It initially started with the main character crying in a field and then a window was added to try to fit the new theme. Dark Places went through the most changes. Other tweaks were also made to make the house look more modern and keep the dark color theme found in the other two book covers. The original cover for Gone Girl had the main character's silhouette in the doorway but this was ultimately removed to add an allure of mystery as to what happened to the house. The final cover for Sharp Objects is very similar to the second draft but with minor tweaks and the new type. Originally, each book had it's own personalized type that corresponded with the theme of its book but in the end I decided to scrap that idea in order to make them feel like they are part of a set. For the final versions of the book covers I cleaned up my ideas and brought them all together thematically through the portals and same fonts.
