Cover image of Fourth Seed, book 4 in Terry Jackman’s Worlds Apart collective, by Alison Buck and Space Fabricator. Against a starry background, a planet fills most of the right hand side of the image. It is an earth-like planet, with oceans, green and brown areas of land and cloud formations in places. In orbit above the planet is a huge spaceship, in menacing red, with a single gold stripe across the top. It appears to be comprised of large flat spaceship, with a more dome-like second craft nestled into the dimpled top. the title is at the top of the image in white stylised capital letters, and the author’s name is at the bottom of the image in the same style of letters.

Cover image by Alison Buck for The Fall of Faerie by Rebecca Hall, the first book in The Avalon Revolution series. The cover depicts a misty road, in a town, although no buildings can be seen through the mist, a starry sky is just visible above the mist. Wlaking out of the mist towards the viewer is a young girl perhaps aged 10 or 11, wearing fluffy white rabbit slippers, blue-green pyjamas emblazoned with rabbit faces, and clutching a stuufed rabbit toy. She has black hair hanging down in two plaits, one either side of her face. Her eyes are mysteriously not visible. Behind her, just discernable in the mist is a bus that has crashed into a lamp-post and a cyclist who has fallen off his bicycle, which is lying on the ground. At the top of the cover the words The Avalon Revolution are in white, with the title The Fall of Faerie below in larger white letters. At the bottom of the cover the name REBECCA HALL is written in golden letters.

This new fantasy series is set on the misty isle of Avalon, but in the present not in the days of yore. Avalon is now home to humans, fae, and immortals from many pantheons.

Renowned space artist Alex Storer has yet again created a beautiful cover, depicting the station in orbit around Mars. Simon had envisioned the setting for his book but never expected to actually see it, “images like that had been in my head for some time, and it was wonderful to see them for real.”

Cover image of the Twisted Road written by Simon Kewin, artwork by Alex Storer. The cover depicts a metallic space station in the shape of a large möbius strip, in orbit around the planet Mars. Various lights are shining through portholes in the station and a docking bay is visible and well-lit. Approaching the station is a small spaceship. At the top of the image are the words THE MÖBIUS SEQUENCE 1 in white. Below that in larger white type is the title THE TWISTED ROAD. Towards the bottom of the page is the author’s name SIMON KEWIN in golden letters.

The cover of The Devil’s Halo by Rhys Hughes was designed by Alison Buck. It consists of tessellations of a monochrome seated demon figure with a halo. The demon in the centre of the cover has a halo which is coloured gold. The artwork is very much an homage to M.C. Escher who produced many tessellated images.

For those of you in the contiguous US, there’s a competition to win a copy of The Devil’s Halo by Rhys Hughes on a subreddit devoted to Weird Literature.

Map of the Five Lands from the Cursed Weapons trilogy by Aerin Apeltun. There are four irregularly shaped islands, two larger islands: one at the top of the map roughly shaped like an inverted letter L, which contains the two lands of Mere and Flos; the other at the bottom of the map, the land of Aerba. To the right is the smaller island, the land of Trew. In the middle, surrounded by the other islands, is a much smaller island, the land of Iolite.
