Miss Abracadabra by Tom Ross
In lyrical prose, debut author Tom Ross tells a story of intergenerational change and conflict in a Black American family in the pre-Civil Rights era. My design for this cover played upon several excerpts I collected from the book that allude to “the vast cold dark,” “a drowned world,” and a “dark, out of site […]
Lend Me Your Character by Dubravka Ugresic
Dubravka Ugresic’s novella “Štefica Cvek in the Jaws of Life” opens this new edition of one of her most beloved collections, Lend Me Your Character.

I liked the sass in the original cover but we gravitated toward the tongue-in-cheek reference to the “Thank you for Not” signage for this edition. A little […]
