CEMETERY BOYS x THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH A goth trans sorcerer tries to weasel out of his contract with Hell and accidentally resurrects a corpse, rescues a child, and reconnects with his humanity along the way. #QuestPit #Q #YA #F #H #LGBT
A black background with flames on the bottom. White text reads: YA Horror Fantasy, 85k words. A Not Yet Corpses Agent's GuideA black background with flames on the bottom. A Tropes/Comps graphic for Not Yet Corpses. Various orange arrows point to the cover in the center, depicting a pale, white-haired teenager wielding a knife and a handful of flame. Tropes: Annoyances to Friends to ???, Devil Deals (with red devil graphic), Stabby Trans MC (with cover of Ander Joseph White's The Spirit Bares Its Teeth), Goths Gays and Theys, Found Family, Accidental Resurrections (with cover of Aiden Thomas' Cemetery Boys), Combatting Oppression (with cover of H.E. Edgmon's The Witch King)A black background with flames on the bottom. Excerpt from Not Yet Corpses: 
“So what do I call you?” he asks.
“Roy.”
“Just Roy?”
Even under the sepia light of the streetlamps, he radiates life. It’s off-putting. Downright annoying, when I think about it too long.
“Unless you want to call me Riordan Payne.”
He laughs. “Weird—I like it. Monster Hunter, Riordan Payne.”
“Not a monster hunter.”
As much as I want to punch him every time he opens his mouth, I can’t shake the pride settling in my bones, watching him do something as simple as running a hand through his hair. You’d never know he was dead an hour ago. I did that, and I'm not even sure how.
Beneath that pride, a primal fear coils inside me. If my patron ever finds out what I’ve done, there’s no telling what he’ll do to the corpse. But I’ve got a pretty good idea what he might do to me. I have to dump this undead body the first chance I get.A black background with flames on the bottom.
Pitch: After Riordan Payne accidentally resurrects an amnesiac corpse, he'd do anything to get rid of it. He didn’t think ‘anything’ meant making friends with it, rescuing a kid wizard together, taking a road trip across the desert, or reawakening his humanity.

The Orange Peel Game in a collage of theater motifs, ciphers, oranges, and 1949 magazines. Text says: Caroline shouldn't have heard what was on that call.The Orange Peel Game. The Westing Game meets National Treasure. Blurb: Caroline shouldn't have heard what was on that call.

It's 1949 in Cincinnati, a time where everyone is unwrapping their wounds of war. Caroline, a
switchboard operator, overhears a murder in a nearby phonebooth with no one to believe her. But the encryption games of WW2, it seems, are not quite over: Her search for the killer propels her into a game of puzzles and cyphers laid out across the city. Those who've already been playing watch her from the shadows, and one of them might just be the murderer. And there's one more thing curious about Caroline:

She can taste the world. Comp titles: The Westing Game, for forced compition. Blue Prince, for vibes and puzzles. The 7 and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, for high concept and twisty mystery.Excerpt from The Orange Peel Game reads: A small, wooden box, golden and virtually glowing with varnish. It was thoughtfully carved. Scalloped feet. A border of inlaid, yellow flowers crowned its sealed lid. Caroline neared a step closer to determine it was a music box, though just slightly larger than most. With another shuffling step aside, she realized it could rather be a jewelry box, just slightly smaller than what a woman would prefer.
Whatever it was, it looked awfully benign. It was something that very clearly didn’t belong. She could easily step over it, or around, but it arrested her by the now sealed doors at her back and demanded her every attention. In a stripped-out theater, this small object was what remained, pristine.
As she craned her neck to look around its corners, everything about it seemed entirely innocent— all except for a massive and brutish industrial combination lock, biting on its delicate features. Caroline looked up, with an unease rising in her gut, as it all had started to feel…

Her fairytale ending gets disrupted when her former vampire lover crashes Thanksgiving dinner and asks for her special set of skills to help him rescue his trafficked bride.

CRIMSON IDOL 🩸 Adult Science Fantasy WIP, EVITA x STAR WARS x CLEOPATRA “Pick me a fruit. Write me a poem. Raise me an army, if you’d like. But none of that is of much importance to me. No, all that I ask is that you know me. Fear me. Love me. Only then will I be content.” #W #A #SFF #SF #questpit
intro to Crimson Idol

Crimson Idol is an Adult Science Fantasy WIP that reimagines Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar through the eyes of Cleopatra.

The bottom part of the image contains two mannequins dressed in a roman styled long crème gown and long black hair (left)  and a 1940s soldier-inspired outfit with a long cape (right).

In between the mannequins are small heart glass beads to act as bullet points for a list that reads:

Revenge Revenge Revengeexcerpt

"“His kisses fell over me like stars. Sweet and light one moment and then harder, deeper. Some of them stung, and some did not, but I took it all in as the tide took its bounty from the shore.
 
I enjoyed his attentions, and I let him know it. He did not touch me in the way that Altan touched me; he did not kiss me as Altan did. Even then, I found it difficult to push thoughts of him away. But it is impossible not to compare one lover to the next, no matter how hard you try. There is always a bit of one that you yearn for, despite yourself. Despite everything
.
Cato touched me as though I were an idol. His fingers caressed and moved along me as though my skin were a marvel, my face a statue. Altan was much more reciprocal; what I did to him, he would do to me. With Altan, it was a fervent affair that I’d liken to war.”

The Earthlings Cover with 4 teens under a UFO on top of a giant alien headA group of second generation aliens sleeper cells have spent their entire lives assimilating to human culture and gathering intelligence for the home world. To them, the eventual overthrow of farth has always been a distant goal meant for future generations.
Now, when ordered to abduct and replace a human girl they have befriended, one of the alien operatives realizes that they have grown to care more for their found home and family than they do for their own people. She sabotages the abduction and goes on the run with the human girl.
Her friends are ordered to track her down, but now questioning their own mission, they find themselves wondering if the entire invasion is a mistake and if they have more in common with these Earthlings than they ever thought...

Text reads: 
Former lady Lunabeth Brilhart had gotten her sea legs a long time ago, but she wished she'd never had to in the first place.

She'd navigate this ship across the entire world to find mermaid treasure, if that's what it took to go home.

#QuestPit #Q #A #F #HF #MY #LGBTQ DRACULA meets A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES with a dash of OSCAR WILDE Irvine Riddell starts his studies at Cambridge University after being orphaned for a second time. There he meets the pale yet compelling Anthony Cooper, and all the problems of Anthony's vampire clan.
A mocked up cover of a book with the title "The Riddell Journals" and author "Dr Richard Hussey".

The cover shows a sepia photograph of King's College Cambridge, a gothic style building in the winter with bare trees.  A blood red moon lurks in the upper left corner, and a faint tracing of handwritten text is layered over the whole image.

Snippet: On Bliss
And when the others stopped at the close of
the hymn, Rushak's little finger caught a string, a note to spark a new melody, and a broad and complex theme ignited in his soul. He shifted key and time signature, setting it loose with a whoop of abandon.
Others joined, hesitant at first, then fierce as the stars. Dancers circled in smears of color and gilt. And then—when the music crested the treetops in tongues of bright fire; when immolation brought ecstasy and
drumbeats ruled his pulse; when his letra writhed, a wanton sorceress under his fingers—he recognized it as bliss too heightened to be real.

And it ceased then to be bliss.
