A book cover concept for an Amazon Kindle ghost story by Ali Kaden. A disturbed soul returns to the site of a 17th-century crime, and a ghostly green light rises behind a row of modern houses whose residents are unaware of the threat in the shadows.

Painting with Blood is a short story and prequel to Ali Kaden’s Baneford series of paranormal thrillers, set in the fictional New England town of Baneford, Massachusetts, where an evil spirit resurrected from colonial days stalks the present. The series follows real estate agent Evelyn and the mysterious Adrian, beginning with The Past Awakens and continuing with the Dyeworks redevelopment mystery and A Memory of Tomorrow.

Ali Kaden grew up between the US and Egypt, and draws on the world’s mythologies and belief systems in his fiction. The cover was created using photo compositing techniques and page layout in Adobe Illustrator.
