High Rises and Hard Falls

Edlund Design does it again.

When I was developing a media presence for my work featuring Adrian Tannhauser, I turned to Nick Edlund, one of my oldest and dearest friends for the visuals.

Edlund Design specializes in creative and effective design for print and digital media. Nick reads each of the Tannhauser stories, zeroes in on a salient point, and creates a visual for each story. I am never disappointed.

This graphic is from “High Rises and Hard Falls” which is featured in “Ground Fiction Vol. 3” (available here). Adrian’s quiet moment of browsing at the Brattle Book Shop in Boston doesn’t go quite as he anticipated.

“I was reading, flipping through a hardcover copy of Flint by Louis L’Amour, stopping at this passage: Never let them know how you feel or what you are thinking. If they know how you feel they know how to hurt you, and if they hurt you once, they will try again.

Good words, Mr. L’Amour. Sold. I tucked the book under my arm. A step behind me, a voice.

“Hey, excuse me, you got five bucks?

―Andrew C. Peterson, from “High Rises and Hard Falls”

Intrigued? I hope so. Want to know what happens next? If so, check out “Ground Fiction Vol. 3” for the rest of the story.

Also, if you need to add any visual communication to your website or for your company, check out Edlund Design and tell ’em Tannhauser sent you.

Finally, if you’re ever in Boston you owe it to yourself to spend an afternoon at both Brattle Book Shop and Commonwealth Books. There’s a good chance that I will see you there when you do.
