OCTOBER 27, 2009...

(OKAY. The freaking image doesn't want to load here or on blogger and I want to scream. Trying again...OKAY. Apparently other people can see it here but I can't. FFS! If you can't see it here either, try the blogger blog or Urban Fantasy Land: http://urbanfantasyland.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/cover-art-unholy-ghosts-by-stacia-kane/ Sorry guys, I don't know what the deal is!)






THE AFTERLIFE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen and constantly attack the living. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased. Consequently, there are many false claims of hauntings from those hoping to profit. Enter Chess Putnam, a fully-tattooed witch and freewheeling Debunker and ghost hunter. She’s got a real talent for nailing the human liars or banishing the wicked dead. But she’s keeping a dark secret from the Church: a little drug problem that’s landed her in hot and dangerous water.

Chess owes a murderous drug lord named Bump a lot of money. And Bump wants immediate payback. All Chess has to do is dispatch a very nasty species of undead from an old airport. But the job involves black magic, human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature, and crossing swords with enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of souls. Toss in lust with a rival gang leader and a dangerous attraction to Bump’s ruthless enforcer, and Chess begins to wonder if the rush is really worth it. Hell, yeah.



***Isn't that the most fantastic cover ever in the world? Seriously, I love it so freaking much!!!***

***The cover was done by a gentleman named Scott Grimando. Thank you Scott!***

Dude, that is some of the *best* urban fantasy artwork I have ever seen. Srsly. You and Caitlin (with Street Magic) have been equally blessed.

I absolutely LOVE this!! :)

Wow, that cover suits the grittiness of the description for this book/world perfectly! And it's definitely VERY different from most of the other UF covers I've seen--a definite plus!

Wow! It's so funky. It's really sad of me, but I've been checking lj all day waiting for you to post the cover and it was well worth waiting for, lol. Love the colour scheme.

That's not sad, it's awesome, thanks! I was waiting for the final copy version. :-)

Lol, I felt like a lame fangirl. But this is exactly the kind of book I love - and the fact that publishers aren't anti-drug addicted heroines gives me hope for my own languishing drug-addicted-werewolf-novel.

Thank you!! Yep, that was almost my only contribution to the cover discussion, lol: Chess looks like Bettie Page.

Lol, let's just hope it walks and runs instead of limping and crawling, sigh. :-)

Great cover. How did you get one without the obligatory butt shot?

Call me crazy, but I think Chess looks like a cross between Alyssa Milano and Betty Page.
