#GhostPit, #A, #Q, #T
YOU x Dexter
Quiet teacher, Ella, is not a psychopath – she’s just very committed to her anti-bullying policies. The kind that involve zip ties, knives and plastic sheeting.
And if you stay cruel and remorseless as an adult, she’ll teach you one final, bloody lesson. 👻🔪

Groups of kids whispering. A teacher by a blackboard. a load of shiny knives in a row.

This is a tongue in cheek dark comedy thriller that will keep you smiling and cringing in equal measures until it reaches its climax.

Lola is a serial killer on a murder spree who takes advantage of Ernie, a hapless loser with questionable morals.

Like THE BENT NECK LADY:

The Drowning Girl haunted Simone's dreams long before Nina was murdered

She feared her cousin's spirit was stuck in a trauma loop, reliving her violent death—but one should never summon the dead

Now they call her vengeful ghost #TheEastRiverWraith

On an ordinary evening, an ordinary commuter steps onto a train. As the stops fly by, he notices more and more people in costume.
Wait, are they really costumes?

😬 What extraordinary world is this train taking him to... and when can he get off? 💀

A single dad -- who has a Kpop obsession -- is determined for his daughter to have the best costume, and show the other dads who's boss. Even if he has to make the costume himself.

It may or may not involve stealing a mummy. And falling in love with the head of the PTA.

#AgentsGuide to SAINTFIRE, an adult dark fantasy inspired by Berserk, Poppy War, Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

Blood-stained action. Plus-sized, morally-gray witch x sweetheart, scarred transmasc knight turned assassin. Enemies to doomed lovers. Lots more!

#GhostPit #A #C #F

A sword-saint's guide to SAINTFIRE: an adult dark fantasy complete at 125,000 words. "They were forged by cruelty... Now they'll set the world alight."

PITCH: "Vengeance is the only prayer they have left."
When a tormented former concubine trained in dark magic and a scarred trans swordsman are forced to fight side by side in a gladiatorial arena, their shared hunger for revenge ignites something far greater than themselves: a fire that could burn angels, kings, and their own humanity alike.

COMPS:
The Starving Saints by Cailtin Starling: Twisted queer love, horrific sacrifices, monstrous villains, and esoteric fantasy.
The Poppy War by RF Kuang: Dark bildungsroman, grim setting, and philosophical interrogations of magic
The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw: Trans and queer protagonists, found family, tragic ends, and blood-soaked imagery

SNEAK PEAK:
"Very well. How does one free the soul?"
This question, Thahira had thought, was the simplest. Death, of course. Death frees the soul.
For a time.
Every faith around the world agreed that there was life beyond death. The shaman and scholars of Mircalla believed in the churning moon-wheel of reincarnation. The heretics of the west believed in a conquered heaven, ruled by a long dead man—absurd.
Both systems, every system, simply rearranged the deceased from one system of control to another. Even death was not freeing, she realized. It was merely the shuffling of feet.
So. How does one free the soul?
“By shoveling so much divinity inside oneself that you cannot help but rise, like a balloon filled with fire,” she said. “By capturing so many gods within your stomach that your soul is made divine itself.” So that the maggot can become the fly.
Madra’s eyes shone brighter, as if the oblong moon burned from inside each of her twin pupils. Moonlight, silver and blue, reflected off of her teeth from the water beside.
“Well, then, my girl. How do you capture a hidden god?”
Thahira barked out a single laugh.
“Isn’t it obvious?” she asked. “You eat it.”

DRAGON'S FLAME (a #GhostPit guide)

what happens when the person who killed your parents turns out to be your long-lost best friend?

- childhood friends to enemies to lovers
- stolen memories/brainwashing
- dragon (yes, singular)
- "i think i know you." / "you used to."

#W #F #RF #YA #LGBT

left hand side: text reading With the help of her new dragon companion, eighteen-year-old Shafira hunts down the legendary assassin who murdered her parents in front of her. But things become complicated when she discovers the assassin in question is the best friend she was forcibly separated from five years previous...and that she may not be working of her own free will.

right hand side: a picture of a grassy hill in front of a fog covered mountain overlaid with texting reading Elevator Pitch

left hand side: covers for Fireborne by Rosaria Munda, the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole over text of a bullet pointed list. the list reads: childhood friends to enemies to lovers, found family, stolen memories/elements of brainwashing, war is hell and everyone loses, i think-i think i know you, you used to, grumpy old man in the form of a dragon, nobody is processing their trauma and everyone needs therapy

right hand side: an image of a night sky with stars and clouds overlaid with text that reads Tropes and Comps

left hand side: text reading excerpt above text reading:

A chill that has nothing to do with the cold wind coming off of the Hungry Deep washes over me, settling into the marrow of my bones, as I realize what I am seeing:

Mairi is the Flameheart, the assassin that was more human than myth.

Which mean that Mairi killed my parents.

right hand side: an image of what is presumably a female body clad in black fantasy-esque armor that covers everything, including the face. the figure is holding a sword in each hand and has a third strapped to their back

Bree assumes "joining the Dark Goddess" is a lesbian sex club hazing prank—until she kills an evil political candidate with a gush of menstrual blood.

The Goddess has given Bree real power.

Her intentions? Murky.
Her appetite? Insatiable.
Her contract? Binding.
