Cover of "Willesden Herald: New Short Stories 10" featuring Rictus by Tanvir Bush, ed by Lane Ashfeldt and Stephen Moran, and published by Pretend Genius. The book's cover image appears to be a road surface in muted burgundy and charcoal colours, traversed vertically by a clumsily painted yellow line. Two yellow manhole covers appear like blobs of paint to the right of the line. At the top left in a serif font are the title Willesden Herald in yellow, followed by the subtitle New Short Stories 10 in white.

photos

a unique focus, an uncommon angle

A white plastic mask with soft pink feathers emerging from the eye sockets lies on a flattened gold-beaded wide-brimmed hat.

Head and shoulders shot of a woman with what appears to be a translucent lampshade of fine mesh fabric over her head. She is looking upward, wide-eyed, with her lips parted and teeth just visible. Glass beaded tassels hang from the rim of the lampshade to the level of her chin. The subject is bathed in red light against a black background.
