This is the latest iteration of the cover for my forthcoming Collected Short Stories, which Gollancz are putting out next year. It is, in a nutshell, yet another blinder played by the genius people at Blacksheep. I’m very conscious how lucky I have been with my cover art, and each of the last few (all Blacksheep designs) have upped the bar. I didn’t think it was possible to get any better than the cover for Jack Glass, but this comes close to topping it.

I have a bit of a thing for covers on books and this has got to be one of my favourites for quite some time.

Also, I’m very much looking forward to reading some short stories from Roberts as I love him as a novelist. Anyone know if he has any shorts that are easily accessible at the minute?
