A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.

The wars of the Sengoku Jidai gave rise to unrest all over Japan. Unable to rest in peace, he walks the Earth with an impossible task in one hand and a katana in the other. Presenting... FUSHI NO SHOKUZAI (ONIMUSHA x GHOST OF TSUSHIMA) #SEAsianPit #Q #NA #A #AC #F #MR #M #SH #S #T
The official book cover created by donutsthetic.bsky.social; shows the main protagonist engaging in a delicate ritual in Japanese Samurai Culture called "Seppuku" which involves disemboweling oneself to atone for one's sins. It is believed that by doing so, one can be absolved of their mistakes and regain honor.

ADDIE LARUE x VELVET WAS THE NIGHT A hopeless romantic drags a grumpy college student with her to chase after an urban legend, and the rest is… A nightmare of scary men and shady gangs and bloodthirsty vampires. Well, this certainly isn’t the romcom she had in mind. #SEAsianPit #AG #A #UF #SPF
A series of six photos set against the backdrop of the ocean at dusk. First row, from left to right: A bus arriving at a bus-stand at night. Two hands holding pinkies at dusk. The silhouette of a woman's side profile lit by a dusky sky. Second row, from left to right: A 7-Eleven storefront at night; sausages and other street food being cooked on a grill; a flower shop with the interior lit up at dusk. In the bottom left corner is a torn sheet of paper with the words, "It's you."

Seren Kilig 🪉 @serenkilig.com · 30/04/2025
Ultimately, the Sword picks the Scribe — but I think @shannonlechon.bsky.social and I work better as partners, wouldn’t you say? After the most stressful month of my life, I thought I'd want rest, but no. We have so many more queer, cutting, and unflinchingly Filipino stories to talk about ~ 🪶
Seren Kilig is represented by Shannon Lechon at Azantian Literary Agency. Seren is depicted by a drawing from littlestpersimmon on Bluesky, which is of Seren’s character, Rivers. Rivers is a brown-skinned androgynous Filipino wearing a black cloak with cloth bandages around their neck. The background of the image is a grainy vintage picture of a university library.APPARATUS, an adult Historical Fantasy by Seren Kilig. The background is a grainy 2x4 moodboard centered around 1920s imagery. This imagery includes a flapper girl in a sparkly red dress, text that says “body & soul”, a dagger hidden in a book, a tube of lipstick overtop handwritten letters, red wine pouring into a glass, a deck of tarot cards, text that says “coffee and cigarettes”, and a red die with a miniature crown.

🌓 a soft interlude 🌗 [ #SaturDark ; #writing ; #fantasy ; #LGBT ; #mothlight ]
Slowly, the late winter sun waned, and the sister moons rose, each one half-full, a mirror of one another. Higher and higher they climbed, yet the firelight continued to burn as bright as it had hours ago. A refusal to acknowledge the dwindling minutes. If Bastien went to sleep, come morning he’d be faced with the cold realization that the man laying beside him was leaving. That tomorrow would be the last time he’d wake beside him. And how long had it taken them to get to this point? Too long, Bastien figured, since the time they did have now felt so short in comparison.

PSYCHOPOMP blurb 8 comes to us from Elaine U Cho, author of Ocean's Godori (and fun fact, also my agent sibling!)
A neon purple, pink, and blue column of light has the cover of Psychopomp on it with checkered yellow and green squares behind it. The cover of Psychopomp, art by Katerina Belikova, shows a woman named Young in a spacesuit/miner's suit. The book cover text reads: author of Liar, Dreamer, Thief Maria Dong "Science Fiction at its best" - Yume Kitasei, author of The Deep Sky and The Stardust Grail. PSYCHOPOMP.  The quote reads, "A visceral psychological foray. Psychopomp is a visceral psychological foray...there's no better author than Maria Dong to both bring us into the labyrinth of the human mind and bring us back out again."

this is one of those scenes you write the whole book for 🦋🌸 [ #SaturDark ; #writing ; #fantasy ; #LGBT ; #mothlight ]
It is as if tiny petals dance across their skin, once again beginning at the center of their face and moving outward. As if they had fallen asleep in a field only to wake and find themselves blanketed by wildflowers. There are delicate shades of blue and white and yellow; pale, pastel. I swear I spy shades of pink before the moment is over, before this magic of their own comes to an end, and in Cirah's place sits Juniper, just as she had been this morning.

On the top half of the image, text on a background of an urban nightscape that reads "For The Days We Never Had", followed by text against a translucent reddish background that reads, "After Kai Le and Ai Yu encounter a mysterious entity at a bus-stand, they find themselves getting what they wanted - and more. Thrown into the world of urban legends, they have to grapple with the monsters they have unleashed, both figurative and real. Are their dreams worth losing themselves over?"; "Adult Urban Fantasy - 94k words".

With the revitalization of the gothic genre, I often wish more people remembered that the genre traditionally builds heavily on suspense. To a certain extent, it should be predictable and the characters should make awful decisions. And that's not actually bad writing, but an homage to the genre.

Pitch card for SEE IN ME THE WOLF by Gwendolyn Vines. Background top image is an anatomical diagram of a torso with left arm outstretched, bottom image is of dark nested ferns. Atop the image is a digital painting of a man with curly dark hair and medium skin tone, wearing dark green clothing and a gold hoop earring in his right ear, looking away from the camera. His hand rests atop a text box reading "When Institute graduate student Jim invents a device that could revolutionize medicine, his intoxicating suitemate Bash warns him it could be weaponized—and stops at nothing to prove his point. Are Jim's degree & the lives he could save worth staining his conscience?"

Also in the text box is the author's name and "Adult dark academic fantasy, 107k words." Below the textbox are cover images of the Netflix show Arcane (with Viktor's face), BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN by M.L. Wang, THE TWO DOCTORS GORSKI by Isaac Fellman, DON'T LET THE FOREST IN, by C. G. Drews, and RIPE by Sarah Rose Etter.

Forgot to post here but if you’re a bookseller/librarian or someone else who works with books, my debut YA fantasy is now available to request on Edelweiss!
