Cover art for Steven Erikson’s Revolvo
Posted by Paul Raven on August 25th, 2008 at 13:05
So, let’s start the week with some more cover pr0n. PS Publishing has a new novella in the pipeline from Steven Erikson, titled Revolvo. Here’s what you’ll see on the front of the finished book, based on artwork by Ben Baldwin:
And here’s the blurb for Revolvo, which sounds like it will be a wry read:
In the fictitious country of Canada the arts scene is ruled by technocrats, who thrive in a secret, nepotistic society of granting agencies, bursaries, awards and peer review boards, all designed to permit self-proclaimed artists to survive without an audience.
In Revolvo, self-proclaimed “hack genre writer” Steven Erikson provides a daring expose of creative skulduggery in the wilds of a country suffering an interminable identity crisis. The names of plenty of real people have been changed and all specific details of the setting have been messed with, so if anyone guesses a certain prairie city in the middle of Canada where the author used to live, well, you’d be plain wrong.
Besides, it was a long time ago and his memory isn’t so good.
Intriguing – and a definite change from Erikson’s usual output, which should make for an interesting contrast. Steve is an incredibly popular author, and his PS Publishing titles don’t hang about in the warehouse for long… so, with that in mind, click through below to make a pre-order if you want to be certain of completing your collection:
