First published in 1905, Lord Dunsany’s THE GODS OF PEGANA is one of the most important and influential works of modern fantasy literature. The groundbreaking, imaginative novel introduced readers to a pantheon of unforgettable gods and a rich new mythology that would inspire H.P. Lovecraft, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, and generations of fantasy, horror, and science fiction creators.

Wig Shop is pleased to present a new edition of Dunsany’s classic tome in collaboration with Colorado-based artist Dustin Holland.

Drawing inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts, fine art, cartooning, and animation, Holland vividly illustrates every page of this classic tome with a contemporary outsider-art flair. Each chapter begins with a full-page painting, and every page features painted borders that blend the lines between cartooning, illustration, and decorative art.

Together, Holland’s illustrations and Dunsany’s prose create a kaleidoscopic cosmic vision that is sure to thrill Weird Fiction aficionados and dazzle newcomers with its hallucinatory energy.
