A speculative cover I illustrated and designed for one of my favourite books, We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. Considering the first person perspective of the story, I felt an image from the point of view of the protagonist, Merrikat, would work well for the cover. The choice of puritan style shoes, as well as the subtle reflective shadows in the shiny leather, shows how Merrikat views herself as a kind of witch.
