This is the first cover I have seen with a font drawn by mouse!

Seriously, you can’t even afford Times New Roman?

I think you nailed it. Mouse-drawn typography. Not smart.

And… GREEN!

Actually, I like the writing — it’s appropriately creepy, even if there is far too much of it and most of the words are rubbish. The layout works for me too.

But flat GREEN?!!

That’s a font? All I see are pale scribbles around the silhouette of a baby bottle with an arm.

I mean, what does “A Dead by Dawn” even mean? What’s a dead?

Dead by Dawn makes sense, and has been the name of a few things.
A Dead by Dawn? Complete nonsense.

I think it makes sense if you read it as, “A ‘Dead by Dawn – The Eversors Arising’ Chronicle”. Sort of.

The “artwork” is still beyond atrocious.

Never heard of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn???

As for this cover, I kinda like it but the green could be toned down a bit!

Maybe the article “A” applies to the noun “Chronicle” which is part of “Dead by Dawn: The Eversors Arising”?

Chronicle

Seamyst beat me to it. Which proves if the title takes too long to puzzle out and confuses too many people, it is a lousy book cover.

Great minds and all – although the way you formatted it is easier to understand than how I did it.

This cover makes me Eversor.
