Nine Bar Blues by @shereereneethomas.bsky.social
Golden mermaids, curse-bound sisterhoods, poisoned landscapes & an otherworldly earth. Evocative, inventive & contemporary tales that haunt, uplift, & ascend, while moving with the rhythm of cultural change.
ASIMOV’s cover features ice-covered mountains in the background, a teal blue horse-drawn carnival carriage, the round kind that the Rom used to travel in with red roses in the foreground and a branch full of orange fruit.
ASIMOV’s cover features a black Stargate arch with a loan figure stating at top some red and green stairs, holding a machine in the foreground with bright yellow, orange and green neon before him.
F& SF cover art features a tall man in a black & neon green duster wearing mirror shades, long black & blue green hair styled in woven locs, carrying a sword in each hand against skyscrapers with an orange and yellow swirling, Van Gogh-style sky.
