🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country.

So, Killer Nashville 🎸 just ended. I have to say it has been one of the best writers conferences that I’ve ever attended! 10 out of 10! I highly recommend! I am leaving inspired and enthusiastic to get back to work, and fan-girling over these two industry queens: J. A. Jance & Sara Paretsky. 🫶🏻

THE OFFICE X GOOD OMENS

A satire of both business and the supernatural, Virgil Mora, Hell's Consultant, must restore Heaven's faith in Hell by saving a vampire-run Ohio gas station in just three months to save his job and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for.

#A #F #PosterPitW #PosterPit #LGBT

At the top is the text “Virgil Mora burns in Hell. It’s a pretty good job.”

On a background of red and orange flame, a black and white silhouette with of a man with a suit and tie sitting at a shiny marble table that covers the entire lower half of the poster. A white silhouette of an angel with wings spread is standing behind them.

In front of them is the title, glowing yellow, “Hell Is Work.”

In the reflection on the table is the title reversed, the angel is in yellow not white and has a dripping halo. The businessman is reflected in red and has horns.

At the bottom is the words “A novel by Zed Prospero”

Why not spend your summer at BLUDEYE BEACH?

👻Monster Menagerie
🫂Found Family
💕Slow Burn Romance

A movie-style poster. The background is a tall light on a sandy beach at dusk. In a circle on the upper left is a head of a young man, and on the right is a circle with the head of a curly-haired young girl. There are several lines of text. The first line reads “There’s a dark undercurrent in this seaside town.” The second line reads “Bludeye Beach. No one walks home alone at night.” The final block of text at the bottom reads “Available now in query trenches near you. Debut novel from local cryptid enthusiast Eliwood S. Gheist. Prolonged reading may lead to slow burn romances, found families, and an urge to check under your bed. Recommended for fans of Nettle & Bone and Camp Damascus.”
