Even nightmares dress formally for bedroom visits.
A stipple-shaded illustration in sepia tones depicts a humanoid figure wearing a suit jacket, with the head of a fish, standing over a person sleeping in a bed. The composition is framed like a vintage book plate, with bold serif text at the top reading 'IT WAS THE KIND OF NIGHT THAT THE CLOUDS WE MADE OF MEAT.' The palette is limited to cream and olive-grey, rendered in a dense pointillist grain.

That flat, dead fish-eye looming over the sleeper is properly unsettling -- and 'the clouds we made of meat' is a hell of a caption. The engraving texture makes it feel like a plate torn out of some cursed bedtime story. Easily my favorite of the batch.
