Yarışma Özeti

Sherlock Homes vs Jack the Ripper. A CreateSpace full cover incl spine for a novel - mystery/historical genre. The title is:
SHERLOCK HOLMES
1888
Autumn of Blood
Subtitle/tagline: Jack the Ripper and the Thames Torso Murders as narrated by John H Watson, MD.
I'm looking for creative ideas- dynamic and interesting - avoiding cliches and mainstream images, but conveying Holmes' Victorian London or blowing my readers away with an amazing alternative style. My Holmes is the one in the traditional Paget illustrations or Jeremy Brett from the UK GRANADA series of the 1980s. Not Warner Bros or Cumberbatch. Jack the Ripper is as you imagine him, but no horrific images. The book is not horror genre.
Hansom cabs, gaslamps, cobbled streets, prostitutes, top hats, flowing coats, police with moustaches and doctors with shiny Gladstone bags and knives are OK if shown in an unusual way.
I need commercial use and PSD unflattened, all images copyright free.

here is the back cover text: 'In the ill-lit and festering alleys of Whitechapel in the East End of London a blood-soaked fiend is at work murdering women of the night and mutilating their remains. As the body count rises, local and national newspapers heap scorn on the Metropolitan Police and their hapless commissioner, Sir Charles Warren. Gory descriptions of the victims’ wounds are published, illustrated with images drawn as much from the artists’ imaginations as from witness testimony. The much vaunted Scotland Yard sleuths appear helpless, and the murderer sends them taunting messages in blood red letters signed Saucy Jack.
And what of Sherlock Holmes? Is the foremost private consulting detective in the world standing aloof as the capital of the Empire is paralyzed by the nameless terror stalking its streets?
Here, for the first time, is my account of those dreadful days and nights when Holmes and I stood shoulder to shoulder against the horrors that afflicted the city in that blood-soaked autumn of 1888. For Jack the Ripper was not the only habitual killer on the hunt for prey that season. There was another.

John H Watson MD.'

“Giovanni provided me with the unique take I wanted for the cover of my Sherlock Holmes and Jack the ripper book. His work stood out among many excellent, but derivative covers. He has been very attentive to my needs and has worked with me to produce exactly the cover I wanted. I would highly recommend giobanfi68.”

    Ho George, I'm not sure the author name is a big deal. And PLEASE, no more steampunk! As I have said, I want a traditional SH. Google 'Paget Sherlock Holmes'.

      As you said, it has less importance. I asked only to know how many characters it has. I use something general. Thank you!

    Just a reminder - mine is the traditional Holmes. Steampunk ideas look like fun, but won't win.

      Do you mean dimensions of the cover? It will almost certainly be 8.5 x 5.5 - number of pages to be advised in a few days. I'm looking for concepts first.
