We already released the awesome Table Of Contents. Now we’re very pleased to release a preview of the cover art. Below is the full wraparound cover of the book. There may be some tiny last minute changes, but what you see here is pretty much the final version.

Blade Red Press is forever indebted to Australian artist Halinka Orszulok (www.halinka.com.au) for allowing us to use one of her darkly superb paintings as the main cover art. Check out the gallery on her website for more incredible paintings.

So, without further ado, here it is – the cover of Dark Pages Volume 1 (click for larger version):

These stories represent an excellent selection of dark speculative fiction, including fantasy, sci-fi, horror and just plain weird. The authors are a truly international bunch. We have representatives from Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, USA and the Netherlands.

This is going to be an excellent collection, certainly one of the must-have books of this year. We’re now getting into the editing and production phase. We’ll give you a sneak peak at cover art when we can and announce a publication date asap. It will be in the first half of 2010.

.

There’s also talk of Amazon rolling the Kindle reader out to other countries very soon, at least including the UK and Australia. Given that there’s no amazon.com.au, it’ll be interesting to see how they handle this situation.

You can find the Amazon Kindle editions of RealmShift here and MageSign here. Tell your friends.
