The city’s lousy with heroes—cape-wearing, laser-eyed, sky-flying showboats. Don’s not one of them. He’s a PI with supernaturally sketchy luck, a nose for trouble, and a trenchcoat that smells like bad decisions. Now powers are vanishing, and he might be next.

In a city swarming with heroes, Don is a PI who must use his questionable superhuman "luck" to investigate the widespread decline of superpowers, or turn in his trenchcoat and let society become as ordinary as he fears he is.

When superpowers start flickering out, the city turns to Don, a PI with one crooked gift: chaotic luck. He’s no hero, but if he can’t crack the case, the age of wonders dies—and he might finally prove just how ordinary he’s always been. #A, #miserypit, #SFFM, #Q

She thought she buried the worst of it with her best friend.
But love like that doesn’t stay dead.

Everything I Gave Her is a moody, upmarket psychological thriller/suspense about identity, obsession, and the quiet rot beneath devotion.

Tylor & Naveena are keeping secrets: he can talk to the dead, & she is Death herself. No mortal can do what they do.

The day they meet, they discover they've been looking for each other. Can they work together to save a missing girl, & themselves, before it's too late?

#MiseryPit #A #RM #FT #WIP
There is a grid of nine square photos with a dark blue background around them.  All the photos are darkened and desaturated.  In the top left photo Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is squatting close to the ground beside a tree trunk with his hands clasped one over the other.  The top middle photo is a series of silhouettes of gravestones, the faint outline of a mountain in the background.  The top right is a paved bridge that extends into fog, with metal railings on either side and branches along the top edge of the image.  The centre left photo is a blurred, dark image of lines on a road and a streak of a headlamp above.  The centre middle is a starry night sky surrounded by black silhouettes of tree tops.  Centre right is a lighter photo of a roadway and field beyond, with a white Mini driving on it.  The bottom left photo is of several leafless young trees beside a lake.  The bottom middle photo is a low-angle shot of a cobblestone wall and memorial obelisk atop it.  In the bottom right image, Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, moves along a hedge in a black leather jacket with a wary expression on her face.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly-written campaign.
#MiseryPit #A #CM #FM #Q

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. 

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

A psychological suspense about obsession, illness, and the kind of love that undoes you.
