Valancourt Books specialise in supernatural horror, gay interest and neglected classic books, reviving and re-publishing them. Their niche operation has been going on for ten years now and I was fortunate enough to be asked by them if I'd allow my mock cover for the Black Cloud, which they saw on my book review site Blurb Hack could be used for their publication of Fred Hoyle's The Black Cloud. Of course I said yes and since then I've also been asked to design a few more covers for their releases.
