The Red Green Show.

My pal, Mark Masztal did two versions of an illustration for my zombie novel, THE LIVING END.

One is a rot-green that lends itself to a feeling of sickness and dissolution, and quite appropriate for a novel that concerns itself with zombies. The second version was highlighted in red, which is great for a novel of action and all-out zombie violence. I like them both, and here they are:

THE LIVING END: green version

Let me know what Brendan Deneen thinks or even any word form Scott Allie. I feel this one is THE one for both of us.

I'm still getting a split decision on green or red...but red seems to be winning.

They're both good choices. For sheer emotional impact, red is always good. But for moodiness the green does a better job.
