The central image on the cover illustrates a terrifying, tentacled creature, seemingly designed by Lovecraft, stalking its victim in a dark, dirty alley at night in Los Angeles in 1990. The victim is a young, intelligent, black woman. and brave, with jeans and a leather jacket, who advances investigating with a gun in her hand, attentive but without realizing that there is a monster behind her. The artistic style of the illustration is detailed and dramatic, with a focus on the dark and menacing atmosphere that is characteristic of horror tales, although the situation can be very slightly comical. The colors used are predominantly dark and cold, with blue and black tones emphasizing the supernatural and terrifying nature of the Lovecraftian monster. The drawing technique appears to be a combination of traditional illustration with a polished finish, suitable for a cover that seeks to appeal to fans of the horror and adventure genre. It looks like a cover from the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. --v 6.0
