I ventured to Vancouver, WA Yesterday in search of the new Covid vaccine, and had a pleasant lunch with a certain John Shirley. We discussed some upcoming Jackanapes Press projects, Blue Oyster Cult, and other things. Stay tuned... 👽🎃👻😈

Here's my cover for A FEW ODD SOULS by John R. Fultz! This is a spectacular, unique take on epic fantasy, and will appeal to lovers of horror and dark fantasy in the vein of Tanith Lee and Clark Ashton Smith. Preorder it now at Jackanapes Press and get bookplate signed by the author.
Shipping in October! A FEW ODD SOULS by John R. Fultz is now up for preorder. It's a standalone epic of weird fantasy set in highly imaginative worlds of strangeness and horror.

Such a great album. I can't wait for the next John Shirley/Jerry King project.

#prog #progrock
The entire album with prog rock legend Jerry King. Vocals and words by me, music mostly by Jerry King. Got a good review in Prog magazine. Multifarious stylistically.
