I'm a little late for #MiseryPit, but if you like:

🇰🇷 Korean folklore & mythology
🩸Generational grief
🌀The gradual descent into grief, madness, & monstrous transformation
👻 Dark, intimate prose with psychological & body horror
❤️ Slow-burn romance

Then here's my adult horror romance, Gumiho
#H #A #R

A woman cursed with a vengeful gumiho must claim a thousand souls to become a god—and now she needs just one. But when she falls for her final target, wicked whispers invade her mind, visions of loved ones haunt her, and her body begins to change. As the gumiho consumes her from the inside out, she must face her demons and sever the curse—or reach godhood as something monstrous.

Avery Baines 💀 people, but you'll love her anyway.

💥 eat-the-rich vibes
💥 all the feminism
💥 evil hot guys that flirt
💥 disability/queer rep

If you could tear down the evil secret society giving you more wealth than you can imagine, would you?

This adult murder-fest thriller has disability & LGBTQ rep, and is full of eat-the-rich vibes, family secrets, forbidden romance, feminine rage and (a little) spice.
Plus the morally-grey villains are ✨hot✨

Agents, ❤️ if you want to see more...

A meta-dump for my YA/adult crossover sci-fi duology. Was #amquerying, but it's shelved now, unless some miracle occurs.

TJ Klune x horror

Dynasty x Killing Eve

Avery grew up believing that passing initiation into the secret society, The League, on her 18th birthday will give her unlimited wealth & power to improve Melbourne.
It will, but she discovers she'll be forced to assassinate innocent men.

Black and red dark toned collage of young women and the theme of feminine rage. Quote from the book reads "You raised your princess well, Father. Now watch me rule."
