The internal illustrations by Chris Odgers are monochrome, finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings with a dark, gothic atmosphere. His work features hooded figures, dramatic shadowing, and intricate narrative scenes that echo the novel's macabre, black-hearted tone. Odgers is known within UK small-press horror and graphic art circles for his distinctive line-art style and has developed a modest cult following among collectors. The artwork is crisp, well-printed, and visually enhances the presentation of this limited edition. Place of Publication: Leicester, UK.Year: 2009 (First Edition - Signed Limited Edition, 35/100).
