I'm not really interested in reading this book, but I'm in love with the cover.  It's simple but evocative.  You have the paintbrush in a black background, but it's broken and trailing red, like a bit of blood.  This gives a subtle enough background for the test, which looks brush-painted, like the owner of the paintbrush just hurriedly scrawled it on.  It fits really well with the description and gives an atmosphere like an old Flemish painting.  Pre-tty.

with every book cover comes a music cover 

One of my favorite songs by one of my new-favorite bands, here's Portugal. The Man covering "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis.  I saw them do it this year at Lollapalooza and it was fabulous.  Unfortunately this version is clearly off someone's phone, but alas.  You can still get a sense of their cool mashup.
