Habeas Corpses by Clyde Caldwell (2005)

Painted in oil on board by Clyde Caldwell in 2005, 'Habeas Corpses' served as the cover artwork for Wm. Mark Simmons's urban fantasy / horror-comedy novel of the same name, published by Baen Books as part of The Halflife Chronicles. The artwork portrays Deirdre, a red-headed vampire bodyguard clad in gothic leather and sunglasses, armed with a shotgun and standing watch outside a gothic doorway framed by stone carved skulls. Caldwell seamlessly combines contemporary action-pinup aesthetics and modern firearms with classic horror and gothic architecture motifs.
