The Bell at Sealey Head by Patricia A. McKillip Kinuko Y. Craft’s cover for Patricia A. McKillip’s forthcoming novel The Bell at Sealey Head has been posted at Amazon.com. Gorgeous use of contrasting colours like gold and deep aqua, and it has crows! A beautiful cover as always.

Fortunately, The Agony Column is here to satisfy curiosity somewhat with a podcast featuring McKillip reading chapter one of The Bell at Sealey Head. She’s a genius! If you’ve never read McKillip before and have no idea what her writing is like, this is your chance to sample a chapter of her dreamy, magical prose. It’s a bit harder to catch everything, but her reading is charming. Give it a listen.

The Bell at Sealey Head is due out in September 2008.
