Artwork for Mercurio D. Rivera’s “The Fifth Zhi”
Some of you may remember when Mercurio D. Rivera read an early draft of “The Fifth Zhi” (then called “The Fifth Daniel”) on Jim Freund’s “Hour of the Wolf” radio show. Mercurio has since sold that story to Interzone, and the talented Paul Drummond has created this beautiful artwork for the story.

Paul Drummond also illustrated the awesome aliens in “The Scent of Their Arrival” (IZ #214). He’s a gifted artist. I feel fortunate to have him bring my words to life.
