Peller box for Rats in the Walls

First time trying my hand at a Peller Box and it went much better than expected (considering that I did not read up on how it's done before starting). Last second I remembered that for this particular bind I need to leave some room for the hair and tail. I was a bit pressed for time so I had to do some adaptions to get it done, but I'm very happy how it turned out.

Rats in the walls - H. P. Lovecraft

More details of my binding of Rats in the Walls. The fish leather was rather rough looking but the dying and coated the surface so I could easily polish it a bit with an agate burnisher, smoothen the surface while enhancing the scale pattern on it. I also had a lot of fun with the typeset.

The size of the finished bind is roughly A8.
