Lettering test

Hi friends!  I've been struggling to choose a title font for the Soul Cutter re-release. I waffle between a standard, straight font and one that looks a bit Middle Eastern. Dark Fantasy books use both plain font and decorative font. Although the  book is horror, horror-style fonts really don't work with the new "fantasy" type cover.

So do me a favor and look at the cover images and let me know your top choices and give any feedback you want or send comments to laura.6eg@gmail.com

(Yes, there are 12 ... Sorry...)

Thanks!

-- For Pro-Novelists :)

Just FYI, several betas thought Bloodwalker was a Mystery/Thriller. One (Graeme Ing of Untethered Realms) thought it was an Urban Fantasy/Mystery. Since I know horror generally sells badly, I'm willing to go the Mystery/Thriller route or even bill it as UF. 

Cover standards are very different. Horror covers are dark and ominous, often with blood or a scary face on them. Thriller covers are rather dull colored with a landscape or symbolic "thing" (like a bird or a gun)  in the center and HUGE GIANT letters for the title and author's name.  Fantasy is multi-colored and "pretty."  I happen to prefer landscape-ish ones with some background depth, but I've made a bit of everything. :)

Here they are - all 9.  Any and all feedback is great.  Be as tough as you like.  I don't need the type of fluffy kudos we give other authors who have sucky covers.  If these don't work, I can design others.

And I'm even test running a poll at the bottom - so try and see if it works.
