In the last year, there’s been so much I haven’t been allowed to talk about – those NDAs are powerful! I had to pretend I went to Scotland on vacation! I couldn’t post anything! Now it’s all coming out. I received my advance copy of the book last month – and they’ve been keeping it under lock and key, because the images in the book all come from the film, which hasn’t been released yet. This morning, they released a first look at the book cover.
I must shout out the genius Mike Hill, who did the cover art. Not only did he do the cover art, but he designed the creature for Guillermo’s film, and also built the prosthetics – hundreds of them – and applied them to Jacob Elordi (a 9-hour process!). Mike is an amazing artist. Look at that cover. It’s so intense. The tear in the creature’s eye. I opened the book and saw the cover for the first time and had to sit down. My interview with Mike for the book was extensive. He’s so damn creative. Inspired, really.
Seeing my name on the cover was, no word of a lie, the first time this felt real.
