POCKET APOCALYPSE cover reveal!

[seanan_mcguire]

Psst. C'mere.

So it's no secret around here that I love, love, love my DAW covers, or that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Aly Fell, who designs the covers for the InCryptid books, has been everything I could have hoped for in a cover artist. He's incredible. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:



OH MY GOD YOU GUYS OH MY GOD IT'S THE COVER TO POCKET APOCALYPSE AND IT'S GORGEOUS!

The sun is up and the wolves are out (and you know shit's gonna get bad when THAT happens) and they're in a billabong and everything! And they're both wearing clothes they would actually wear in that situation and it's just amazing.

Glee.

(As always, I claim full comment amnesty, although I love it when you comment, because I can show my cover artists and make them happy.)

Yay! Cannot wait to put that on my bookshelf!

(Also: I've been watching The Flash so I see those wolves' eyes and think, "Speedster wolves? That can't be a good thing.")

<3 These covers are always so awesome. (Goes well with the awesomeness of the series. :D)

You get the best covers. This one is, as always, flawless.

Yay! :D

And yet again, you get a cover that rocks. All hail the cover artists gods, for they are of the nifty.

Quite an awesome cover.

*grabby hands* give! :)

(it is, of course, fabulous as always).

Beautiful cover!

And yay, wolves! Hopefully they're not all bad guys in the book though?

that is a GORGEOUS cover!!!

the only possible thing a body could say ill about it is...the hold the woman has on the rifle. were she to be holding a firearm in that fashion, she would be in the process of *dropping* it, unless that was the effect the artist was going for, in which case, nevermind me.

but everything else in it? fabulous! the way the couple is arranged in the middle of the piece, the wolves, the way the trees frame the middle? absolutely breathtaking!

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

That is fabulous!

The Crocodile Hunter lives in spirit! As soon as I saw the cover I heard, "Crikey! DangerDangerDanger!" in my head. ^_^

Gorgeous! Alex looks like he needs to be holding a weapon, though...

[mneme]

That's fantastic!

Alex! And Shelby! And werewolves, apparently.

[reedrover]

I love how he's got the "It's dangerous, and not what we expected. I need to edit the write-up on it!" look. Ok, so I'm inferring a lot, but still, they both look more surprised in the "not what we expected" way rather than the "oh shit run!" way.

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

Knowing Alex, it is not at all unlikely that he'd be thinking that! :)

[sontucio.livejournal.com]

Как жизнь тупые пиндосы )))

I would very probably buy the wolves with glowy eyes even if it didn't have your name on it. (Of course, since it says "Seanan McGuire" and "An InCryptid Novel" I would buy it whatever the cover picture. But it's nice to get a pretty and intriguing picture to go with my book!)

[martianmooncrab.livejournal.com]

I still want to see the boy on the cover in those short shorts first... oh yeah...

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I can't tell if that's "Alex is hot" or "Shelby's outfit is sexist." Shelby's outfit is actually the staff uniform at Australia Zoo, so...

[alumiere.livejournal.com]

Shiny! *g*

[wood-dragon.livejournal.com]

Woo! It's gorgeous!

[asg-qa-s7.livejournal.com]

They definitely look more concerned *for* the wolves than about the wolves. Maybe they bought eye ointment from Krubnuckle's Pharmacy. (http://www.docrat.com.au/about/the-characters/)

*squeeeees really loudly*

That cover looks awesome and ho boy, I cannot wait to buy this sucker and cuddle it for awhile before devouring it.

First reaction: Want! Book! Now!

Second and more measured reaction: That's a great cover, and very much in the spirit of the books.

[guendolen-sama.livejournal.com]

Ooh, nice! I am eagerly anticipating this book- plan to get it as soon as it comes out- and this just serves to whet the appetite. :)

[tylik.livejournal.com]

Whee!

It's absolutely perfect, especially taking into consideration that it's a book cover. Though I'm amused by my own visceral reaction to having long hair loose in that environment. (Yes, it's true, my hair is currently between 2-3mm long. But it was hip length for 16 years before, oh, the Chan order, and getting tired of people grabbing it during sparring even when it was french braided really tight, and then there was Cleveland... And that was mostly 16 years of having it tied or braided up except for the occasional party, really.)

Oh, yay! :D
