I forgot what I due if I have an image for the cover art

Joe,

If you would like to make the cover yourself, you can pre-claim it by posting here: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785&start=10320

The claim should be submitted before I start cataloging - once I finish the catalog process, covers are opened up to anyone to claim and then they can use whatever artwork they would like.

If you haven't done it before, the thread linked above provides guidance in the first couple of posts on how to make the cover, and what formats the files need to be submitted in.

Well, I was going to use a cover art from the book, itself.
I found one here, from a 1901 edition of the book, which I believe should fit in with the Domain:
https://www.vialibri.net/years/items/1307492/1901-verne-jules-the-castle-of-the-carpathians

As for the summary, I was thinking:

The Castle stood above the quiet little town for as long as folks remembered: barren, deserted, lonely and frightening to the townsfolk. Until one day, smoke began to ascend from the dunjon. They were warned not to go near, and when intrepid souls dared to venture to uncover the mystery of the ruined castle, they learned firsthand what supernatural terrors await inside The castle of the Carpathians.

Summary by Joseph DeNoia

Sound good?

Sounds scary!

I'll update the catalog record with that.

Wait, is the correct spelling dungeon? My computer is giving me a spelling error for dunjon.

Yes, Dungeon is the correct spelling.

But with the "ye olde english" the book was written, that's what they kept using.

I also meant for the word Castle to be capitalized in that last few words: so Castle of the Carpathians

Thanks. Dunjon it is, and Castle is capitalized.
