Adult Teeth (Short Stories)

Tortoise Books and the author reached out to me to design the cover for this debut collection of short stories. As is the case with most short story collections, the themes within the book are varied, but growing older and all that comes with it is one connecting thread. The cover tries to allude to that in a subtle way.

From the cover:

A suburban lawyer obsessively searches for her out-of-work husband’s sex doll; a grieving man buys a parrot for the stranger who saved his life; a retired Florida lineman discovers a power more vital than electricity. In this debut collection, award-winning short story writer Jeremy T. Wilson skillfully presents a cast of compelling characters who grapple with life’s big concerns: marriage, friendship, parenthood, death.

With heartbreak and humor, these twelve stories explore the brutal truth that for all these characters, as for all of us, time is lying in wait, ready to punch us in the mouth.
