This prog from Rebellion's long-running British anthology puts a gloriously unsettling figure front and center: a monstrous, dreadlocked creature wearing a wide-brimmed pilgrim hat and clutching an ornate golden vessel, its jagged teeth bared and a single glowing eye spiraling red above the brim. The cover tagline — "Crawl of the Wild!" and "Carver is the Pilgrim Father of Fear" — signals that something delightfully disturbing is waiting inside. It's the kind of cover that stops you cold on the shelf, equal parts grotesque and beautifully crafted.
