Back from vacation and back to the grind… August is traditionally a slow month in publishing, but that isn’t to say there aren’t plenty of great covers around at this time of year…

The jacket art for Pond is apparently a detail from ‘Fair is foul and foul is fair’ by artist Margriet Smulders.
Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente; design & illustration by Nathan Burton (Corsair / August 2016)
Nathan’s design is a nice compliment to Will Staehle‘s cover for the US edition published by Tor Books last year:

I love “the Comet Seekers” cover. It was hard to pick a favorite, though.
