New cover for TC Parker's A Press of Feathers Cover has a maroon background, with 4 framed central images Clockwise from top left: - Victorian-era portrait of a giant bird - medical illustration of a human head, side-on, skinless with muscle etc visible - Victoria-era white (likely English) woman posing for daguerreotype - a clawed human hand, covered in dirt, breaking the frame to reach out towards the audience

FEATHERS has had a makeover... and we couldn't be happier!

(A quick 🧵)

Love this new cover!! One of my favourite @tcparker.bsky.social books!

You, a woman invited to give a talk on your specialist subject: "here is why I think this, here's the evidence for my thinking, and here are my conclusions"

Every mansplainer ever: "but, just to play devil's advocate for a moment..."

*removes trousers, shits on carpet*

"what about THIS?"

Promo image for A Press Of Feathers, featuring a harpy eagle superimposed on a sky and a white woman with black eyes and a fist of red energy in the foreground Promo promises: - gruesome body horror - Stanford Prison style experiments - vengeful crows and otherworldly harpy eagles - old ghosts and haunted houses - serial killers and mutilated corpses a go go

Does anyone have any experience relaunching a book?

We're tempted to rerelease Feathers, a haunted house book I wrote a while back

@kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social did an amazing job w/ the cover - but the bird/wand/witch artwork hasn't aged well, post-TERF wizard lady

Any thoughts/tips?
