Charles Black has released the cover art for the next Black Book of Horror, which I am pleased will include my short story Lem. The magnificent and startling artwork is, of course, by Paul Mudie, who has created all of the Black Book covers so far.

Cover for The Lurkers in the Abyss by Paul Mudie

This is the cover as it will probably appear on my short story collection when it's published in October this year by Shadow Publishing.  All of the stories, which start with my very first professional sale, appear in chronological order and should show how my writing has developed over the years.

The Lurkers in the Abyss And Other Tales of Terror

 

This is the superb cover that Paul Mudie has painted for my collection based on my Lovecraftian horror story Fish Eye. 

The Lurkers in the Abyss & Other Tales of Terror - update

Things are moving along quite smoothly for the publication of my short story collection in October by Shadow Publishing. Cover artwork has been commission by Dave Sutton for my artist of choice, Paul Mudie, whose fantastic paintings have graced the covers of all the Black Books of Horror.

After some discussion it now looks as if Paul will be basing his painting on my story Fish-Eye, which is possibly the most Lovecraftian one in the book (it was first published in the Lovecraft eZine) with my own turn on the Deep Ones.
