Could this be the cover of the Sherlock Holmes novella I've been blabbing about? Why yes, I believe it could be. If you think this is cool (and I do), wait until you see the rest of the book. The art folks at Quirk Books are going all out for this one. They even nailed the waterstain on a 110-year-old envelope. What's really fun is that I have two wildly different books appearing this November: The Crimes of Dr. Watson, which is Victorian-era whodunnit, and Severance Package, a modern-day thriller. And yet, both feature dismemberment. Go figure.

First Look: The Crimes of Dr. Watson

Very cool! Can't wait to see the Holmes book.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, man. That is GOOD.
ReplyDeleteDismemberment's where it's at. Very nice cover.
ReplyDeleteDuane,
ReplyDeleteSlow down, man! How do you think being this prolific makes the rest of us feel?
I hope to Dickens you are familiar with this annual diversion that Stanford sponsors: they rerelease selected Holmes tales -- in serial form -- as they were originally printed, and illustrated in The Strand Magazine.
ReplyDeleteThey're also covering A Tale of Two Cities and Hard Times this year. You can get them via snail mail (for a small fee but particularly gratifying) or electronically.
As Hip-Hop Spock would say:
ReplyDeleteArt.
Dope.
Fantasic cover art! It's sure to be successful based on looks alone
