and balanced. There's mathematics (golden mean) etc but really the eye knows best. Don't have text too close to edge or it looks like it is falling off. Or deliberately gave it bleeding off. Ons or the other. Align top middle and bottom text at left and right invisible margins. Keep it tight.

Brighter Horizons consists of seven sci-fi and horror tales that will appeal to fans of Stephen King, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Black Mirror

That's the default as with the other letters, but I see what you mean, actually. Will have to fix that now.

Went with the central moon in the end although it took me hours of agonising over it. Just felt the moon gave the cover a more 'sci-fi' feel. All up and running across Amazon and Goodreads now. Thanks for all the feedback.

I’ve read two of the short stories and enjoyed both. About to start number 3.

To get the proper sci-fi feel you need a gorgeous female alien with three uncovered breasts on the cover.

Good luck mate, I think the one you've gone with is the best of the suggestions on here. I was going to suggest a smaller, more distant moon in the top right so the stones looked like they were leading to it from the bottom left to top right.
