Horror Book Cover Design

Polished, professional horror book covers for horror authors and presses.

Ruth Anna Evans @ruth-anna-evans

I started out as an indie horror author making book covers for myself, and I became obsessed. I had found my artform. Since then, I have made approximately 1,000 AI-free horror and dark fiction book covers 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 use licensed stock images to make composite art that fits your vision. My design work is all human: I don't use AI assets or tools in my design. My philosophy is that your story deserves quality, polished artwork and you deserve fantastic customer service. From inception to publication, I consider myself a partner in your process. My turnaround is from three to four weeks, and we revise until you are happy.

Services rules

Services is a board where members list or ask for book-related help. Read this once before you post or connect.

  • Adults only. You must be 18 or over.
  • We introduce people. Bookish Badger is not a party to any agreement, does not vouch for anyone and does not take, hold or guarantee payment. Prices are only what a member chose to show.
  • Not allowed. Anything illegal; sexual content involving a child, in any form; pornographic commissions; scams and misleading prices; paid-for or swapped reviews; passing off someone else’s work as yours. Horror, gore and dark themes in fiction are welcome.
  • Say if you use generative AI. Every listing must say so, and you must not sell AI work as human-made.
  • Keep contact details out of listings. No emails, phone numbers or payment links. People reach you through Connect.
  • Connect is a short note. Up to 280 characters, plain text, no attachments. The other person can accept or decline. If they accept, the contact route you chose to share is shown to them. We delete notes after 24 months.
  • Report anything wrong. We can read a note only if it has been reported or the law requires it.
