I've been playing around with cover ideas for my next book, and I've put together the image linked below. IF YOU ARE OF A DELICATE CONSTITUTION YOU MIGHT WANT TO EXIT THE THREAD NOW. 
The main character has the ability to [sometimes] see when people are going to die. He's become something of a recluse because his visions don't always come true, and he believes himself responsible for the deaths of people close to him. The inciting incident is a vision of a school tragedy even worse than the recent one in Newtown, and the meat of the story is him trying to prevent the incident from actually happening.
Bearing in mind that this won't be released for several more months, just how offensive is this cover? I don't want it to be a trigger for anyone, but at the same time I do want something of a hint of the contents.
Do note that the offending spatter doesn't show up in thumbnails.
