Breathe In, Bleed Out by Brian McAuley

This item is a copy of the paperback novel titled 'Breathe In, Bleed Out' by Brian McAuley. The front cover is predominantly bright red, serving as a high-contrast background for the title and author's name. The title 'BREATHE IN, BLEED OUT' is displayed in large, distressed, black lettering with a subtle red outline, evoking a horror or thriller genre aesthetic. 'A NOVEL' is printed vertically along the left side of the 'OUT' in smaller yellow text. A prominent feature of the cover art is a stylized illustration, appearing through the cut-out shapes of the title letters, depicting a screaming woman with disheveled blonde hair, her hand outstretched. She is wearing a black top. The background of this illustration is dark and appears to show shadowy figures or trees, suggesting a sinister forest or wilderness setting. In the bottom right corner, partially obscured, a mining pickaxe is depicted. The author's name, 'BRIAN McAULEY', is written below the title in sturdy, blue block letters. A small orange circular sticker with the word 'NEW' in white is affixed to the top left corner of the cover, indicating the book's condition or recent release. The book appears to be in very good, possibly new, condition with no significant visible wear, tears, or creases on the cover. The edges seem crisp, and the colors vibrant. The binding is not visible, but the overall presentation suggests a well-preserved copy. A quote from 'Owen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author' is partially visible at the top, praising the book. The book likely belongs to the horror or psychological thriller genre, given the cover art and title.
