The ghost of dhooverart @dhoover.art · 6d

Anya wants to be normal, but balancing school and necromancy means spending most of her time alone with the dead, instead of friends. When her best friend goes missing, Anya’s ability to talk to the dead may be the key to finding her. Can Anya find her before it's too late? #MG #DVpit #Mys #ND #GN

A bored middle school girl sits on her bed while Death pontificates about something behind her. She's not listening, she's dreaming of being anywhere else. She has on a dark red tee and jeans. Her bed spread is dark purple with gray gridded stripes, and her walls are covered in goth-y posters. Death's scythe rests against the wall and he's in a hoodie. They're comfortable. You can't expect them to spend eternity in musty old robes.

Anne-Diane was meant to face middle school with Isaiah. But he’s put into gifted while she’s in special ed. Now he barely sees her. Her plan? Start a club to win back her best friend and make new ones too! Zero members, one girl, endless courage. Meet the Intimidators! #DVPit #DVArt #MG #GN #ND #DIS
