Subterranean Press announced today the coming of the signed limited edition of the second novel in the Malazan book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, Deadhouse Gates. The first book was illustrated by Michael Kormack and this time, the chosen artist is J. K. Drummond.
Drummond's work was seen lately on the cover of the collected short stories book Leviathan Wept and Other Stories by Daniel Abraham, The Alchemist by Paolo Bacigalupi and The Executioness by Tobias S. Buckell, all by the same publisher.
I preferred the superb illustration of Anomander Rake with the crows and Moonspawn on the cover of Gardens of the Moon but it's not bad. Anyway, Drummond's watercolor works seem to be mostly in the same tones and style...

I'm always a fan of crows. This cover--I feel like it has at once a sexualized (and violence equated with sexuality), and anonymous quality I don't like, though the artwork itself is beautiful
I agree with you, the interesting point in this cover is the artwork itself, not really what it tries to depict...
All of the news of the Malazan series makes me want to start the books. Ha I actually have Gardens of the Moon, but has not gotten around to reading it.
and I love your blog Phil.
