The Blue Girl - Cliff Nielsen

Is it wrong that I haven't read the book? It sounds great - punk chick gone good meets straight chick going bad. Angry fairies, a teenage ghost, and an imaginary friend. Great mix, right? Well, the cover art for this book is fantastic in it's own right.

I gotta admit I'm a sucker for striped stockings, and plaid skirts. So take my opinion with a grain of salt when I say this is a masterpiece of shade and style. Crouching shadows sneaking up on a seemingly dazed or drunken girl? Priceless.
