My book cover

Any critiques? Any ideas how to make it better. Is the cover fine just the way it is?

The image is too big, it's cutting off on the edges. It's also too plain, the entire page needs more to peak the interest of the reader. A black page with a simple icon on isn't much of a draw. The font is far to plain (is it Ariel?) and the additional icon in place of the letter just looks out of place. The text placement should be closer together and more central. It's the title of the book that people will look for, do it should be more prominent, with the image to back it up.

I'd suggest an image of something like a nuclear winter, destroyed city, etc. as the background image with the icon imposed over it with a glow that softens the icon a bit. Change up the font, there are loads of free ones on dafont.com and put the words on top of each other rather than beside.
