FEAR

Bryan Cressey

Bryan Cressey is principal of Cressey and Co., a leading private equity firm, with significant healthcare field expertise.

Fear: is an incredibly timely, topical novel. The story is about a virus: a virus that becomes self-aware and, after infiltrating a computer system, eventually controls the planet. Oh, and its first goal? Gradually eliminate all of humanity. The book is a wonderful thriller that includes storylines in the worlds of hospitals and medicine; politics and government; media; education; and even a deranged killer, coopted and controlled by the virus itself. The author has significant knowledge of medicine and science, and the explanations of how a virus could evolve to become artificially intelligent are chillingly believable! As the novel begins, a series of strange accidents first mystify then terrify a nation. Dying patients, at first just a few, then dozens, then thousands, leak a mysterious blue fluid before succumbing. Doctors turn against each other. The Centers for Disease Control is infiltrated, and is at the heart of world destruction. Government leaders assume terrorism at first, and consider retaliatory attacks. The media itself is attacked. Eventually all the players realize that life itself is at stake—that the force behind all of this is a threat to the survival of the human race. And the clock is ticking!

This novel is a thriller, aimed at the general mystery/thriller audience. It is both funny and bleak, hopeless and hopeful. It might attract readers of fiction by Michael Crichton, Stephen King, Justin Cronin, and even Cormac McCarthy.

Tapa dura

We are open to any color scheme, including a white background. We believe a stark contrast between a single background color and a single graphic element could work. Along with the title, FEAR, in all caps, and the author's name in large type size, the cover should be dramatic and eye-catching!

Please see the attached design brief for more details. The cover must be attention-grabbing, exciting, and unique. We anticipate excellent audience response to this release, and a significant advertising budget as well as social media advertising campaign. Here are a few thoughts about the author’s preferences: • The design should be dramatic, eye-catching, and really “pop” on Amazon and other online retailers, where most sales will occur. • The virus is what drives the story, and all the lead characters react to the spread of the virus. Certainly one obvious design element could be a single virus cell, or a mass of cells. • The book is very much a thriller, and very suspenseful. It is not clear until the final page whether mankind survives or not. • The design should emphasize the title, “Fear,” and the author’s name, Bryan Cressey. Both of these should be very large and prominent. • In terms of color, all white or slightly off-white is acceptable, as are other solid colors. We are open to any and all graphics and ideas, so don’t hold back. • Other graphic ideas from the novel you might consider: o Mankind’s fight against the virus o A combination of virus and computer system o A combination of virus and binary code o A gym full of school children, held hostage o A hospital overflowing with sick, dying patients, lying in the halls

Please don't give us cliches. We are looking for beautiful, exciting work.
