We are pleased to present the cover for our second title, IN SITU:

The cover was created by Oliver Wetter, who also did the cover art for Cthulhurotica!

Oliver designed this custom image from “You’ll Always Have The Burden With You“, by Ken Liu, which appears in the book. Ken was kind enough to work with the artist on design elements so we could have a cover which captures unique details from his story while still retaining the classic sci-fi look we were going for.

Thanks again, Ken and Oliver!
