Photo of the artistโ€™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 โ€œThis illustrated edition of Revelator by Daryl Gregory is limited to 400 copies signed by the author and artist.โ€

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.*

While NOSFERATU's got everyone talking vampires, don't miss out on @buehlmeister.bsky.social's thrilling novel THE LESSER DEAD. And do yourself a favor: listen to Buehlman narrate it! Haven't heard an author voice his own work this well since Blatty's THE EXORCISTโญ

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

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

The cover of P Djรจlรญ 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 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.
