I sort of think I need something more, but I tried it with a lens flare behind him and that looked goofy. I laid a window with a silhouetted figure in it over the background and that was interesting...but it felt a bit like a slasher cover. This one strikes me as a bit mysterious.
Is it possible this is still the wrong way to go? Maybe if I did a more precise job of centering everything. I just eyeballed where things go in this mock-up. I might narrow the banner behind the title. The letters are 72 point, which I like, but it can be a bit closer together.
Okay...more work ahead...but I'm almost there...

This looks like the work of a photographer I know...
Gee...I dunno...have you ever heard of a guy named Dan Skinner? Hmm? I've seen his work around...can't remember where, exactly...wait, right -- on Deviant Art.
Oh, and your blog. Fine. ;) Does good work. He shot this one a few days ago.
I thought so. :-) I didn't know that you were working with him.
I'd contacted him a couple months ago on Deviant Art about maybe working up something for HTRASG but it didn't work out. Since I was having such trouble with PM, I contacted him, again...and I'm feeling a lot better about it all.
What do you think of the cover? Too austere?
Not at all. It's my favorite out of the ones you've shared.
