At first glance, the cover seems pretty simple—but on closer inspection, there’s a lot going on. The dominant image of the buffalo in profile is striking, especially the intelligent, almost human blue eye. There’s a weariness in that look, a combination of sadness and mistrust. Combine that with the distressed red lettering of the title and you’re already halfway into the story emotionally.

And then—wait a second. The title isn’t just The Buffalo Hunter… it’s The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. That second “Hunter,” handwritten in red, flips the whole thing on its head. Suddenly it’s not about hunting buffalo—it’s about hunting someone who hunts buffalo. That twist in typography is clever, subtle, and incredibly effective. Now we really want to know what’s going on.

The minimal placement of “A Novel” and the confident design choices suggest this book isn’t going to hold your hand—but it knows exactly what it’s doing. We’re intrigued.

Based on the Cover, We Think This Book Is About…
To escape a tough situation, a man leaves his comfort in the East to become a buffalo hunter—only to discover that someone from his past is hunting him.
