Cover Reveal
Blue Demon Gets Its Retro Fit
At Sinister Grin Press, we are so excited to release another book from fan favorite David Bernstein. Blue Demon was first available as a limited collector’s edition from Thunderstorm. Now, it will come out from SGP in print and e-book on December 15, 2016. You can pre-order now!
The cover design was done by the really cool and retro artist, Matt Davis. Isn’t it rockin?
“The creation of it was pretty basic, as far as my personal process goes. I create everything digitally, using Photoshop and a combination of painting and compositing elements after thoroughly researching the concept of the art and talking it over with the author or, in this case, the publisher” said Davis. “For this one, Sinister Grin wanted to see something that was as much bizarre as it was scary, to push the angle of the weird horror that the book presents. I’m a big fan of the strange and love the retro 80s aesthetic, with the neon and chrome, the glitched presentation, and Sinister Grin gave me a lot of liberties with it to which I’m pretty thankful. I think someone said the art would look amazing airbrushed on the side of a van. I think that would be awesome.”
If you like Matt’s work, more can be seen and he can be contacted at rockandhill.tumblr.com, which has samples of his covers, and xenonsisyphus.tumblr.com, which has some of his personal work.
Blue Demon, Synopsis –
When the meek need defending, they call on Blue Demon, a guardian of bloodshed and retribution. Its loyalty is forever, as long as you remain righteous. For those that oppress the demon’s flock, life grows short. It kills in the most brutal fashion, and maims those it most despises. It has no feelings, only loyalty and devotion for the ones it protects.
Of course, this is all from the Blue Demon television show and Cal Langston, Blue Demon’s biggest fan, knows such things can’t be real, at least not until the people who messed with him start dying in the most horrific of ways.
Frightened and not sure what to believe, he sets out to discover what is truly going on, and if Blue Demon is for real, does he want it watching over him?
