I recently had the opportunity to illustrate the cover of Spiders of Allah, by journalist James Hider. The book is a first hand account of his experiences as a journalist in the Middle East. What a great book – satiric, sad, ironic, and all too honest. I learned many things by reading this book, not only about the Middle East but about the United States as well. I recommend it highly. The US edition will be released by St. Martin’s Press on June 23. You can pre-order it from Amazon.com  HERE. Spiders of Allah is Mr. Hider’s first book – congratulations! You can read the book review in Time magazine HERE.
Wow, Ron, evocative cover, beautiful. This guy was interviewed on the local NPR outlet up here. Sounded like an above-average book on a tough subject.
great job Ron. really nice to see your work on a cover, it draws you right in! (no pun intended)
fantastic cover Ronnie! really impactful, it’s going to stand out on the bookstores
Hey guys, thanks for your comments. I’m looking forward to seeing the book on the shelves at the bookstore myself! It’s really a fantastic book, I hope you all get the chance to read it. – Ron
