Book cover design and illustration for After the Fall by book cover illustrator Duncan Long

I recently sold “Nuked” for use as the cover on John Backus’ post-apocalyptic adventure novel Hunter – After the Fall.

I created this illustration a long time ago, and it has always been a (somewhat chilling) favorite, perhaps reflecting the fears of those of us who grew up at the tail end of the Cold War, a possibility that lurked in the dark like the Boogeyman in the closet.

It’s nice the illustration finally has a home. I’m betting the novel will do a little terrifying of its own, taking up where the cover leaves off, and perhaps playing the part of the Boggeyman in the reader’s subconscious.
