Victorian Thriller Book Cover

The story of the book revolves around a theater in the Victorian era, where an actress made a pact with a Greek muse. To hint at the story setting, I used Victorian-inspired design while incorporating relevant elements, namely the mask and the theater building. The result is also consistent with the overall style of the author's previously released books.
