High art

I can't believe I'm so stoked about a video game novelization (particularly for a game I've never played), but this one—written by internationally successful author Miyuki Miyabe—just looks so cool. (The cover art is the same as the Japanese and European versions of ICO; American gamers, sadly, got stuck with this.) The book was originally written in 2004, but VIZ is releasing it here in the States on August 11th.
