Covers for My Books in Germany and Poland

Recently I posted that a German-language collection of my Lovecraftian stories would be published by Festa Verlag (who have previously released a translation of my novel MONSTROCITY, and both hardcover and paperback editions of PUNKTOWN with slightly different contents). Well, here you see the proposed cover design for this forthcoming collection. Kind of Necroscopic! I like it!

Also, last week I accidentally (can Googling yourself be considered accidental?) stumbled upon the cover for a Polish-language book that combines my novel LETTERS FROM HADES and collection PUNKTOWN (that’s the ultimate Jeffrey Thomas one-two punch!). I hadn’t been aware it was out, and has been out for some months now. What, and no copies yet for me? NOT cool. I mean, I’m grateful it’s been published and all — and I was already paid an advance some time ago — but I hope the publisher will rectify this copies situation soon. I can’t read Polish (nor German), but I treasure my foreign translations, as they’re always beautiful. I don’t know quite what the cover of my Polish book represents — a spooky statue, in front of a wall of leaky holes? — but it’s cool in its own weird way.
