The cover of Spoiled Milk features a striking black-and-lavender color scheme with the title in bold black lettering and the author’s name, Avery Curran, in bright red. The central artwork is a vintage-style illustration of several children gathered indoors, overlaid with red, fragmented shapes that create a distorted, unsettling effect. The contrast between the nostalgic drawing and the harsh red overlays gives the cover a tense, eerie atmosphere.
