Design solutions for a publication about the visualization of fear in Jonathan Sims' anthology "The Magnus Archives"

Hello. I am a graphic design student at Vilnius College, who is preparing to create a publication based on the anthology "The Magnus Archives" by author J. Sims. This survey will help me understand what graphic solutions that would appeal to the audience of this publication and could also interest new readers. 

All information provided will be used only for my final thesis. The survey takes about 5 minutes. Thank you for your time and answers.
