ALTERED CARBON X SCYTHE When you're rich Insurance ensures you immortality. When you're poor you ensure someone else’s. That didn’t happen to Jake. He should've died, his body claimed by an Insured. Instead he inherits the life and identity of the murdered Father of Immortality. #DVpit #A #Q #SF #JV

Just a reminder, we ask #DVpit participants NOT to use agent guides. Everyone using 300 characters offers a taste of your book & ensures an equal chance for all. Additionally if some include pitch decks/agent guides as an image, it bogs down the feed. More guidelines here: dvpit.carrd.co#faq

SERIAL DATING | Adult Horror Rom-Com Inverted Tropes: 🛏️Too Many Beds (it's a bunk bed situation) ❤️Co-workers to Friends to Lovers (No enemies here) ☠️Neither FMC or MMC are Serial K!llers (but everyone else is) ☀️Perfect, Sunny Weather (no dark & stormy nights) #Bluepit #W #A #H #R #DIS #📖

Background: Trees. Text: Agent Guide, Adult Horror Rom-Com, Projected 70K, Current 20K, Serial Dating, By Ally Boyd

Background: boulder half in the water, half on the sand. Text: The Pitch, While vacationing at a remote lakeside cabin, the daughter from a dynasty of eccentric k!llers struggles to shield her new boyfriend from her family’s gruesome legacy, but the sunny lakeside retreat turns deadly when a k!ller from her past turns the camp grounds into hunting grounds.

Background: Trees reflecting on lake. Text: The Comps, Lights Out by Navessa Allen, Ready or Not (2019 Film), Dating & Dismemberment by A L Brody, Book of Knives by Lise Hanes.

Background: Trees. Text: The Opening, I’m pretty sure the guy I matched with is a serial k!ller.

I knew it the moment he picked me up. His hair is combed too straight, his blue button down shirt is overly starched, his khakis pressed with military precision, and his nails neatly trimmed to the quick.

I can almost hear my best friend, Kayla’s voice in my head, ‘It’s find Maddie. He’s a nice guy. Why are you always trying to find the faults?’

It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose, it’s just that I have a type. And I really, really want to get away from my normal type and find a nice guy.

“You look beautiful,” he says as he presents me with a bouquet of flowers.

White lillies. The flower of death.
