Book cover created for a new weird noir anthology edited by K.A. Laity:

“On the gritty backstreets of a crumbling city, tough dames and dangerous men
trade barbs, witticisms and a few gunshots. But there’s a new twist where

Featuring thugs who sprout claws and fangs, gangsters with tentacles and the
occasional succubus siren. The ambience is pure noir but the characters

through H. P. Lovecraft. Mad, bad and truly dangerous to know, but
irresistible all the same.”
