I’m happy to announce Thursday Thistle’s new look. Not only did my book get new cover art by the amazing artist Gianluca Mattia, but also got a redesign by yours truly. It’s a colorful and expressive display of pop surrealism (a.k.a lowbrow art).
In the new updated edition (3-11-2012) the errors within the text have been corrected.
Take a look:
On September 1, 2011 Thursday Thistle reached a best seller ranking of 1,851 and went #1 in the Fairy Tales category, #8 in the Dark Fantasy category, and #18 in the Mythology category.

Reviews:
“A steampunk tortoise, a Zen archer monkey, and the Schumacher Hound, [Thursday Thistle] has it all.”– James Cameron, reader
“Equal parts sweet and demented, Thursday Thistle is a charming and extremely weird fable for the Disney generation.”– David W. Barbee, author of Carnageland
“Alice in Bizarroland meets The Man Who Was Thursday“– Eric Hendrixson, author of Bucket of Face
“August V. Fahren’s Thursday Thistle is a hyper-imaginative take on just about every fairy tale trope ever devised, and then some; a Bizarro candy buffet of the most outlandish images and delightfully freakish characters.”– Jeffrey Thomas, author of Punktown
“With a level of symbolism rivaling Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain, evocative imagery on par with Tarsem Singh’s The Cell, and the unbridled imagination of Lewis Carroll Thursday Thistle is destined to become a cult classic.”– Eric Koppert, The Koppert Review
Description:
Lethe: le the noun ‘le-the
1: A dark, forgotten land from which all of our fairy tales originated.
2: A Post-apocalyptic realm of twisted, magic wielding royalty locked in battle with a race of technologically superior Guardians (who seek to snuff out magic forever).
3: The world Thursday Thistle has journeyed to in order to locate Princess Monday, one of seven paranormal princesses each named after a day of the week.
In a world where speaking with “wise men” is more like dealing with tech support and romance can be deadly Thursday will have to contend with: the wicked cannibal queen, a zombie grizzly bear, wee werewolves, robot laser-shooting mermaids, a steampunk tortoise, and a Zen archer monkey.
Additionally, she will meet the Schumacher Hound and find a haunted Halloween cuckoo clock temple and that’s just the beginning in this tale of whimsical wandering in the dreamlike tradition of Alice in Wonderland.
