The Venom of Vipers - science fiction novel - Page 3

I liked looking at the old cover.

kcmay · 01-18-2011, 02:37 PM

Aww! Don't you think it looked a bit like a vampire story?

AndrewH · 01-18-2011, 03:43 PM

I try not to make judgements based on the cover, but that ultra blue eye on the new cover is unnerving!

kcmay · 01-18-2011, 07:15 PM

Hahaha! It's actually a security camera mounted on a pole. You have to look closely at the enlarged image, but yeah. That's one of the things I liked best about it when the artist first sent it to me!

I think the new cover is awesome - but something bothers me about how your name is presented. If I work out what bothers me I'll let you know.

Is that the same guy that does Konrath's covers?

kcmay · 01-24-2011, 09:28 AM

Yep, that's him. Carl Graves of ExtendedImagery.com. He does Lee Goldberg's as well.
