Cover image for The Left Hand of darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. The image shows a wide expanse of a snowfield with the barest hint of a winter forest in the distance. The focus of the image are footprints in the snow close to us, leaving a trail from left to right. It looks like multiple sets of prints. The image feels cold, remote and lonely.

Cover image for The Crystal Shard by R.A. Salvatore. The image is a classic fantasy depiction of three heroic figures in a harsh snowy tundra intently focused on tacking some foe. The three are a human barbarian armed with a warhammer, and a dwarven warrior leaning on a kneeling hooded drow. The image has the feel of many fantasy tropes - fur and armour clad heroes, multiple races working together, harsh and mysterious environments.

Cover for Night Watch by Terry Pratchett. The image shows a collage of a fantasy/medieval city in conflict. Central are two men in light armour, one wearing an eyepatch. Behind them is the suggestion of armed melee, and in the background are buildings outlined by colours that suggest unrest and conflict. The whole image evokes urban fantasy war.

Cover for Look to Windward by Iain M Banks. The image is heavily stylised, more like a collection of shapes. The shapes are a pattern of line-like ribbons spiralling towards the centre. The centre is a circle that evokes a void. The image is dark, stark, and moody.

Cover image of Neuromancer by William Gibson. The depicts a clash of crowded city buildings. Almost impossible architecture with walls and windows overlapping and joined in unexpected ways. It's difficult to tell up from down from sideways. The feeling is claustrophobic.

Cover image for Exhalation by Ted Chiang. It depicts a heavily stylised or abstract drawing of the branching structure of human lungs as if they were constructed using gears, cogwheels, and organic seeming tubes. The image is overlaid by small stark outlines depicting birds in flight.

The cover of Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg. The image shows a human skull on gloomy indistinct background. The colouring evokes a fuzzy moonlit night lit by a warm candle. The skull is tilted with the top toward us, the candlelight colouring on the cranium hints a the shape of woman, as if we are reading its thoughts.

Cover image for Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It depicts a bright white mouse standing in front of a maze made of metal plates stamped with electronic circuit designs. The choice of colours make the mouse bright and in focus, while the maze seems ominous and fades into darkness in the distance.

Book cover for Random Acts of Senseless Violence by Jack Womack. The image is a collage depicting a side profile of a girl, overlaid by some indistinct handwriting, a building morphed into handgun, and some splatters of blood and grime.
