Dead Eyes looks like a psychological drama. And creepy...

The toughest round ever! Very hard to choose, but had to plump for Mr Jobling in the end, after harping on about him on Twitter!

Book Cover 4 - Wereworld - by Jobling. Visually marketable and memorable; really nice colour work and the image would look equally good on a game or other merchandise.
