The cover of Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. It shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face.
🦇 COVER REVEAL 🦇
I am THRILLED to show you the cover of my upcoming vampire anthology, EXQUISITE UNDEAD!
This stunning artwork is by R.E. Murray, who took my vision to an unbelievable level. It's PERFECT 🤩
