I’ve been clearing out an old external hard drive tonight as I attempt to get myself organised for the new year ahead. While doing so I came across this rough cover design for the first Invisible Fiends book, Mr Mumbles. The art, as ever, is by the brilliant Jonny Duddle.
Which cover do you think is best – this one, or the one that actually appeared on the final book?
Concept cover for Mr Mumbles
As if that’s not scary enough, I also came across a photograph I took at the house we lived in until very recently. It was an old farm house and prone to the odd spider infestation. I saw this ‘un clinging to a net curtain one day and had to take a photograph. Shortly afterwards I killed it by luring it outside then hitting it with the car. Make sure you click the image to see it in its full hairy-kneed horror…
Run! Run for your very lives!
Frickin’ horrible, isn’t it? No wonder we left.
And that’s it for today. No blog tomorrow, but be back here on Monday when I’ll be posting some new advice for writers. Assuming the spiders don’t get me.
