NETTLE & BONE x ANATHEMA Fen hungers for Lenore’s beating heart. That’s love, right? Lenore is haunted by Fen’s fanged grin. Clearly the cure is to murder her. But with 2 lost siblings—1 long gone, 1 newly taken—such desires must wait. The bog plans to devour them all #DVpit #A #F #DF #R #FR #LGBT

NETTLE & BONE x ANATHEMA If a monster's capable of love then Fen loves Lenore. She files her claws & ignores the bog’s call. But when the prince is taken, she must lead Lenore to where she swore never to return. Her hunger grows—she must protect her beloved from herself #DVpit #A #F #DF #R #FR #LGBT

ANATHEMA x NETTLE & BONE Fen loves Lenore. Lenore plans to kill Fen. Fen doesn’t mind—it’s not the 1st time. But when Lenore’s brother is abducted, she needs Fen to find him. Only for her would Fen return to the bog, even if it bares her bloody past & the monster within #DVpit #A #F #DF #R #FR #LGBT

An Agent's Guide to THAT WHICH DEVOURS

104k words | new adult sapphic dark fantasy romance | dual POV

The background is "And she never returned", an 1892 painting by Alfonso Simonetti. A woman sits on a cliff's edge beneath a full moon.pitch

Princess Lenore is cursed to see ghosts. Court jester Fen is a monster hiding in plain sight. Lenore plans to slay Fen—until her brother is kidnapped by Others from the bog. Only Lenore knows where he was taken. Only Fen can lead her there. If they want to save the prince, they must work together, but Fen swore never to return for a reason. A long-dormant beast stirs within her. It hungers. Lenore must face her fears, and worse, her own dark desires.

On the left is my drawing of Fen, bowing with her arms outstretched. She has grey-brown hair and gray-ish eyes. She's wearing a jester's motley of blue, red, and yellow. Lightning flashes outside the windows in the background, while orange torchlight glows from above.

On the right is my drawing of Lenore standing in the rain, holding a bunch of heather. She is pale with long wavy reddish brown hair and dark brown eyes, looking solemn. She's wearing a long white dress. The background is misty and dark in the rain, with a shaft of sunlight illuminating the ground in front of Lenore.excerpt
Lenore hardly registered her words. The darkest of dreads blossomed in the depths of her heart. She couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t move. Not merely stiff from sitting for so long. Cold spread through her, cold so sharp it hurt, like shards of ice had pierced her lungs.
Black ichor spurted through her clenched teeth with a strangled gurgling sound. Inch by lurching inch, she forced her eyes down.

Two gnarled spectral hands protruded from her chest, curling long crooked fingernails into her skin through her dress. They lifted her up until her legs dangled limply beneath her, toes barely touching the ground.

A voice like the breaking of ice spoke close to her ear. “What have we here, dearest? A frail little fawn caught frolicking beyond her father’s walls?”

The opening lines of THAT WHICH DEVOURS 👀 "Princess Lenore Direhart knew life was not a fairytale. The monsters were real, but there were no happy-ever-afters. Only death, and if one was lucky, that was the end of the story." #DVParty

DON’T NAME THE DEAD If three queer 20-somethings manage to not get eaten by the pandemic zombies, they’ll still have to dodge a preacher bent on building his post-apocalyptic flock. 🧟🏳️‍🌈SISTER MAIDEN MONSTER x THE LAST OF US #H #na #a #agentsguide #sf #queerpit #lgbt
Two side by side red button memes. The buttons on the left say deal with the hordes or deal with the creeps and the sweaty man below is wiping his forehead. 

The left meme is similar to but in muted tones and the sweaty man has been overlayed with a zombie. The buttons say good people and guts
