Final cover for Inferno, plus TOC

[ellen_datlow]

I just got the final cover (back and front, but as I don't have a paid account or photobucket, I can't attach jpg files. I was able to use the url from my website to bring over the front cover at least) and I love it! Peter Straub and Joe R. Lansdale kindly give us blurbs (you can see Peter's on the front cover below). Inferno is my first non-theme horror anthology and is coming out from Tor in early December.
Below is the final order of stories:

Riding Bitch K.W. Jeter
Misadventure Stephen Gallagher
The Forest Laird Barron
The Monsters of Heaven Nathan Ballingrud
Inelastic Collisions Elizabeth Bear
The Uninvited Christopher Fowler
13 O’clock Mike O’Driscoll

An Apiary of White Bees Lee Thomas
The Keeper P. D. Cacek

You go anthology queen :)

I'm getting a kick out of the mention of the New York Times on the front cover. There's some poetic justice in there somewhere.

and yeah those folk are kinda scary. It's a memorable cover.

I love that cover. The masks make it very eerie and the fonts work very well with the title.

Very nice. Love the clean design.

Nice cover. I had a chance to read "Lives" a while back and enjoyed it quite a bit. I even told John I was certain the story would find a good home. Turns out I was right. :)

Hmmm, Bear, Shepard, Cadigan -- I don't usually read horror, but maybe I can push the library to get this.

Great cover. I love the masks and flames. Nice lineup too.

I'm very excited by this--it should be the horror anthology of the year, I reckon!

I asked the designer of the wonderful cover, Tor's Peter Lutjen, the name of the typeface and he told me it's called Xodus --with some customization to make some of the letters more legible.
