The world is stupid: throw rocks at it!

 

Such is life.

Cover of the French edition

From Presque Lune. The printing job was absolutely fantastic. The printer hated me for all the fine silver lines, but my God did he do a fantastic job. 

Abandoned cover of the self-published version

 Before I heard back from SLG, I thought I'd have to self-publish Nil, and I did up a few different versions of what it might be. I hadn't settled on the title yet, and you can see here I was considering 'Nihil Obstat'. That was later abandoned.
