Jeffrey Ogochukwu (rioflash) | 4 comments My classic horror novel, Stay Away, has been sitting on Amazon's digital shelves for weeks, quietly trying to find its way into the hands of readers. Despite the captivating tale it held within its pages, the book's cover seemed to be an obstacle rather than an invitation. It was clear that something needed to change. Just recently, I changed the book cover. To my absolute delight, the response has been incredible, with sales skyrocketing beyond my expectations. And guess what? I'm overjoyed to share that my book has now claimed the No. 1 spot on Amazon Free Bestsellers list, not just in one marketplace, but in both the US and UK! 📚🌟 This goes to show that a book is truly judged by its cover.

P.S. You can check it out! it's free. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XH3CWJS

I especially like this one:

Undead Nightmare : Book #6

Great cover! Makes me what to read it. (I'm a die hard fan/writer of horror fiction.

E.B. Hauk | 7 comments Both of you guys have really solid covers, especially you, Jeffrey. I am a sucker for typography and the broken cover font really sells it, imo.

I put together this cover which I'm really proud of.

The cover of your book looks great! I tried reaching out to people through different platforms to see if anyone was interested in reading my book, but no one replied. I mean to say that it's very difficult to reach people. I created my book cover by hand; I liked the idea of putting something unique and bizarre. I'll leave my link so you can share your opinion.

Justin (justinbienvenue) | 3047 comments I did the cover for my latest novel, Nightshade Station: A Chilling Psychological Thriller and it's compliment short story, Blood on the Boardwalk: A Nightshade Station Short Story. It was my first time ever doing my own covers.
