Watercolor illustration of three different hands against a murky green background. One hand is a child's holding a yellow trillium flower in an open palm. One hand is a young woman's crushing the same kind of flower in a fist. The third hand is an old woman's holding a withered, rotting flower. All three hands also have similar large reddish patchy birth marks on the skin.

A while ago I had the pleasure of creating illustrations for the @midworldpress.bsky.social edition of Revelator by @darylwriterguy.bsky.social. Wanted to pass on this teaser of the signature page art that Midworld shared in a recent newsletter! I'm excited to reveal more art in the coming months.

We aren't quite ready for shipping, but should start shipping them out by the end of the week. If you have not requested a matching letter yet, now is the time to do so. Please email us at info@midworldpress.com if you wish to request one.

Good evening.
For those of you that have been awaiting the Lettered Edition of Shadows Linger, we have some good news for you!
The books have finally been delivered to us! We have inspected them for shipping damages, printing flaws, etc., and hand lettered each book.

My job this weekend—sign these beautiful sig sheets for the illustrated version of REVELATOR, art by the great @joannabarnum.com soon from @midworldpress.bsky.social !

Just saw the interior illustrations for the @midworldpress.bsky.social edition of FEVER HOUSE done by @arayaart.bsky.social and GOTTDAMN, we're not ready for this one. This thing is gonna look incredible. More info soon.

Photo of the artist’s hand with a pen signing a stack of illustrated signature pages for a book. The illustration shows the hands of three different people holding trillium flowers. The text reads “This illustrated edition of Revelator by Daryl Gregory is limited to 400 copies signed by the author and artist.”

Can’t wait to reveal the finished book and more of the illustrations I did! Here you can see the printed signature pages side by side with one of the original watercolors.

Illustration of a classic Cadillac flying through the air over a chain link fence, a man in red plaid leaning out the window as the wind tussles his hair.

I have no recollection on if I posted this here or not but this was my favorite piece to draw in the special edition of "THIS BOOK IS FULL OF SPIDERS" that I illustrated for @midworldpress.bsky.social . Yes that's right I said it I *enjoyed drawing a car.*

THE LESSER DEAD and THE SUICIDE MOTOR CLUB are two of the very best vampire books I've ever read.

The cover of P Djèlí Clark's Ring Shout. The author's name is in a white serif font at the bottom, the title larger about it in the same font, but an off-white color. Above both and taking up half the page is a face made up of six variously sized eyes over an open mouth. What initially look like fangs are actually Ku Klan hoods on closer inspection.

A strange creature with a pointed skull evoking a Klan hood. It has six red eyes arranged in a row, followed by an open maw with huge white, pointed teeth. It looks a lot like something you'd see in Resident Evil or maybe Silent Hill. It is crouched in front of a burning cross with several people-shapes in Klan robes sort of blurry in the background

A Lovecraftian monster with multiple open mass and long, pinkish tentacles that look a lot like earthworms

A mean looking man with a buzz cut in overalls. He is heavyset and glaring, mouth open, teeth clenched. There are screaming mouths of all sizes marching up the arm, shoulder, and neck that are facing us.

I love the artwork by Francois Vaillincourt in this special Limited edition of P Djéli Clark's Ring Shout, it's so good! You can get a copy from @midworldpress.bsky.social - it's a seriously gorgeous book, so I'm using gloves to read it
