Vincent Chong has a book of his art coming out

[realthog]

A note arrived this morning from the wunderkind of British fantasy illustration, Vinny Chong, to say that at last there's a book of his artwork on its way: Altered Visions: The Art of Vincent Chong, to be published March 25 by Telos. (I'm not sure yet if there's to be a US publisher/distribution.) You can find details by clicking here and then, once on the Telos site, by clicking on the "Original and Classic Fiction" icon on the right. (Real intuitive, yep?)

The book's to be launched at the World Horror Convention in Brighton, and I'd be surprised if Telos find themselves taking many copies home afterwards.

Vinny did the cover for my 2008/9 novella The City in These Pages (PS Publishing; see icon above), and blew my mind with it. Like every author who's ever had a Chong cover, I'm hoping I'll get another somewhere down the line . . .

What's really making me fed up, of course, is that I'm no longer with Paper Tiger (such of that imprint as is left). This is a book I'd have loved to have published. Oh, well, dammit.

Fantastic news, but damn, a few more months down the line and the cover he's doing for my book might have been in it. (Yeah, I really am that publicity-seeking!) I hope Vinnie attends Fantasycon in September. A signed copy of his book will be something to treasure.

Ah, just followed the links. They come signed by Vinnie and Simon Clark and will be a limited edition. Guess I'd better get me plastic out then.

Hm. You make me wonder if the The City in These Pages cover's going to be in there. I shall ask . . .

Oh, excellent. I will look out for it.
