I’m thrilled to see Beth Steidle, visionary designer of the Hellions cover, get more praise in Book Riot‘s “These 2025 Short Story Collections Have Some Brilliant Covers.” Kelly Jensen says, “In a roundup I did last year, I mentioned having found a cover designer whose work I could not get enough of. Well, she’s back. Steidle’s appearance on this particular list won’t be limited to this fun and unique pink cover with an alligator. . .. For a surreal collection of short stories that rework fairy tales and infuse horror within them, there could be no better cover.”
