Insert on a new layer the butterfly's picture.
Mark it out and erase everything unnecessary. Turn around the picture, using Edit ? Free Transform (ctrl+t) and change the color: Image ? Adjustments ? Hue/Saturation (ctrl+u).
Apply to this layer Filter ? Blur ? Smart Blur. Distort now the butterfly, applying the next selection: Edit ? Transform ? Distort.
Add the shadow now the same way we did with the mask. Next step includes copying this layer several times and placing them on the book's pages on different angles.
Merge now the copied layers: Layer ? Merge Down (ctrl+e) and change the new layer's type on Luminosity. Minimize the Opacity till 40%.
On a new layer, above the background, insert a small part of the picture showing some blood drops.

Change the layer's type on Multiply.
Mark out a small part of the drops' layer and copy it: Edit ? Copy (ctrl+c). Place it above the book. Turn them a little (Edit ? Free Transform) and change the layer's type on Darken.
Place now the background's layer copy above all the layers, using Layer ? Duplicate Layer. Apply to this layer the already known filter (Filter ? Filter Gallery ? Dry Brush).
Change the layer's type on Multiply and minimize the opacity till 18 %. The last feature includes the glow- worms. To picture them, it's necessary to choose the Ellipse Tool and draw several circles of yellow color and then inside the yellows - the white ones, but of smaller size.
Select also for blurring Filter ? Blur ? Gaussian Blur.
That's it!
