I'm very impressed by the cover art of the April/May/June issue, "The Door Wardens" by Lisa Eshkenazi. It reminds me of Tolkien and Rackham, with the emphasis on the lines of the tree and the mixture of human and tree elements in the wardens. The round door reminds me of a Hobbithole, which, for me anyway, gives it quite the "fairy-tale" feel. I also like the contrast of light and dark, and the echoing of the circular shape of the door in the circle of light around the candles.

It's the sort of fantasy/fairy tale piece that I wish you saw more of nowadays.
