Dear supporters,

It gives me huge pleasure to reveal Joe McLaren's brilliant cover for my debut novel, Villager. I haven't shared this on social media yet, as I wanted to give you the the first look, as a thank you for your generous early support of the book. I think the image - co-devised with Unbound's art director Mark Ecob - really encapsulates the feel of the book and works as a lovely companion piece to Joe's cover for my 2018 short story collection Help The Witch.

The pledges are still open on the Unbound page for the book for a while yet, and there's no better way to support me and my publisher than by pledging for a first edition hardback, so If you wanted to share the image on your Instagram, Twitter or Facebook page, or with any friends, that would of course be thoroughly appreciated.

All the best, and thank you again for making this happen!

Tom
