The central image of the cover illustrates a terrifying, tentacular creature, which seems designed by Lovecraft, it has no face, only a mass of tentacles, stalking its victim in a dirty and dark alley at night in the city of Los Angeles in 1990. The victim is a young, intelligent and brave black woman, wearing 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.
