Positioned as an oral history of the zombie war, the book is made up of short interviews with various people from around the world as they recount their experiences to the author. It's an awesome book which I highly recommend. For my cover, I've got the zombie hoard approaching from the top, while the humans below run for their lives.

Josh's family gets a free AOL CD in the mail and they decide to install it. When they sign on, they're automatically logged onto their Facebook pages. But Facebook hasn't been invented yet. And they're looking at themselves fifteen years in the future. By refreshing their pages, they learn that making different decisions now will affect the outcome of their lives later. For my concept, I played with the iconic Facebook thumbs up "Like" symbol. Because Josh and Emma have different reactions and opinions of their future selves, I thought it might be fun to print a run of covers that have the thumbs up and some that have the thumbs down.

As a man returns home on the eve of his mother's death to the mysterious hometown his grandfather helped found, we experience the tall tales of his family's history. Fans of Big Fish and just about anyone else will love this book. Go read it now. Here are two concepts that ultimately didn't get used for the paperback printing of the book, both hinting at the isolation to be found in the long winters indoors as well as the mysterious power of memories (via the wispy smoke spilling out of the chimney) that, like the snow outside, tend to pile up larger than life.
