Overall
This is the Traditional edition in Taiwan. The Hidden Girl and Other Stories includes stories from time-traveling assassins to Black Mirror-Esque tales of cryptocurrency and internet trolling to heartbreaking narratives of parent-child relationships. It explores topical themes from the present and a visionary look at humanity’s future.
Cover Design
Liu Ken's novels differ from ordinary science fiction, delicately depicting people's emotions in different times and situations. Therefore, we also wanted to offer a design in a different shade from typical sci-fi. Instead of using other stories in space, we chose Hidden Girls as the primary visual source. I use lines to describe the iconic red ribbon and the dagger, which can cut space and time. At the same time, it retains the softness of a ribbon and the sharpness of a dagger in shape, outlining their traces as they travel between the two spaces.
