Banner image for the serialized novel Sable: a glitchy, pixelated background that appears as dripping lava, charred flesh, or extreme DVD artefacting of a still of a shallow, clear, pebble-bottomed river. The title is presented as negative, centered on the background, large block letters at a slant. The bottom 5% of the text appears to be uniformly cut off by a slight crop.
