CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT cover release!

Psst. C'mere.

So it's no secret that I love the covers DAW gives me, and that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Chris McGrath has been designing Toby covers for seven books now, and he's amazing. Like, seriously amazing. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Behold the pretty:

I love the "I dare you." look that she's got going.
And books! Lots and lots of books!

When I grow up, Chris McGrath is going to design the covers for my books. He doesn't know this yet. But he will.

This is seriously beautiful. *hearts* So much attitude in one cover!

Actually she is duel wielding.
I seem to remember her having a matched pair of knives one silver one iron, or something like that.

Fantastic cover... but I think I squee'd louder at the blurb from Ms Day :)

seanan_mcguire

March 13 2013, 17:23:33 UTC 4 years ago

I'm pretty pleased about that.

Eeeee. Absolutely stunning. Love Toby's expression!

seanan_mcguire

Toby is about to kick some teeth in.

In the worldwide lottery of cover artists, you really did come up a winner. Gorgeous as always!

DAW has done so right by me.

Ahhhh! Practical clothes! Books! Having a fabulous expression and a battle stance! And mostly importantly, sweet little pointy ears peeping out of her hair. :P

He's getting good at this!

Oh no! Library of Dooom!

Can I travel ahead in time and buy a copy now?

Nah, better read Midnight Blue Light Special first. Got to be fair to Verity.

seanan_mcguire

March 13 2013, 17:24:54 UTC 4 years ago

Sadly no, but I will have copies scarily soon.

hoppytoad79

March 13 2013, 17:12:03 UTC 4 years ago

Purdy! I want the library she's in. Is this a photomanip, or art so brilliantly done it only looks like a photo?

Just a comment: it seems like Toby's face is drawn differently on the cover of each book.

seanan_mcguire

March 13 2013, 17:25:13 UTC 4 years ago

She's not drawn; he works from models, and can't always get the same girls.

SHE'S IN A LIBRARY.

She cuts someone, she better not get any blood on the books.

seanan_mcguire

March 13 2013, 17:26:39 UTC 4 years ago

She will be careful, I promise.

spectralbovine

March 13 2013, 17:40:11 UTC 4 years ago

Aaaaaaah it's great she's in a LIBRARY with BOOKS and maybe MAGIC and she's got a KNIFE and she's going to STAB FELICIA DAY wait.

So excited!

seanan_mcguire

March 13 2013, 17:55:31 UTC 4 years ago
