Sweet, diabolic, done

An advance copy of our forthcoming third Flora anthology was delivered yesterday via FedEx courier from the printer. It's quite lovely (the book, not the courier or the printer) and brimming with visual mischief. A street date has been announced by the publisher, Fantagraphics: first week of August. The book can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com now.

Sweetly Diabolic
features hundreds of rare and previously unpublished images from the Flora archives. The cover was designed by the godlike Laura Lindgren. It's the same size (10" x 11"; 180 pages) as our previous volumes (TMA and TCSA), and as a bookshelf companion will require just an additional 3/8" of spine space.

Received an advance copy and have been periodically looking through it this morning. In most cases a 3rd book could mean dullsville, but with Flora there's just more brilliant eye candy to gaze in wonder at. Love it.

One favorite is 'the water ghost' on pg 160. The house eyes crack me up.

There's really too much to look at. Brain melting in 5, 4, 3, 2, melted...
