A Scene from a Novel

While reading "The Big Dark Sky" by Dean Koontz, I decided to use AI to have a picture from what I was reading. I gave a few paragraphs of the text to Google Gemini and asked it to write a prompt for that. Then I used the prompt to create the picture, which you can see below.

Here is the prompt for this picture:

Create a vivid scene inspired by Dean Koontz's 'The Big Dark Sky.' The setting is a desolate Montana town at night, under a cold, dead moon and a sky filled with distant, burning stars. The air is cool and clean, but carries a sense of impending dread. Show Asher Optime walking down the weed-choked main street. Emphasize the silence, punctuated by the occasional cries of nocturnal animals, and the dark, empty buildings that suggest human folly. Convey Asher's unsettling calm and the knowledge that he is about to disrupt this peace with a brief, violent act. He is on a mission to 'erase the meaning of a life,' specifically that of a 28-year-old woman named Ophelia Poole. Include visual details of the vast, primeval Montana landscape surrounding the town: endless prairies, sprawling valleys, dense forests, and towering mountains that evoke a sense of ancient, hidden power and a touch of the fantastical. Emphasize the contrast between the serene, natural beauty of the night and the underlying sense of menace Asher carries. The scene should hint at his strange, surreal dreams, where he is deconstructed by the works of Duchamp, Miró, and Rauschenberg, and the way those dreams relate to his current, deadly task.
