SHADOWS

We’re getting such incredible feedback on the cover art for SHADOWS, and people keep asking if it illustrates a particular story. Hmm …

Shadows Supernatural Tales by Masters of Modern Literature by Robert Dunbar
SHADOWS, Supernatural Tales by Masters of Modern Literature

I hadn’t really thought much about that.
Chas Hendricksen’s artwork seems more to evoke the overall atmosphere of the anthology. But now that people mention it …

It does seem particular to two of the stories. THE BECKONING FAIR ONE by Oliver Onions concerns an unseen feminine presence that destroys the work (and life) of a poor writer who moves into the house she haunts (and where the previous tenant was driven to suicide). But it’s not just men who suffer from these specters. The cover also seems to echo the spirit within Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s THE YELLOW WALLPAPER, where a phantom wrecks havoc on the female protagonist – also a writer.

Just wait till people see the back cover.
