#clock without hands

[mht-ea]

School assignment where we had to redesign book covers for books in a specific genre. I picked American gothic!!! I love experiencing New World horrors!!!

my chosen books were the House of the Seven Gables, We Have Always Lived in a Castle, Clock Without Hands, and Blood Meridien. I inked everything by hand, hand lettered, and colored digitally.

He opened and poured the unaccustomed wine, then drank as soberly as if he had been drinking at a wake. For the break in understanding, in sympathy, is indeed a form of death. The Judge was hurt and grieving. And when hurt has been caused by a loved one, only the loved one can comfort.
