BACKSTAGE: Paddy, a famous actor is desperate for MORE. He makes a bloody deal for more fame. FRONT OF HOUSE: Betty, a naive usher embarks on an affair. It pushes her artistically and morally. But at what cost is the price of their souls and artistic voice? #PosterPit #A #Q #C

Currently over on the other place, lots of writers are doubling down on their AI use and are being called out for it, rightfully so. It's insane how much these people are defending something that didn't exist two years ago?! Their brains are completely rotten with it!

Get your tickets for the performance of a lifetime! "Through the dust, the smudge of pollution, the pigeon shit and grey lustre of the static Shaftesbury Avenue miasma, Paddy’s name was finally back in lights, glowing through the October gloom." #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #litfic
A black poster with yellow writing "WELCOME TO THE ELYSIAN" and a RGB split graphic of an Irish actor portraying the character of Paddy Mulholland and a quote in yellow that reads "The visions of maggots were like his rehearsals - ghosts trapped in a liminal space. Caught half way between real life and real performance, imitating something once real, a projection of his inner thoughts."

#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. 
Coming soon to the spirit aisle

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.
