After endlessly torturing my cover artist on the fonts alone, I am finally able to reveal the new cover for my upcoming short story collection Amorous Things.
Philip R. Rogers is the artist who did the amazing work on the cover. I love the elements incorporated into the desk design. Now, you’re probably thinking it looks like the old cover on the original edition of An Amorous Thing. Yes, it does. I once again decided to go this route because the collection isn’t exactly a ‘horror’ collection. Filled with surrealism, magical realism, horror and contemporary fiction, Amorous Things has a little bit of everything, which made it especially hard to nail down a definite idea. However, after talking with a friend over the idea on this cover, I came to the conclusion that this would be the best way to illustrate the contents of the book.
A big thanks goes out to Phillip for the quick turnaround time on this cover. Thanks so much!
Amorous Things comes out soon, guys! If you haven’t heard, David Dunwoody, author of Empire and Unbound & Other Tales, had this to say about the collection:
"A unique collection of dark tales, startling in its portrayals of love and need."
I can’t wait to see this thing in print again.
