There has been a lot of interpretations for the book cover of The Metamorphosis, though I always thought that this cover was pretty interesting since it's not really portraying any of the characters, but it still very accurately captures the tone of this book. It shows a human family all sitting around doing regular things, but the proportions are distorted as well a an uncomfortably positioned child on the floor. The overall scene is pretty average, but still everything seems really wrong, which much of Kafka's style revolves around. Which is having a realistic scene with subtle surreal elements thrown in.
