Nethereal Character Reveal: Nakvin

Ever since my breakout horror-adventure novel Nethereal debuted almost ten years ago, readers have been approaching me to share their desire to not just read more about the book’s intriguing characters, but to see them. It was an impulse I resised at first because one competitive advantage of books is audience participation in the visuals. After all, nothing I can describe could be as fascinating—or terrifying—as what your imagination can conjure from my hints.

But many of you will be glad to know that your fellow readers have at last prevailed upon me to commit Nethereal’s celebrated characters to concrete visual media. Submitted here for your viewing pleasure is the first character from the Campbell-nominated novel to receive an official portrait: Head Steersman and surgeon of the Shibboleth: Nakvin …

I have to admit, it’s fascinating—and more than a little strange—to see a character that’s been floating around in my head for years represented in a definite form.

What do you think? If readers enjoy the new character portraits, we may just have more of them.

Let us know in the comments.
