This is definitely an eye-catching cover, and the judicious addition of dripping blood does an excellent job of informing genre. I love the crumbling marble face, as it adds an immediacy to the image, making it intense and personal to a person, something just the building would never do. In fact, the crackling of the plaster/marble adds to the tension of the artwork. I think the title is a bit too fancy for the genre, but it is effective, nonetheless.
