POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Are you ready to see the cover for my next book,
The Secrets of the Seance Society: Illustrated True Stories of Talking to the Dead??
Just wait, the picture doesn’t do the metallic foils justice (silver and blue). Due to be released in September of 2026! Stay tuned! Official blurb:
A gorgeous and delightfully spooky compendium of famous (and infamous) spiritual mediums who communicate with the dead. Plus, it includes an entertaining and instructive medium’s manual and usable Ouija board!

From the author-illustrator of the bestselling The League of Lady Poisoners, this lavishly illustrated treasury considers these haunting questions: What are spirits? Where can we find them? And how can we contact them? In answer, Lisa Perrin recounts, with respectful sincerity and a healthy dose of humor―complemented by clever Victorian-inspired portraits, icons, and lettering―the advent of Spiritualism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The book spotlights the era’s larger-than-life characters who, unlike many Spiritualist mediums who shared their gifts privately with clients, found their way onto stages and into newspaper headlines, and ultimately explores the deeper question of why the living world is endlessly trying to connect with the dead.

I have been working on projects that I can't share just yet, but lately I have found myself reflecting on how many book covers I have done (I believe its more than 20!) I was a double major in English and Painting in college who got into illustration later, so this really does feel like a marriage of all of the things I love. I think its a passion for narrative storytelling that combines so many of my interests (I am also a huge theater kid). My first job in high school was re shelving books in the library. It was also a job I did after college. After grad school I got a job in a small, independent book shop. I wish I could tell that younger version of myself how many books I would get to work on! I don't think I'd believe it! EDIT// this did not happen overnight! I didn’t get my first book cover job until I was 25.

Today is the day! The Hanukkah stamp I illustrated for @uspostalservice was released and a first-day-of-issue event took place in New Orleans, LA to commemorate it! I lamented that I couldn’t make it in person, but photos from the ceremony look just grand! (Swipe to see!) What a cool thing to be a part of! Wait till I show my dad! #hanukkah #hanukkahstamp by @madebyperrin

If you are a fan of Mary Shelley’s glorious gothic science fiction novel Frankenstein and fancy a game of cards then you will enjoy this playing card deck I illustrated for @ClarksonPotter Tin Moon LLC! I did a lot of research into the original novel rather than more recent film adaptations for the characters and can’t wait to see the deck in person! Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Cards: A Monster Deck of Card Games is available now on Amazon, @penguinrandomhouse , and other booksellers. #frankenstein #playingcards #cardgame #maryshelley by @madebyperrin

My father, now in his 80s, has loved and collected stamps since he was a child, so I am very delighted to share my illustration for a new Hanukkah stamp to be released by the United States Postal Service this September! You can read more about the stamp at stampsforever.com.
