Double Double Toil and Trouble

December 2023

Lillian Burke’s novel is light on its feet and slightly out of control, in the best way. Her protagonist, Sasha Westbrook is no stranger to the strange — but time travel is a new one, even for her. Every element, from cover design to typesetting and illustrations, was built to mirror the protagonists’ off-kilter world. Experimental typography with morphed sans-serif glyphs carries the novel’s disorienting tone, while linocut-inspired illustrations bring an abstract, textured depth to the story.
