Another cover idea I have been playing around with is the a further abstraction on the concept of doors, it has a nice effect, simple but I am not convinced its exactly what the judges are looking for.

Since i want to keep this story quite true to the real life story i have been trying out covers with the clutter family. 

This is an image that has been used on the book cover before. I wiped out their faces, in this sense they loose their individuality, their is a sense of unrest in this because in this sense they could be anyone, and that means anyone close to the viewer. In taking their appearance the brain tries to fill in the gap and in some cases can form a resemblance to someone close. i am not quite sure I like this idea, i feel like its somewhat disrespectful to the family. Its sad that in cases like these the victims are often forgotten but what remains in everybody's mind is what was done to them, and who did it.
