Things Ryan wishes she knew before accepting her job: - boss is a frat-star-turned-business-bro - there’s something weird on Floor 12 - her coworkers might be zombies - what was the last thing? A sapphic #SF #H about Ryan, who takes a job training AI—and starts losing her memories. #DVpit

WOLF WORM x DON'T LET THE FOREST IN THE TREES HAVE TEETH - An Appalachian Folkhorror "Olive is eight the first time Death comes for her." 🌲 Nature and rot 💀 Death as an entity 🍄 Botanical Horror ⛰️ Set in the mountains 🐇 Eerie folklore 🍂 Isolated setting #QuestPit #A #H #W

PITCH

Olive is eight the first time Death comes for her. She’s nineteen the second time. And Olive knows Death always comes in threes.

In the heart of the Appalachian mountains, something wicked lingers in the woods. Olive grew up running barefoot through the trees without fear of what might be lurking. But when the woods begin to devour anything that encroaches with ruthless hunger, and a mysterious man who claims to know both the cause and the cure appears at Olive’s door, she may have to face Death for the third (and final) time. If she doesn’t, the town and the boy she loves will be eaten whole.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

This setting slide features an artist drawn map of Caledin. Think sky islands à la Zelda: TotK.

Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, but she did not die. In the professional editing phase, but I know in my gut this is a GEM, so feel free to agent me up before that ;) tags #HFic #questpit #horror #w #DR #H

An agent’s guide to Anterograde, a 69k-word adult sci-fi horror novel by A.A. Hampton

An image of skyscrapers extending into the sky, with descriptive text explaining the pitch.

The pitch: When Ryan Williams accepts a job training AI for an eerie corporation called The Company, she’s determined not to mess up this time. So what if her coworkers are disappearing? Anything is better than ending up back on the job market.

But when she starts fighting with her partner about things she has no memory of, she suspects something is very wrong with her—and that her new employer is responsible.

With her personal life crumbling around her and the threat of layoffs looming, Ryan must decide how much she’s willing to risk in her search for answers—and whether the promise of stability is worth sacrificing her identity.

Images of comp titles over a close-up shot of blue server wires.

Anterograde combines the dark technological satire of Black Mirror with the corporate dread and horror of Abyss by Nicholas Binge and the memory-based mystery of There Is No Antimemetics Division by Qntm.

An aesthetic Pinterest moodboard representing the vibes of Anterograde. Images include a cubicle farm, dark skyscrapers, dozens of zombie-like people wearing virtual reality glasses, a chair in a dark empty room under a spotlight, and a silhouette of two women kissing.
