Cover idea for a collection of short stories I read earlier this year. For fans of old-school sword and sorcery fiction, Nifft the Lean boasts a creative and memorable combination of Jack Vance-ian fantasy with the grotesque hellscapes and demonic menageries of Hieronymous Bosch. 

Nifft the Lean won the World Fantasy Award for best Novel in 1983, against such competitors as George R.R. Martin and Gene Wolfe.
