Sleeping Sirens

Sleeping Sirens is a crime/thriller novel I imagined in order to create a dust cover for. I created the design with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, making something that fit to the common trends of other book covers with the same genre, using a dark and moody colour palette and pairing it with some mysterious imagery to create this look. This required a strong focus on typesetting, and creating hierarchy within the designs elements to create a balance between the imagery and the information needed to be displayed to the reader.

Sleeping Sirens
Written by Angelo Di Enro

"In a city that never sleeps, the sirens never stop."

In a cut-throat city that never sleeps, the dead tell no tales. But when bodies start turning up with cryptic messages carved into their skin, Detective Adrian Graves is forced to listen. The whispers on the streets speak of the Sleeping Sirens—a name lost in the static of the city's crime wave, a myth used to keep the fearful in line. But Graves knows better. Myths don’t leave bodies behind.

As he hunts a killer who seems to predict his every move, Graves is pulled into a sinister conspiracy that runs deeper than he ever imagined. With every step closer to the truth, the lines between predator and prey blur, and he realises he’s not just chasing shadows—he’s being lured into them.

Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Some legends are meant to stay asleep.
