Check it out! The cover for NEBELBANN!

I am absolutely delighted to announce the cover release for Nebelbann, the German edition of A Local Habitation. ("Nebelbann" means, roughly, "mist-spell" or "mist-ban." It's a really spiffy compound word, and I'm thrilled.) This is being released by Egmont, my German publisher, and the cover design was done by the artist who designed the cover of Winterfluch.

Behold the pretty:



It's so different from my US covers, and so pretty, that I honestly couldn't be happier. I'm really happy.

What do you think?

It's amazing how different the approach to the same material can be from that market to this one. A little less urban, a whole lot more fae - fascinating. I'd found books were more expensive over there - with covers like this, they're worth it! (Yes, Toby can sell me a book every day of the week.)

Yeah, markets count for a lot.

Germany has done right by me.

love it!
from the colours and composition down to the font. :D
I'm so glad they're making really NICE covers for German books nowadays. I remember they were kind of... lame when I was a teenager and I used to think I wish they'd make more of an effort and always adored English and US covers. :)

I love them all. I'm really anticipating my Russian covers eagerly.

I like that a lot better than the US covers. You gonna build a cover gallery in your house? ^_^

NICE!

I want a print! Grin.

Seanan, are the Toby books or Feed, for that matter, being translated into Hebrew?

Re: NICE!

seanan_mcguire

Not yet. If people want them translated into Hebrew, a Hebrew publisher will need to acquire the rights.

Pretty!! I admit, at first I was like "no way is that Toby" but that's a combination of her own views of herself and my getting caught up in the US cover version of her. I can totally see it now that I've gotten over the "who what huh?" reaction - and in fact, the idea of the contrast between the two being a bit like the two sides of her heritage and her life is really nice.

Also? Pretty. :D

seanan_mcguire

May 18 2010, 14:44:22 UTC 7 years ago

Yes, on all counts. :)

Yay!

My copy of Winterfluch just arrived in today's post (Thank you, Powell's, for making it easy to buy the German editions from an indy bookstore) and it's lovely, through and through. I also like the inside front and back covers, which also have graphic content, in keeping with the Euro trade paperback style that has fold-out covers sort of like hardback book jackets.

seanan_mcguire

May 20 2010, 14:56:05 UTC 7 years ago

Squee!

And I love that they used Beckett's picture of me on the dust jacket (and credited her). Classy.

So is it translated into German, or being sold in Germany by a local publisher in the English words?

They're actually translated.
