Book cover of "Night Night Fawn," a novel by Jordy Rosenberg, with a blurb from Carmen Maria Machado, author of "In the Dream House". Against a black background, the title is stacked in bold lettering that transitions from hot pink to orange to gold — with the "A" in "Fawn" replaced by a dramatic image of a bird with wings spread, rendered in fiery orange and red gradient as if aflame or dissolving. Small feathers float around the letters, adding to the sense of something wild and unraveling. The author's name appears at the bottom in bright yellow.

Book cover of "The Disappointment," a novel by Scott Broker, with a blurb from Ocean Vuong calling it "an unforgettable achievement." Against a sage green background, a pair of heavy cream-colored stage curtains hangs from a valance, partially drawn open to reveal a glimpse of red lining. A person is crouched low at the base of the curtains, head down and hidden, as if hiding or collapsed — suggesting themes of shame, concealment, or a performance gone wrong.

Book cover of "The Reservation," a novel by Rebecca Kauffman, author of *I'll Come to You*. The cover features an overhead view of a messy meal on a bright turquoise table — a picked-over plate of chicken bones, a tarnished metal serving dish with sliced tomatoes and onions, scattered crumbs, and an empty water glass, conveying the aftermath of a shared but uneasy meal.

A vintage Fantastic Universe Science Fiction magazine cover, bursting with that classic mid‑century pulp energy. The scene shows a massive blue humanoid creature erupting from cracked, fiery red ground—its face twisted in a fierce, almost primal snarl as it reaches forward with outstretched hands. Tiny human figures stand in the foreground, dwarfed by its size, watching or confronting it against a rugged, alien landscape under a star‑filled sky.
The title banner sits at the top, with the issue dated May and priced at 35 cents. Below the artwork is a dramatic teaser about fear spreading through humanity “until The White Rain Came,” credited to Jacques Jean Ferrat.
