A Sneak Peek inside A Cat of Nine Tales
Here’s a peek at what the title pages will most likely look like in Rookhaven’s Occult Detective Anthology — A Cat of Nine Tales. Each story will be introduced, ala Rod Serling, by Landon Connors and his faithful (though sometimes smart-assed) familiar Boo, characters from my own Liber Mysterium series. This is my fourth or fifth attempt at wrangling these pages, each pass finding me striving to get further away from them looking like comic book pages. I think this is pretty close to the mark I was looking for.
The above illustration showcases William Meikle’s A Slim Chance, so I guess the proverbial cat’s out of the bag regarding at least one author’s inclusion in the anthology. The table of contents will be released once Tracy and Thaddeus have had a chance to pore over all the entrants.

Wow, what a clever idea. I’m loving the art and tone.

Thank you. I was looking for something to set the anthology apart from other similarly themed collections.

Also it gives it a great 70s “Night Gallery” vibe.
