Description
Fantastic cover painting by British artist Melvyn Grant for Whitley Strieber’s 1983 novel “The Night Church”, published by Simon and Schuster. It was also used as the album art for dark metal band Lobotomy’s 1994 album “The Last Vision”. Grant is well-known for painting many book covers and for his work creating art for bands such as Iron Maiden, including their iconic 1992 album “Fear of the Dark.” His work is rarely seen on the market, so I was pleased to pick this one up. Thanks to Kevin for letting it go!

Very kick ass!  This goes deep and dark to be the baddest cover wherever it's used!

Well ... that's a tall cup of creepy; and definitely makes for an eye catching cover. Thank you for sharing. I am unfamilar with the artist but will look for more of his art if this is an example of what he can do.

Ingrid, creepy is an understatement! I'm honestly not sure where it will be hung...not sure I want it bedside. Lol. Definitely check out his work.
