The fine folks at @fantasycafe reveal the sensational Tom Canty cover for THE ESSENTIAL PATRICIA A. MCKILLIP fantasybookcafe.com/2025/04/women-… #coverreveal

If you are not familiar with Patricia McKillip - now is not too late! Lifetime achievement award, so deserved, and the fact she never received a Grand Master is, to put it mildly, downright criminal. Her poetic prose and allegory are unparalleled.

Today's Women in SF&F Month post is the cover reveal of THE ESSENTIAL PATRICIA A. MCKILLIP with a giveaway of the 30th anniversary edition of the author's fantasy novel THE BOOK OF ATRIX WOLFE! fantasybookcafe.com/2025/04/women-…
