I provided an outline for the original cover and approved the art. Didn't know about the second one till I saw it on Amazon! Thanks, both – my feelings entirely.

I strongly agree with MattC about the figure on the first cover. It is waaay better. The figure on the second cover is not scary at all, which doesn't do justice to the book. I hope this helps!

The new cover certainly looks more like fire - but the old cover was ambiguous enough that it could be interpretted as both fire and blood.
