BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

#QuestPit #A #S #SF #W

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

Background: A red forest
Title Card
Text: An Agent's Guide To: The Daughter and the Nameless Son by Kelton Davis | Adult Fantasy | 100k Words | Querying Now!

Background: A red forest
Foreground: Six images surrounding a quote (from clockwise): A sunset, a hammer striking hot metal, a red-red arrow fletching, a red-haired archer, a grizzled old man, a red forest.
Text: As she walked away, freshly divested of every life she'd ever known—Crown Daughter, ranger, loyal servant to the demesne—she realized that, where she expected to find fear and despair, she found only a rapidly strengthening resolve.
She'd already lost everything.
All she could do was win it back.

Background: A red forest
Title: Comps
Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps.
Text:
From GODKILLER: Cross-Country Quest to Forbidden Land, Surrogate Parenthood (shared with THE JUSTICE OF KINGS)
From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others)

Background: A red forest
Title: Pitch
Text: Niozene has never been good enough.

As daughter and crown heir to the Mother, a living goddess and ruler of her country, perfection is the only standard she’s ever known. Yet, despite her flawless scholar’s education and a polished career as a ranger, Niozene has failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest flaw—she lacks the holy power to control the minds of others that ordains her family as living gods with divine right to rule.

When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she is stripped of her titles and given an ultimatum: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as a final chance to prove herself and show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter.

Allowed only the help of Sonsan, a surly tracker and criminal also facing excommunication, Niozene dreads that she may have lost her chance at redemption before she has even left home. But when Sonsan reveals that he shares the same strange shape-changing power as the assassin, Niozene realizes his assignment to accompany her is more than coincidence. As they track the assassin deep into a forbidden land, confronting demons, ancient magic, and the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, they must uncover the truth behind their quest—and the buried history neither knew they shared—if they wish to live to see their promised redemption.

A “screenshot” streaming the song “my tears ricochet (Amir’s version)” by Taylor Swift. The album art is a moodboard for Captain Amir, showing a crying eye, a sultry pirate captain, a bottle of mysterious elixir, leather boots kicked up on a treasure chest, wooden barrels and dusty glass bottles of rum, a treasure chest, a face wiping blood from their lower lip, and a pirate ship with a joyful crew sailing into the sunset. A pirate flag is subtly superimposed over the image.

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha.

Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies.
Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels.
Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer.

A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.

It’s always the boyfriend, right? Mowich Bay can take one vanishing teen, but not two. Lennie Torres’s senior year captaining the XC team turns deadly when her ex-bff goes missing and she ends up a suspect. Her only way out? Team up with nemesis golden boy Lysander Hayes, the boyfriend of the missing girl—and the last person to see her alive. But Lysander’s not the only one keeping secrets, and if both Lennie and Lysander want to make it through XC season? They’re going to have to figure out how to trust each other or somebody’s going to end up dead.

Snippet
Hayes takes my hand, wrapping his fingers firmly around mine. “Deal.” His eyes glint an odd silver in the chrome and linoleum hallway and I think of people making deals with devils at cross roads. I wonder if they get the same storm of nerves I have swirling in my blood right now.
I don’t trust Hayes.
But I need him.
“Deal.”
