Cover Art for the Print Version of TZC Revealed!
Mister James | Apr 21, 2009 | Comments 22
The face you are staring at is the face of someone who has been to hell and back, which is why it is the perfect representation for Escape: A Zombie Chronicles Novel.
It pretty much says it all in that one eye staring back at you. There’s blood, half of the mouth is derivative of a zombies chompers and there’s that empty, black hole staring at you on the left, inviting you to delve deeper and deeper to see just what’s inside.
This is the cover art for my debut novel from Permuted Press. Escape: A Zombie Chronicles Novel, which hits shelves this Fall. The artist is the brilliantly insane and talented Chad Michael Ward from Hollywood, California. His body of work includes cover art for novels and CD”s, art for role playing games, DVD cover and menu art for Marylin Manson and not only that but he’s also a music video director too, with about 10 of them under his belt. Chad was gracious enough to do this amazing cover for me and we should all be thankful because it rocks!
Of course, this is without the typography on it. This is just the art. The title font and my name are still to be added and I’ll be releasing that little nugget in the weeks to come.
Let me know what you guys think. Personally, I think it kicks some serious ass and is gonna look damn good sitting on your bookcase.
* TUESDAY, APRIL 21 ONLY*
I’ll be on the Projekt X Radio Show with Otter and the gang at 8pm EST talking about the art so come join in and listen!

Holy cheese balls, that is too freaking cool. I’m like a chihuahua with a weak bladder right now. Amazing. Congrats on landing a sweet artist. It’s perfect.
It is the perfect cover. I can’t wait to see it on my book shelf in triplicate!!
Sexy and disturbing- so right on the money!
I’ll repeat what I said on twitter. YOU will have to pay for the therapy I’ll need to ever sleep again after seeing that cover!
Congrats, dude.
Awesome! Just awesome! Can’t wait to hold an actual copy!
Looks great.
Whoa! That cover is awesome! Sickening-scary!
Nice job!
Awesome cover! Very creepy. I like it.

Now that is a cover worthy of TZC….love it … would hope that stores would place it face out – would be a sure sale just for the cover alone and your story would bring them back for more … ought to come with a flash drive recording of you reading the first couple chapters …
Goddamn marvelous.
I just saw this article and I am so happy to be girl on the cover. Being that I am a huge horror and zombie fan this is an honor for me.
