1st Paradox Comments: When I saw this cover today, I knew that it was the reason Nyarlathotep had put a camera in my pocket. I especially like the starry gulf opening up in the floor of the passageway/gullet/whatever-it-is.

Durbin Comments: This sequel to Make Way For Dragons takes place on a fantasy world. Once again, no blondes, Valley Girl fashions, giant dragons or skateboards occur in the novel.

Scott B’s Art Direction: For this cover I want a fantastical pink-purple-green eight-armed lobster-snake thing. But to bring it down to Earth I want you to paste in photographs of four human eyes. Because that won’t be incredibly creepy or anything.
