I’ve been dying to share the Zoo City cover artwork by the amazing (and amazingly humble and generous and nice) John Picacio for ages and ages and ages. Trust me, AGES. And I’m terrible at keeping things in.
So I’ve very happy it’s finally out there in the world (and here on BookSA, which is technically part of the world) and it’s been getting some great reactions already.
Here’s a round-up of some of them.

And here’s John Picacio on the making-of.
As for what Zoo City is? Here’s Angry Robot‘s blurb:
