New Cover for The Scent

I changed the cover of The Scent and Other Stories today, but not to one of the two options. Instead I decided to go with a third. My wife recommended that marketing the collection as The Dark Side of Love versus The Scent and Other Stories would attract more buyers, because, essentially, The Dark Side of Love says more about the contents than the The Scent… It take a bit of time and effort to change the title and it would confuse people who already know it by The Scent… Therefore, I opted to keep the original title, but make the current subtitle more prominent and the title less prominent.  Let me know what you think. Here is the new cover. Maybe later I will change it to one of the two I was considering. Hasta Luego.
