Not sure if mine fits because it's more contemporary dark fantasy with strong horror elements but I'll drop my pitch. "Burdened by a childhood promise, an eldest daughter returns home to help her sister survive the deadly rituals of their family's magical cult."

But Eira had never seen a fae, and as far as she was aware, they only existed in bedtime stories. Tucked between thick pages and dried ink, the biggest threat they posed was heavy eyelids, hungry for sleep." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I write fantasy horror, always mixing magic and the grotesque. So what if a secret society of witches participated a series of trials to sacrifice their own to an ancient god in exchange for power and magic?

THE HORRORS OF US is a genre bending fantasy with witches, violent and fast paced trials, and an FMC who just doesn’t give a damn. #WIP #writing #horrorbook

Set out to write a witchy horror novel dripping with blood. Ended up writing about the horrors of troubled mom + daughter relationships. #writing #horror #horrorbooks

Text over a bed reads “it cannot be compared to the gaping valleys carved into a heart whose only defect was wanting to be loved by her mother”

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I tend to write a blend of horror and fantasy. I can’t write horror without some fantastical elements. I write horror because it feels like coming home after trying several other genres. I’m a 90’s kid, so I think Goosebumps— Evil Lawn Gnomes. #HorrorWritersChat

don’t name the dead
Vivvi was getting wasted for her 21st until she woke up in a drunk tank, which was the only protection from the cop zombies trying to eat her brains.

Stetson was painting his nails and avoiding his family's far right extremist bunker party, unaware that the virus they all ignored would mutate, and he’d have to fight his way out.

Dove was home alone in a post-wisdom tooth coma, still dreaming about her hot dentist, while infected people turned and began to eat immune survivors.

The Dentist was doing an after-hours call, where a patient bite transformed him into a flesh craving monster.

They all want each other—but not in the same way.
And they really need to stay the hell away from the Preacher.

FROM THE SEA FRET 🌊 A queer transman with a past he's trying to forget 🌊 A creepy small fishing town with strange citizens 🌊 An ever-present fog And there's something big and terrible in the water... #QuestPit #W #A #H #LGBTQ

Outlined text over a dark blue ocean. The horizon is obscured by fog.
The text reads: From the Sea Fret. A queer horror novel

A moodboard consisting of 5 pictures, each outlined in navy blue. The 5th picture is in the centre.
A foggy wooden dockyard at night.
The inside of a tackle shop. Nets, buoys, and fishing paraphernalia hand from the wall and ceiling.
A pile of grey fish.
A hand reaching out of grey water, the sky above is overcast.
A fishing boat on the ocean. Seagulls swarm it in the air.

Outlined text over a dark blue ocean. The horizon is obscured by fog.
The text reads: From the Sea Fret. Callum Point is a queer transman with a complicated past. He’s haunted by all that happened to him, and he’s eager to leave it all behind.
He moves to Perne to live life on his terms. He’s hoping that the small fishing town will give him the respite he craves.
What he finds instead is a town rife with secrecy. The people are strange, and unwelcoming. However, the thing that keeps Callum up at night is the ocean.
In Perne, it’s always foggy. Worse, there’s always a thick band of mist obscuring the horizon.
One day, Callum makes a discovery that catapults him down a path he can’t come back from. But maybe that’s just the thing that will help him escape his past.

Outlined text over a dark blue ocean. The horizon is obscured by fog. Arrows point to words scattered across the image.
The text reads: From the Sea Fret. Revenge. Queer Transmac MC. Cosmic horror. Paranoia. Thalassophobia. Creepy small town.
