Synopsis
On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, in the adjoining Vale of Blakemore, or Blackmoor. The pair of legs that carried him were rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particular. An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat was ruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off. Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune.

Review
"The project started in June of 2012 as a commission job from independent U.K.-based publishing house, Oldcastle Books, who's director has an abiding love for the old pulp covers. He asked artist David Mann to produce some covers.... What Mann came up with was a literary mash-up for the ages." Cover artist David Mann discusses the process behind creating the series" --Fast Company Online
