Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach, a Good Omens fanfic by @mouseonamoose
After surviving the events of the apocalypse, Anthony J. Crowley goes to therapy. This fic is a well-researched and rich depiction of trauma therapy from the perspective of the mental health provider.
Bound in premium cotton from Worldcloth decorated with silver hot stamp foil and a hand painted foreedge. Frontispiece artwork generously provided by @rjrjrjrjrjrjrjrj. To enhance the reading experience, the typeset of this book was further annotated with additional commentary on the psychotherapeutic process (see footnote example.)
This book was bound and gifted to a fellow clinician in a different medical field as part of the @renegadeguild Mini Exchange, 2024.
After the fall, Will drags Hannibal out of the Atlantic and they find their way north to a remote part of Labrador, where they try to make a life together.
I had so much fun with this bind! this fic is one of my favourite hannibal fics, and I had to do justice to it. the prose is beautiful, I enjoy the plot, and I've just thought about it a lot since I first read it. @emungere if you would like a copy, I would love to make you one <3
I did this as an exchange with @celestial-sphere-press because I really wanted to trade books with her, EVEN THOUGH SHE DECEIVED ME AND GOT ME FOR THE RENEGADE EXCHANGE. SO now I guess I'll have two books by her and it'll be great! I wanted to do classical typesetting, to emulate a book I would imagine that Hannibal would have on his shelves, and I thought the cover would also be a great way to do that! I had fun using stencils on my foreedge painting, but I need to make sure that next time I sand the edges really well before I do it, haha. I had to live up to the beautiful copy of Royal Flush that she gifted me.
I'm sure many people who are into Hannibal have read this fic but if you haven't - please do!
Here are a few more samples of the thousands of #ForeEdge painted books by Martin Frost.
#Fore-edgePainting is best seen by looking at the cut edges of the spine block.
A vanishing #Fore-edgePainting is where the leaves of a book are fanned and an image applied to the stepped surface.
If the page edges are gilded or marbled, the painting miraculously disappears when the book is relaxed. When the book is fanned again it magically re-appears
In addition the leaves can be fanned backwards or twisted, allowing yet more paintings to be applied.
In the case of thicker books they can be split and divided, offering the chance of adding still more decoration.
Another fore-edge painting, this time the great Pet Sematary by Stephen King ❤️ Which one King book is your fave one? #foreedge #foreedgepainting #petsematary #stephenking #stephenkingbooks #art #watercolor #zlobotvor_art #dark #semetary https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXGNQdNbwf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
At first glance, this battered copy of The Talisman, from an 1853 printing of the Waverley Novels series, looks quite plain. It does have nice marbled end papers, and gilt edges, but nothing else. If, however, you open the book and fan the pages just so, you'll make a wonderful discovery. There is an elegant little painting, concealed on the edge of the pages. This technique, known as fore-edge painting, was popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Curious readers may learn more about the practice from the Boston Public Library.
This is a stunner: a fore-edge painting, “View of Winnipeg from St Boniface”. A privilege to behold, the image appears only when the pages of the book are fanned just-so. A hidden treasure! Here on my desk, looking for a good home. 🤩 #foreedgepainting #foreedge #antiquarianbooks #oldbooks #rarebooks #winnipeg #fineart #paintings #beautifulbooks #finebindings #leatherbound (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3u-vEaAt7W/?igshid=px8lqr8h374q
