Thrilled to share the spectacular cover artwork done by Jinx Inks (linktr.ee/art.jinxinks) for our forthcoming anthology WILD AND FULL OF MARVELS: QUEER FANWORKS INSPIRED BY FOLKLORE AND FAIRY TALES. Kickstarting July 8! Follow our pre-launch page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...

The cover of a book entitled Wild and Full of Marvels: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales. It features an elaborate, fantasy-sinpired border in shades of blue and green, with fairies lifting a gauzy veil to reveal a fantasy scene below of a white mermaid with blonde hair drawing her hair back to reveal her bare torso and curve of her back, which segues into a pink-purple mermaid tail. In the foreground is a slim, muscular darker-skinned woman with long black hair in a braid held back by a bandana. She wears simple clothes and stands knee-deep in the water, and is pulling on a rope as if to tow in something not in view. Her gaze meets that of the mermaid, who raises a hand with webs between the fingers in an inviting beckon.

This is a great piece, and I'd never made this connection to War of the Worlds before despite knowing about Wells' politics. It just re-affirms that there is no such thing as apolitical science fiction.
