Take a close look at this one because the creepy is in the details! We’re unveiling the cover created by Lynne Hansen for EV Knight’s classic-with-a-twist The House on the Cover of a Horror Novel. Author EV Knight explains, “I have wanted to write a novel set in Savannah since I moved here. Old money houses surrounded by ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss haunt the city. I wanted to evoke that feel in my novel. I wanted the reader to step into my town and wonder what secrets are whispered in the epiphytic breeze.”

Now that you’ve seen the full cover you know why Knight says, “Lynne’s cover art hit all those points. She nailed that feeling of hidden things lurking beneath the shallow surface of gentrified homes—of  terrors only seen when one pulls aside the curtain of moss to reveal skeletons still residing within the foundations of eras past. Needless to say, I love it.”

About the Book

There’s something off about the house…as if it’s hiding a dark secret. That’s why artist, Emily Lawrence thinks it’s the perfect subject for a cover commissioned by a famous horror author. But that’s her little secret. Her husband, Miles, can only assume the house she is constantly sketching is her dream home. So, when Emily is sidelined by an unexpected, high-risk pregnancy, he buys it thinking it’ll be perfect for their growing family.

Immediately, Emily begins to hear voices and senses a child’s presence. Is the house haunted or is it stress getting to Emily? Her husband certainly thinks it’s all in her head. A traumatic delivery leaves Emily convinced something is terribly wrong. Miles must navigate his wife’s delicate state, and care for their newborn son, while returning to work. It’s a tenuous situation—then the baby disappears.
