🎸 daisy jones x knives out 🗡 the songstress, the high-flyer, the gambler, the sweetheart, the watcher, the matriarch and the rogue. seven suspects. one the killer of renowned rockstar sam corvi. but who? only they can tell you #posterpit #q #a #lf #m
a movie poster for my novel ALL THE DEVILS. the main image on the poster is of a man with his face obscured showing only his eyes. this image is in black and white. 

over the image is some text. in the left hand corner is a snippet stating the following “there would be no them from the tomorrow that had already begun. the devils were done. the dream destroyed.” on the right of the image is some information about the novel as follows: daisy jones meets knives out, a literary mystery, crossover potential.

underneath the image is more text. first we have the tagline “the song of death never sounded so sweet”. next is the novel’s tile “all the devils”. “a novel by char young” follows this and then underneath is the novel’s pitch as stated above in the post. finally at the bottom are the words “coming soon to the query trenches” and “strand studios”

#PosterPit #PosterPitQ #F #H #A MOSSWOOD An unusual town. A dark, eerie forest. A string of disappearances. Three misfits. A mystery they would die to solve. THE RAVEN BOYS meets PIRANESI by way of David Lynch in this dark coming-of-age with queer & autistic representation!
A poster with an aged off-white background. In the center, a photo of foggy coniferous trees is overlayed with Josefa de Ayala's The Sacrificial Lamb painting. Above it, in a dark red sans-serif font, it reads "11-year-old Analía Monroe only finds solace in her small circle of misfits---her younger half-sister Rajel and best friend June---and the dangerous, magical world of Mosswood deep in the forests of their rural Oregon hometown, but their obsession may have deadly consequences." The photo is outlined with a dark red border. Above the border, in green sans-serif text, it reads "There is something in the woods." Below the lamb, there are dark red blood drips which give way to the title, a green serif font reading "MOSSWOOD" and then "a novel by E.S. Hanson." Below that, in the same red sans-serif font, it reads "Adult contemporary fantasy, folk horror, dark fae folklore, eerie forests." Bordering the image are small golden guardian angel figures.

The Strangehorn mausoleum in Highgate Cemetery conceals a time machine - a one-way ticket to Victorian London. When three cousins become stranded in 1860, their search for a way home is threatened by a gang of necromancers - and their grandfather is a prominent member. #A #F #PosterPit #PosterPitW
Against a black background is the form of a man wearing a gas mask and holding a flaring red torch aloft. The smoke from the torch is rising to form the image of a red, distorted human skull. Above the image, text reads: “When I drink Italian wine, I see dead people”

Below the image, text reads: 

Resurrection Men
A novel by Gert Ramm
A time portal inside a mausoleum sends three cousins to Victorian London, where they must rescue their grandfather and stop a necromancer from raising an army of the dead.

A red poster that says WELCOME TO THE ELYSIAN in yellow font. In the centre there is a picture of a theatre auditorium in reds and pinks, an usher watches over the audience and the curtained stage. Also in yellow text it says "London theatre is full of decay, desperation and debauchery. London's Elysian is no exception."

Just made a grave mistake, a mistake that I have never made in 37 years of being a south east Londoner. I accidentally got trapped amongst a crush of lairy football fans leaving Millwall. My dad worked next to Millwall for years and I still avoided it! Am now v late for dinner.

Watched The Brutalist at the Barbican tonight (obviously). Incredible film that felt like a novel. Am still processing it. Glad the intermission was there! Made everyone take a breath. Also wasn't expecting Joe Alwyn in it, or that he was going to be so fucking creepy. Jesus christ.

I spent half of January abroad, having a lovely time. I've been in three continents...! I've seen monsoons and one small bushfire! I've swum in the Indian Ocean! and yet January in the UK persists. this WEEK persists. I have never felt time drag like it has been now.

Sometimes when I can't sleep I go on right move to see local properties. This is a terraced house in Camberwell. A TERRACED HOUSE IN CAMBERWELL THAT WAS £30k IN 1996! This has given me palpitations. Surely the worst one I've seen.

One of the last true joys in life - reading a good book on a train or bus - has been ruined by people blasting music and games loudly on their phones. Like shut the fuck up!! Do I retaliate by playing Taylor Swift as loudly and annoyingly as my phone will allow?
