I do not say this enough, but here it is

I suppose we could have a philosophical debate on the matter of freedom, but this more about why art always amazed me as a kid. It was for the simple fact that if I wanted, I could create anything I set my mind to. It was in this that whenever I felt trapped, I was still free. So he’s to all the people out there and the things that make them feel free.

Kuha Karuhas pavilion in Phraya Nakhon Cave, Thailand

The throne in this cave was built in the late 19th century during the reign of the Thai king Chulalongkorn. It’s managed by Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, less than 11 miles away, so many visitors to that mountainous park on the Gulf of Thailand coast include the cave on their itinerary. A hole in the cave’s ceiling floods the chamber with light every morning, a feature that’s understandably irresistible to photographers.

Salina Turda salt mine in Turda, Romania

“From this angle, it looks like it could be part of a science fiction film, but Salina Turda is plain old science fact. Salt mining in this part of Romania dates back at least 1,000 years, though there’s evidence that salt was mined at this location as early as the Roman occupation of the area nearly 2,000 years ago. Today Salina Turda is an unusual tourist attraction. Visitors can see the old mine shafts, with salt pillars still standing off to the side, and book a session of halotherapy—spa treatments using salt” Courtesy of Bing

Mountain trail in Madeira, Portugal

“Beyond the biodiverse forests on the outer edges of Madeira Island, the land rises, reminding hikers that this Portuguese island is the tip of a shield volcano. Trails allow passage up into these higher elevations, including paths created from the island’s old (and still functioning) aqueduct system. Some of the decommissioned channels, called levadas, have been repurposed as hiking trails.”

Castelmezzano, Italy

“At night, the golden glow of Castelmezzano makes the southern Italian village look like a river of light, coursing through the countryside. Historians think the specific variant of Italian unique to this village was once widely spoken across southern Italy. Today, the local tongue just adds to the charm of Castelmezzano.”

http://bit.ly/NeverwherePulp (I loved his initial sketch, but I asked Robert McGinnis to add the rats when he painted it.)

The cover was inspired by early 70s gothic romances, and Todd Klein did the Title and lettering style inspired by them. Gloriously retro.

I love the retro art style, but is that supposed to be Door? It looks like her, but I can’t recall her wearing anything like that in the book

I have been pondering this since the covers came in. I figure it is either:

a) Door, injured at the start of the book. (Although she doesn’t ever wear anything like this in the book, she must at some point have dressed up posh.)

b) Jessica, Richard’s fiancee, thinking about the underground.

c) Lamia dressed in bright (for her) colours, perhaps on her day off.

d) someone else.

But I didn’t mind. I felt like the covers for Stardust and Anansi Boys were pretty literal. This was more evocative of what Neverwhere made Robert McGinnis think and feel and want to paint, and I liked the fact it had a woman on it and no man, and a woman who wasn’t smiling and seemed both interesting and slightly dangerous. I think I like how it makes me feel about the book…
