No cover art yet, but I am considering running a "cover art contest" to generate interest in the project. Check back for details.
In the meantime, let's use this space to introduce some of our characters:
Meet the Boogie-Man, Alice's constant companion and protector. They seem an odd pair, don't they? And yet he seems to enjoy her company. Or maybe he just appreciates the opportunities to flex those ages-old muscles and kick some ass now and then.
He's tall, of course, that's the first thing you notice. A very tall man at first glance. But after, if you let your gaze linger a while, you begin to notice something odd about his proportions. The arms are too long, the fingers too crooked, bent once too many times by an extra set of knuckles. His eyes are too big, and they see too much. And his mouth, oh grandma! What a large mouth he has and lots and lots of teeth to fill it. He'll wear blue jeans, of course, and fine black boots that stomp when he steps. A belt and flannel shirt and a long brown duster that fills out his too-thin frame. And a nice hat, an old fedora let's say, something like Freddy Krueger or Indiana Jones.
He's a monster, make no mistake. He's lived in the Nacre Expanse for ages, creeping out at night to feast on the flesh of the weak and frightened. He is vicious and cunning, and always hungry. And yet, he hunts with a childlike whimsy that seems out of place for such an ancient creature.
Well. They say you are who you eat.
