Elwin Cotman: "The Jack Daniels Sessions EP"

"The Jack Daniels Sessions EP" is the first story collection from fantasy author Elwin Cotman, right. Coming out in March 2010 through Six Gallery Press, these five stories run the gamut from ghost tale to high fantasy, humor to historical. Sampling the language of urban myth, black folklore, punk rock and teen angst, they create landscapes all their own. Illustrations by Rachel Dorrett.
