Approved. This was my first piece of mass-market genre-fiction.
I know that both of those things make a lot of people's backs go up but, I had a lot of fun designing this psychological future-thriller re-pack. The narrow dimensions alone were cause for much delight and head-scratching.

perfect. Great work. love that line work that overlays the eye image.

wow. certainly doesn't look like the usual genre stuff - very snazzy, very cool, yet still fits the market.

is the cover going to get the usual foil-and-emboss for the type, as befits a mass-market title?

Hadn't thought about foil. I'm pushing for a spot-gloss over the geometric syrograph thingy.

Nice, David. I love the spatial movement of the type. It's hard to pull off.
