Via Roland’s Codex:

Artwork from the Limited Edition of BEFORE THEY ARE HANGED by Joe Abercrombie

Subterranean Press is known for producing top-notch artwork for their limited edition novels. This piece from Alex Preuss is just another example. My opinion here more-or-less mirrors what I felt about the artwork released for The Blade Itself: it’s a terrific piece, full of moody atmosphere and wonderful colours… but it doesn’t really match my vision of Abercrombie’s series. Too much dystopian Science Fiction, not enough dirty European-inspired Fantasy.

Still, it’d look just lovely hanging on a wall, wouldn’t it?
