That's bloody great!" :-)Gary Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00981206709642828785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232310180330031281.post-45212836811038482482008-08-06T11:33:00.000+01:002008-08-06T11:33:00.000+01:002008-08-06T11:33:00.000+01:00That is amazing cover art. Love the 'Rain Dogs' cover as well. Good to see some imagination being used when designing 'horror' books. As author, how much say do you have in the selection process?Lincoln.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232310180330031281.post-48719444309775341622008-07-05T09:30:00.000+01:002008-07-05T09:30:00.000+01:002008-07-05T09:30:00.000+01:00Ah, but Chris, the front cover is much more aubtle, less obvious as a "horror" cover. The back image is great, but puts you on more familiar ground.<BR/><BR/>The front unnerves you because it isn't the standard horror trope.Gary Mchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00981206709642828785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232310180330031281.post-87751101410118379442008-07-04T19:56:00.000+01:002008-07-04T19:56:00.000+01:002008-07-04T19:56:00.000+01:00The back cover image is bloody scary, and prefer it to the front, Gary - Vinny is just the dog's.<BR/><BR/>Fucked me right off that Gollancz saw fit not to commission him for the mass-market edition of "20th Century Ghosts" - big publishing book-art seems so conservative when compared to the indies.<BR/><BR/>Vinny just sent me a proof wraparound for Gareth Powell's forthcoming sf novel - truly fucking superb.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232310180330031281.post-4362935239252012712008-07-04T01:08:00.000+01:002008-07-04T01:08:00.000+01:002008-07-04T01:08:00.000+01:00awesome!nomishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07283870920567508688noreply@blogger.com
