caption: The image shows a red book with a painting of a woman's face on it, which is the cover of the first edition of the book, Medusa. The woman has long, dark hair and is wearing a green dress with a medusa headdress. Her eyes are closed and her mouth is slightly open, as if she is in a trance-like state. Her hands are clasped together in front of her and her hands are resting on her lap. The background of the painting is a deep blue, with a few stars twinkling in the night sky.
