I like the art quite a bit, actually. It’s creepy – in a good way- and I reckon it would stick out quite a bit when viewed in an ebook store. The only thing I’d change is those bloodstains, really.
…but yeah, I agree that the type treatment is awful.
All things considered, though, I actually think this is quite a good cover…by the standards of Lousy Book Covers.

I like the creepy drawing. What a shame about the text.
I’m actually intrigued by the image – particularly the layout of it. How was that done – is it a photograph looking down onto a left-hand page on a white table, or looking down into a box with its left side cut away? Or is just really optical-illusion-stylee shading making it look like one of those two?

Floating blood? With the straight vertical placement, the point of view is not immediately clear.
Awww this is so sad. I kinda like the art, too.
I like the art too. But why are the doll’s (?) arms so long and legs so short? Looks weird.
