Thrilled to share that Dune: Messiah by Frank Herbert is now available as part of The Christmas Collection from The Folio Society! It was a dream creating 8 interiors, 10 chapter headings, cover, and slipcase for this illustrated edition. • I feel incredibly fortunate to have created work for a book I love so much, and I hope the images contribute something extra for readers. A huge thank you to The Folio Society and AD Sheri Gee for trusting me with this project and for taking such care in the production details. The end product is a stunning collector’s item that I’m very proud to be a part of. I can’t wait to share more of the work with you. • On creating the cover (without spoilers): The cover depicts Alia dressed in ceremonial garb as the head of the empire’s religious wing. Her rites and rituals strengthen the symbolism around Muad’Dib: a lowly desert creature transformed into an infinite godhead.

We wanted to keep continuity with FS’s edition of the first book, illustrated by Sam Weber (incidentally one of my favorite illustrators). So, Alia’s veil is a link back to Sam’s final illustration in Dune, which depicts Alia as small child. For me, the veil is a nod to the danger of prescience to lock the practitioner onto a fixed path, paradoxically limiting their view. Increasingly in Dune: Messiah, Alia represents religious dogma and the danger of having “blind faith” in a supreme figure or philosophy, so obscuring her eyesight seemed appropriate. And we also get this fitting line early in DM: “Such a rich store of myths enfolds Paul Muad’Dib…and his sister, Alia, it is difficult to see the real persons behind these veils.”

There is such a particular beauty to old covers. Not to say there aren’t absolutely stunning covers now-a-days, I just enjoy and miss the aesthetic of hand-painted artworks crafted for a cover you might only spend a total of twenty seconds looking at.

Abstract covers can be beautiful, for sure, but not every story, or genre, requires ambiguity in its packaging. I think a wonderful romp through this particular style of cover is the nonfiction book Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix. (Whose fiction I am currently binging) The added benefit, I feel, of this book is the attention it draws to the artists behind these covers! There is a huge industry of massively talented artists out there who created these memorable and breathtaking pieces. Personal opinion, it’d be great if not just the authors got to become names known by the public. Wouldn’t it be cool if all the folks who had a direct hand in shaping the final product of the book, artists, editors, etc. could be more openly credited? Yes, yes, names often appear inside the book… in small text… on the copyright page. I’m thinking more prominently than that though. Like credits on a film.

Some of my favorite covers are those that capture your attention, arresting you in your book shopping, and demand that you take a peak, see what lies inside. Then, of course, about six hours of reading in, you realize the cover has bloody all to do with the book you’re actually reading. Some of the reprintings of H.P. Lovecraft’s works or some older sci-fi will have this strange occurrence. Where it almost feels as though the artist was given the title of the work, and nothing else to work off. 

Then there are the others which come straight out and tell you exactly what’s about to happen and only upon finishing the book do you realize how many spoilers were right there in the cover art. Ballsy.

"korkmamalıyım. korku katilidir aklın. korku, mutlak yıkın getiren küçük ölümdür. korkumla yüzleşeceğim. onun etrafımdan ve içimden geçip gitmesine izin vereceğim. ve geçip gittiğinde, onun izlediği yolu görmek için iç gözümü kullanacağım. korkunun geçtiği yerde hiçbir şey olmayacak. yalnızca ben kalacağım." s.22

"ben bir süreçler tiyatrosuyum, diye düşündü. kusurlu görüntülerin, ırksal bilincin ve onun korkunç gayesinin kurbanıyım." s.496

Arthur C. Clarke'ın "Yüzüklerin Efendisi dışında bu kitapla kıyaslanacak başka bir kitap yok." dedi Dune bilimkurgu kelimesinin karşılığını tek başına doldurabilecek nitelikte olan sayılı romanlardan biri. Frank Herbert birçok mitoloji ve tarihsel olaylardan yararlandığı bu kitapta Dune adıyla bilinen Arrakis gezegenini anlatır. Bir çöl gezegeni olan bu yerde baharat adı verilen uyuşturu maddenin çıkarıldığı tek gezegendir. Padişah İmparator'un isteği üzerine Harkonnen Hanedanı yerine Atreides Hanedanı'nın yönetmeye başlayacak olmasıyla tüm değişimler de gerçekleşir. Dune gezegeninin yerel sakinleri olan Fremen kavmi de kendilerini kurtaracak, çöl gezegenini bir cennet bahçesine çevirecek mesih bekleyişi içindedir. "Dune, kuma gömülü kehanetlerin suya ulaşma mücadelesi." olarak bizim karşımıza çıkar.

"din ile siyaset aynı arabada gittiğinde, sürücüler karşılarında hiçbir şeyin duramayacağını sanır. dümdüz gider, hızlandıkça hızlanırlar. engelleri tamamen göz ardı eder, körlemesine gidenlerin uçurumu çok geç fark edeceğini unuturlar." s.499

"insanın içi kararıyor, diye düşündü. beklemek bir süre sonra insanın içini sıkmaya başlıyor." s.512

"bizi yendilerini sanan sizler. babil'in yıkıldığını ve oradaki her şeyin harap olduğunu söylüyorsunuz kendinize. ama ben de size diyorum ki insanoğlu hâlâ yargılanmaktadır; herkes kendi sanık sandalyesinde tek başınadır. her insan, küçük bir savaştır." s.652

"Abomination," 12” x 16” oil and acrylic on panel, for Children of Dune by Frank Herbert from @foliosociety. • “A face formed itself upon her awareness. It was a smiling face of such fatness that it could have been a baby’s except for the glittering eagerness of the eyes. She tried to pull back, but achieved only a longer view which included the body attached to that face.”

One thing I love about science fiction is its ability to reflect our own reality and give us a different perspective on it. I can’t say I’ve experienced the full-on cacophony of genetic memory as Alia does. But metaphorical voices fighting for dominance of my psyche? I think we all know that feeling to some degree. A thought from Ghanima about Alia’s condition: “Alia denied what she was and became that which she most feared. The past-within cannot be relegated to the unconscious.”
