Finished cover: The Pilo Family Circus by Will Elliot
Posted by Paul Raven on May 12th, 2008 at 7:12
Another piece of artwork from the PS Publishing intray to brighten your Monday! Or perhaps not - I notice that I've subconsciously put this one off for a few days, and I reckon it's probably more than a little to do with my not-so-latent coulrophobia.
But nonetheless, here's Chris Roberts' eye-catching artwork:
Doubtless it's that very phobia that Will Elliot plays on in The Pilo Family Circus, which has a plot seemingly tailor-made to creep me out:
"Somewhere just above the searing flames of hell, The Pilo Family Circus is playing at a town near you. This darkest of carnivals has preyed on the souls of its audience for centuries and young Jamie has unfortunately just come the attention of the star turns - the baddest, most psychotic clown troupe you could never hope to meet.
What's more, they want him to join up ... and these are not the kind of folks who take no for an answer."
That's nightmare-inducing stuff from where I'm sat. Of course, those of you less petrified by clowns than myself may well be quite tempted by Will Elliot's surreal conceit, not to mention Roberts' artwork - in which case you should click through below and pre-order your copies.
