Hallowe’en Treats from artist Duncan Long

By John Freeman on October 20, 2010

Illustrator Duncan Long – featured in SciFi Art Now – is giving friends and fans two free ebooks to celebrate the Hallowe’en season: Edgar Allan Poe’s Eleonora (for which Duncan did the cover and inner illustrations for as well as the layout): and The Raven, which he published online last year.

“Please feel free to share one or both ebooks with friends,” he offers. The books are a clever way to promote his work – let’s hope that by sharing them here it helps him get some!
