Had I been in charge of marketing The Red Tree, I definitely would've gone for some sort of dark, stylized tree graphic, and not put a person on the cover at all.
And were it a book by Neil Gaiman or Susanna Clarke, Peter Straub or Clive Barker, that's likely the sort of cover it would have gotten. But apparently someone has deemed my books too trashy to sell with those "artsy covers."
