Jonathan Maberry special guest of the Second Issue of Molotov Magazine, in Italian, coming in October 2020 from Independent Legions. This issue will include stories by Brian Keene, Richard Christian Matheson, Priya Sharma, David J. Schow, Cody Coodfellow, Thersa Matsuura and others, interviews with Jonathan Maberry, Craig Spector and Stephen Jones, comics, columns, reviews and many more.

Thanks to Alessandro Manzetti for including me with a reprint of “Fabulous Beasts”. This story originally appeared on Tor.com, edited by Ellen Datlow, and won a British Fantasy Award.

The Mountain of Smoke by Jeffrey Alan Love

I am very proud to know artist Jeffrey Alan Love. It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of his work. I envy his skill. He can conjure in an image or a line what would take me pages to create.

His latest book is ” The Mountain of Smoke”. It’s described as a Jeffrey Alan Love Sketchbook. It’s a glimpse into his process but its more than that. It’s not just a book for his admirers or art lovers. It’s a motivation for writers in the way that “The Mysteries of Harris Burdick” by Chris Van Allsburg is. It’s full of texture and teeth, of mystery and inspiration.

You can buy the book direcrly from Flesk Publications in the USA as a regular or a signed deluxe edition.

Alternatively order from your local bookshop, Amazon US, or Amazon UK.

 

Monsters unseen

From out of the smoke comes the man with strange hands and the black dog(detail)

We learn not to trust our eyes (sketch)

We learn not to trust our eyes

Sharpen your sword (detail)

Even in the light of day, some seem to still br shrouded in mist

A stranger follows us

Someone to lead the way
