Cover Art Call: The 13th Floor

Dark Holme Publishing is seeking an artist to create the cover art for our upcoming horror anthology, The 13th Floor—a collection of three interconnected novellas exploring a mysterious floor that shouldn't exist, where reality bends, identities fracture, and nightmares seep through the cracks.

We're looking for a striking, atmospheric piece that captures the eerie, psychological tone of the book—something unsettling and suggestive rather than overtly graphic. Think liminal spaces, architectural impossibilities, haunted hallways, or elevators that descend past the point of reason.
