Welcome to my cover design page, where you can see some of the approximately 1,000 AI-free horror and dark fiction book covers I have made for a wide range of authors, from indie self-publishers to those with established presses. I am committed to creating stunning, scroll-stopping covers for the wonderful scary, disturbing, and horrifying stories being created right now. Psychological horror, gothic horror, supernatural horror, extreme horror, dark thriller, retro—if it's dark and it's fiction, it is my specialty.
I am currently booked from four to six weeks out, so I recommend reserving your spot early. I don't accept every project. If it's not in my wheelhouse, I'll refer you to a designer that I know will do a good job. But if I take on your cover, you can bet we'll do something awesome together.

RETRO WORK
Whether you are buying a premade or commissioning an original work, your book deserves quality artwork, affordable prices, and fantastic customer service. I am committed to fitting into authors' budgets—my custom ebook and paperback wrap package is $250-$300, depending on complexity.
My design work is all human: I don't use AI assets or tools in my design. I use only licensed stock art from professional stock libraries, so you can be confident that the cover you get from me will be hassle-free.
From inception to publication, I consider myself a partner in your process. Get more information by filling out this inquiry form, or by emailing me at ruthannaevansdesigns@gmail.com.
