Each cover was meticulously crafted to capture the heart of James Lovegrove's stories, weaving together atmospheric details, bold compositions, and subtle visual clues that invite readers to uncover the mysteries within.
The design process involved extensive research into the settings and themes of each story, ensuring every illustration authentically reflects Holmes’ universe.
