Cover image for The Black Rose of Capistrano
The Black Rose of Capistrano - Book 1 | Dario Vega Origin | Gothic Western Cover The Black Rose of Capistrano — BOOK 1: Dario Vega An Original Gothic Adventure Where it all began. Before Dario Vega became the haunted investigator of Venice, Prague, and the city that never forgets... he was in California. Mission Capistrano. A black rose that shouldn't bloom. A masked figure that shouldn't exist. This is Book 1 origin — Gothic Western meets paranormal mystery. I wanted a cover that feels different from my Van Helsing London fog — Hot, dusty, ruined Spanish mission, but still that same gothic dread. The masked cowboy with a black rose = Dario Vega's first curse. The ruined monastery behind him? That's Capistrano itself — beautiful, crumbling, and hiding something in the bells. Design breakdown: Genre mash: Gothic + Western + Mystery — Very niche, needed to stand out on Kobo thumbnail Typography: Weathered gold serif "THE BLACK ROSE OF CAPISTRANO" — Old wanted poster feel Mood: Dusty sepia + cold moonlight — The rose is the only color Character focus: Masked Dario holding the Black Rose — Instant icon for Book 1 First book in the Dario Vega saga — Prequel to The City That Remembers, The City That Never Forgets Earth, etc. By Ahmer Anis — Gothic Horror Author & Designer | Karachi, Pakistan Tools: Photoshop + AI concept + Typography Writing a gothic western, horror, or mystery? I design covers that tell the story before page 1. Let's talk!

Cover image for Van Helsing - Book 8:
Van Helsing - Book 8: The Venice House Is Awake | Gothic Horror Cover Design with Characters an Helsing: Shadows Beyond — BOOK EIGHT — The Venice House Is Awake The newest entry in my Van Helsing Chronicles series — and the most personal one yet. After 7 books of Van Helsing hunting alone in foggy London, Budapest, Prague... this time he's not alone. Venice brings not just a house that is AWAKE, but a past that won't let go. Story vibe for cover: Moonlit Venice, Grand Canal at midnight, a house with eyes in the clouds watching them, lantern light as the only protection. I wanted romance + dread in same frame. This cover shows the shift in Book 8 — From lone hunter to protector. The glowing Venice basilica in back, the haunted sky face, the red title "IS AWAKE" — everything is alive. What I did: Full concept & storyboarding Character design (Van Helsing + Elena) Gothic horror composition + Venice atmosphere Typography: Classic Van Helsing red distressed + gold author name Kobo + Amazon + IngramSpark print-ready files Book 8 in Van Helsing: Shadows Beyond series. Live process: Book 7 just published, Book 8 in final edit — Cover reveal!
