The Rag has been the least commercially successful of my novels, but I don't think you can blame the covers for that. By and large, they have been pretty good.

The Nemo Press limited edition features artwork by Victor Moscoso, one of the great psychedelic artists of the 60s, renowned for his album covers and Fillmore posters. His wraparound cover includes negative writing on both sides. I've discovered that most readers never see the words until they are pointed out... and some can't see them even then.

The gorgeous Croatian HCis also worthy of note. In addition to his dramatic cover, Igor Kordej also included full-color endpapers with the four Nazgul LP album covers as described in the novel.
