A casual game of EFF MARRY KILL takes a dark turn, when high school senior Prudence and her friends find their picks eerily transformed, showing up with roses, pickup lines, or weapons. To survive, she must become the player she never wanted to be or they’ll all be taken off the board. #DVpit #YA #H

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. 🎲🥓 #WIPPIT #A #H #MM
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.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU × THE GOOD PLACE Wren Vern is a rising star at Happy Death Inc., selling blissful exits to the wealthy—until one client won’t die and another coworker wants to. A sharp, witty satire about capitalism, mortality, and the true cost of a life well lived. #WIPPIT #A #SPEC
a close-up photo of a man lying in what appears to be a casket. He’s dressed in a formal black suit with a white shirt and black tie, and he has a fixed, unsettling smile painted on his face—evoking both artificial joy and eerie stillness. The man’s face is pale, suggesting death, but the smile is jarringly wide, almost theatrical.

The title HAPPY DEATH INC. is split into three bold lines, placed over the man’s face and upper chest in a playful, handwritten-style font that contrasts sharply with the dark theme.

Above the title, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"

At the bottom of the cover, in smaller text:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

A “movie poster” for Kirk Rafferty’s manuscript, The Cosmonaut and the Fisherman, currently on submission. Red background with the outline of a woman’s face. A stylized target is focused on her right eye. American and Soviet flags are superimposed over both her eyes. The title is in bold, white letters. Three laurels at the top: “All the found family tropes,” “Bad-Ass girl with shotgun and other weaponry,” and “Of course there’s a tragic love story we’re not amateurs here.” An actual author blurb: “‘Richly imaginitive and dramatically gripping’,” - Dirk Cussler, author of The Corsican Shadow.” A satirical “Streaming soon on Nyetflix” logo, stylized to look like the Netflix logo. At the bottom, in both English and Russian, “The Mission is Everything.” kirk.rafferty.com.

When pen becomes weapon, a historian must decide whether she will unravel the truth in pursuit of humanity's freedom from the tyrannical sultanate, or bury them for their safety. THE HURRICANE WARS X THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER x Turkic Mythology #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #F #R #A
Movie poster for #posterpit featuring a woman in a golden dress hiding her face. Swirls of golden light spin around her. The background is a painting of the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque in Turkey. The top of the poster reads "Complete at 98,000 words," a quote from the novel that says, "The Sultanate doesn't care for their women- and that is one of the greatest strengths we have," and "in the query trenches." Further down, in the top centre we have the title of the story "Garden of Gods," followed by "A novel by AK." The bottom centre of the poster reads, "epic romantasy," "diverse cast," "slowburn romance," and "turkish forklore." Beneath that there is the comp titles including "The Hurricane Wars and The Bone Shard Daughter."

A mock-up movie poster for my YA fantasy novel, THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN.

The poster contains the following text:

An introduction to my Hawaiian-inspired, young adult fantasy. “Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around the corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.” #PosterPit #PosterPitW #YA #F #OwnVoices
A movie poster that displays the image of a sailboat beneath the reflection of the night sky. This is to showcase my novel “Whispers of the Sea.”

Across the top can be found a list of what to expect in the novel. The list includes: epic adventure, forced proximity, earth magic, and Hawaiian influences. 

At the bottom of the poster is a summary that reads:
“Jasad Heir meets the Starless Sea in this young adult fantasy following a teen girl who embarks on a journey to uncover the whereabouts of her missing uncle. Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around every corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.”

Her family is broke, the gardener is dead, the manor might be alive, and Lottie Bradbury has a blood curse to break before she becomes its next victim. Do you dare see the slow-burn gothic horror of The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor? #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #Q #A #H #HF
The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor poster. It features a young girl burying a body in a cemetery while a young man looks on in abject horror while a manor looms over them in the background. 

It reads: 
Slow-burn gothic horror festival
Blood curse and gaslighting father fest
Cryptic diary and trauma bonding fest
Traking place in 1919 fest

The gardener is dead
The House is alive
Her family is cursed
Lottie Bradbury is
The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor

Now querying

There are two quotes
"Something about is resonated" - RevPit Editor
"I am wildly passionate" - Literary AgentThe Last Heir of Bradbury Manor movie poster featuring a young woman in a blue dress looking terrified as she falls down a well (or was she pushed?). 

It has the tagline "You don't inherit a curse. You earn it"

Lottie Bradbury is "The Reluctant Heiress"
Gregory Winthrop is "The Wealthy Suitor"
Baron Thomas Bradbury is "The Lying Father"
and introducing Arthur as "The Forbidden Love"

It's 1919, the gardener is dead, the house is alive, and Lottie Bradbury must break a blood curse before it claims her mind, her future, and her soul.

This is a movie or show poster for "Dad Bodies," a comedy horror murder mystery. The poster features several men with exaggerated expressions of shock, fear, and surprise arranged around the title. 

The title "DAD BODIES" is prominently displayed in the center, with "DAD" in white text and "BODIES" in red. Above the title, text reads "STARRING DAVE VINCENT SAM HANK MARV & TROY IN" and below the title is the tagline "HOW MANY DADS DOES IT TAKE TO SOLVE A MURDER?"

The background has a reddish color scheme with what appears to be stylized monster teeth or jaws framing the image, giving it a horror aesthetic. At the bottom of the poster, it states "A CO(S)MIC HORROR MURDER MYSTERY BY B. VAN BOEGOM."

The poster combines horror and comedy elements with the expressions of the men suggesting both fear and humor, a comedic take on the horror genre centered around a group of fathers.

A fake movie poster in a black and red color palette featuring a low-angle image of city skyscrapers in front of an ominous, ring-shaped phenomenon in the sky reminiscent of an all-seeing eye. The buildings are black but reflecting the red color of the sky. The center of the ring is black, with a reddish in the very middle.

The text at the top says:

Villain Protagonists
Married Main Characters
Criminal Underworld
Cosmic Horror

In the lower third of the poster, text says:

THE DEVOURING
A Novel by A. M. Shilling

News of his brother’s murder sends Jason on a vengeance-fueled hunt for the killer, but his wife Ayana suspects a more sinister conspiracy at play. The deeper they dig for the truth, the more they risk losing: their sanity, their lives, and each other.

moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing.DAD BODIES on top of a black d20, black background. To the right, PITCH & COMPS, CABIN IN THE WOODS X JOHN DIES AT THE END X KNIVES OUT, when their detective friend is murdered during annual gaming retreat, 5 dads nust use their years of ttrpg experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like npcs in a badly-written campaign."Fuck me, Troy."
“That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.”
Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him.
“Really, Troy? Now?”
Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself.
DAD FRIENDS, HORROR AND MYSTERY, DARK HUMOR, SECLUDED MANOR, TTROG ELEMENTS, DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.
