Jeez! What is it with all these covers with bad aspect ratios? It’s becoming an LBC epidemic.
If you don’t know how to use PhotoShop correctly, maybe you shouldn’t be using it at all.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this cover found its way into my nightmares.
I’m seriously creeped out by this.

Based on the short synopsis I read, I think the cover photo (including the aspect ratio) is not really off the mark, although it needs something to suggest a major change.
Where this one seems to fall short is with the off-balance title placement, the font choices (c’mon—curlicues paired with the font that’s used for name plates on cube farms?), and too much extra baggage (“revised, blah, blah, formerly, etc.”).
This cover needs: Title, author name, and “a novel” or “a novel of . . .”.
BTW, the original cover misses the subject by a mile, but is nicely designed.

This partially reminded me of “Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil”.
If they just covered their eyes and ears, they could achieve all three.
