I wrote a piece about the cover for my last book (The Crow Gods, Sidhe Press). https://sidhe-press.eu/books/the-crow-gods/
That is a fantastic cover, and I was pretty sure I wouldn’t get anything as wonderful this time round.
I was, of course, completely wrong.
The cover to this book is just fabulous, in every sense of the word. I’m a massive fan of Sarah-Jane Crowson. She creates dark, surreal, beautiful images – collages of words and visual elements that are not only beautiful, but thought provoking. They draw you in to a strange world of crinolined birds and stars and blue distances. If you’d told me a year ago that she would be designing a book cover for me, I’d have – I don’t know – scoffed. I’d have laughed at you.
But she did. And it’s gorgeous. I’m wondering if you can frame a book and put it on the wall. She has given me an image that feels like a distillation of the feeling I hope you get from the collection. There are traces of old myths here, and I hope that there are new ones. Things half seen, half remembered.
You should check out Sarah-Jane’s website. She’s a marvel. https://scrowson.myportfolio.com/in-the-dream-garden-thoughts-are-jewels
