Congratulations on finishing the book. I would definitely redesign the cover if I were you. It's not just that it's illegible, it also looks like blood splattered on a wall. Now, I know this is how you meant it to be, because of the word "execution", etc. but it is the design equivalent of a pun. Puns aren't necessarily bad by definition, they just usually are because they apply intelligence to the wrong problem. The other point to make is that, funnily enough, the pun's idea is itself badly executed. It really does look like you did the cover yourself in MacPaint. If you're still keen on using this pun, there are other ways to execute the same idea. For example, you could just have the word Execution in blood on the wall, but the other lines on a non-patterned background, in a more legible typeface.
