A horror illustration of a pale woman in a long coat standing in a snowy forest with bloodstains, a shadowy Wendigo creature, and a cabin.

Dark psychological horror book cover, ultra cinematic and unsettling. A frozen, nightmarish forest under a dying twilight sky, heavy fog crawling between black pine trees like something alive. The ground is covered in dirty snow mixed with dark organic stains, subtly disturbing but not graphic. In the foreground stands Elena, a young woman with a hollow, exhausted expression, pale skin almost translucent, eyes slightly unfocused as if she is no longer fully present. Her posture is tense but resigned, as if something inside her is changing. She wears a long dark coat that seems slightly too large, almost swallowing her body. Behind her in the forest is the Wendigo: a terrifying, barely formed entity made of shadow, elongated bone-like limbs, unnatural height, twisted anatomy that feels wrong to perceive. Its face is partially missing, as if reality cannot fully render it. It blends into the trees, appearing and disappearing like a hallucination. The forest itself feels alive and hostile, branches subtly resembling grasping hands. The air is thick with silence and psychological dread. In the far background, a solitary wooden house stands crooked and abandoned, faint light flickering inside like a dying heartbeat.
