eBook Cover Design Brief

I need an eBook cover for my manuscript, "How to Behave like a Human Being: A Guidebook for the Corporate Sociopath." The book is a satirical self-help guide written by a sociopath for the benefit of other sociopaths. The following is a synopsis currently on Amazon: "I am an extremely successful lunatic: emotionless, highly intelligent, driven by one thing and one thing only -- my bottom line. All of my suggestions, from going to church, attending parent-teacher conferences, and hiring someone to kill your adversaries instead of doing it yourself, are formulas for increasing and maintaining wealth. I consider myself a master in the art of blending in (as well as most everything else). My advice is divided into three main areas: “When at Work,” ‘When at Play,” and “When Running for Office.” If followed, my advice can propel the average sociopath to all levels of success, even as far as the White House."'

Think Patrick Bateman as a self-help guru.

In terms of design, I've imagined a cover featuring a handsome man in a business suit wearing a Jason mask, or something similar. Perhaps a cream or maroon colored background with some red involved. The book is selling on Amazon via Kindle so I need something compatible. I've attached the current cover and the manuscript for your reference. Here's a link to the current page for the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088QLBBHN

Target Market(s)

Fans of comedy and horror. Devotees of American Psycho with a dark sense of humor.


Requirements
Nice to have
  • As discussed, I've imagined a handsome businessman with a jason mask and a briefcase. Possibly a Wall Street background or something similar. However, I am completely open to other designs. The narrator of the book is a sociopath trying to fit in and help other sociopaths do the same.
Should not have
  • Not be too terrifying. This is a dark comedy after all.
