MAGIC FOR NOTHING cover reveal!

Here we go again.

So it's no secret around here that I love, love, love my DAW covers, or that showing them off is one of my true pure joys in life. Aly Fell, the artist who does the art for the InCryptid books, has been hugely involved in setting the look of the series, and he just keeps on getting better. Want proof?

Go ahead. Take a peek.

Cut-tagged for the protection of your friends' list, which really doesn't need something this huge suddenly showing up without warning. But trust me, you should totally click.Collapse )

That looks awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing Antimony in action too. :)
Love it...I fear for the person she's going to use that explosive on though ;-)
Will be the first title on shelf 2 of seanan mcguire books. You'll have to have a whole bookcase soon. Like the cover - looks a bit like my daughter - although she's a lot younger, same hair though.
I am excited to rate a bookcase!
This is my favorite InCryptid cover to date.
OMG it's gorgeous and also it will come out in time for my birthday!
Beautiful, perfect, flawless, amazing, etc. :D And the explosives attached to the trapeze, LOL! That seems very Antimony.

So excited for this book!!
Whoot! It's Antimony! And she has dynamite (quelle surprise).

And it looks fantastic!
Magic for nothing, tricks for free? I can dig that. :-D Totally looking forward to seeing Antimony shine in a novel-length story of her own.
I love it! I just realized I will be on maternity leave when this releases and it will be such a present to myself to read!!
This is pretty much perfection. I can't wait for this one!
SO MUCH EXCITE!
Wheeeee! Things that go boom!
I love it!
Neeeeeeeeeeeeed.
Oh godoness! I'm delighted to meet Antimony in her first full-length story, because I've loved what I've seen of her (and because as you can tell by my username Antimony is one of my favourite words). And this cover is so fun! She looks all cute and hanging out, with a drink in her hand— no wait that's not a drink. That's not a cute thing that's happening. ANTIMONY NO!

*trundles off, delighted*
The book blurb can be found on Goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30712676-magic-for-nothing
It offers some interesting plot clues and really make me want it to be March.

Annie looks beautiful on the cover. She looks strong, capable and mischievous. She doesn't look like Alice or Verity, though they are strong, capable and beautiful too. I wonder if Antimony ever tried to top Fran's talents at the circus.
That is gorgeous! The movement with the hair and the dynamite is just lovely!
This cover delights me SO MUCH.

Aly's work is always so on point.
Squee!!! Absolutely gorgeous cover, I just pre-ordered it. :-)

My previous comment inspired me.

Please enjoy this parody of the Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing", which of course is called "Magic For Nothing" after your book, Ms. McGuire. It's about the Price family, and all standard disclaimers apply.

(I want my,
I want my tricks for free-
I want my,
I want my tricks for free....
I want my,
I want my tricks for free-
I want my,
I want my tricks for free....)

Now look at these lindworms, that’s the way you do it;
They have dens underground so folks can’t see.
If Sarah’s workin', here’s the way she’ll do it:
Magic for nothin', and your tricks for free.
If that ain’t workin', there’s how the Prices do it;
Lemme tell ya, they sure ain’t dumb.
Workin' ’til there’s blisters on their little fingers,
Workin' ‘til there’s blisters on their thumbs.

We gotta save these folks from the Coven*,
We’re not in it for the fame or prai-ai-ai-ai-aise!
We’ve got to move these Pliny’s Gorgons
Far away from that cockatrice’s gaaaaaaze!

See the Sasquatch with the earring and the shave job?
Yeah buddy, that’s his own hair.
That Sasquatch’s got his own jet airplane,
That Sasquatch sure is a millionaire.

We gotta save these folks from the Coven,
We’re not in it for the fame or prai-ai-ai-ai-aise!
We gotta move the wadjet and Aeslin
Far away from the dire boar’s raaaaage!

I should’ve run so long and far;
Responsibility’s so darn dumb.
Look at my partner, stickin’ with the cameras;
Aw man, we really had some fun.
If that ain’t workin', here’s the way you do it:
Get your magic for nothin', your tricks for free.

We gotta save these folks from the Coven,
We’re not in it for the fame or prai-ai-ai-ai-aise!
We got to keep these yowies and frickins
Far away from the border imps’ raaaaaage!

If that ain’t workin', here’s the way you do it;
Try some explosives and manic glee.
That ain’t workin', here’s the way you do it:
Magic for nothin', and tricks for free.
(I want my, I want my, I want my tricks for free!)
Magic for nothin', tricks for free!
(I want my, I want my, I want my tricks for free!)
Magic for nothin', tricks for free!


(*I apologize for butchering the Covenant’s name. I had to make it rhyme with “oven” somehow.)
Awesome cover for what I am sure will be an awesome book.
