A diagram of a seance in which a table has risen from the ground as two women rest their hands upon it. Below the table, we can see that it is being manipulated by a male figure. The male figure's head has been swapped with Elon Musk's. The background is a slightly desaturated Brazilian flag.

My ebooks and audiobooks (from FSGxMCD, Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
