When Ehren embarks on an international journey to search for his estranged family, the last thing he expects is to go to Hell.
Yet it is along Ehren's descent to the Underworld where he may find the love/belonging he’s always yearned for.

The only cost? His brother’s life.

An illustration created by me (LunaCWriting) of a woman and a man sharing an apple. The woman touches his hair while he holds her waist. His skin shows magical ice patterns where their hands touch.

An illustration created by me (LunaCwriting) of a woman in a red tee and a man in a blue shirt standing back-to-back on a tree-lined street, with petals floating in the air. It includes a title that reads: This is real, Isabel Benes by LunaCWriting.

A moodboard with 9 images. Top row: a blood moon; a woman head bowed in thought, silhouette framed in fire glow; someone presents a simple black mask, there are bright orange lights behind.
Middle row is the same sunrise from the first image.
Bottom row: Amita Suman as Inej Ghafa in Shadow and Bone, bathed in a blue green light, looking over her shoulder for danger, hair awry; middle image is of a sinister dark green forest; final image is Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark, half his face cast in shadow.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

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 supernatural campaign.
#DVpit #A #H #M

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, 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 couple confesses they’d rather jump into hell than be together. But when they receive an invitation for couples therapy from the Gods, they have no alternative but accept as time has frozen until they prove they’re in fact NOT soulmates.
