In today's episode of "Am I living in a horror story?" my partner woke up during the night to me looking at the corner of the room and saying "Get out. You don't belong here. Stop staring at us." He flipped on the light, nothing was there. He turned it off then I said, "It's back." #BookSky 📚

Ever read a horrendous book by an established Big 5 author and think, “My book is 1,000 times better than this”? Truth: It probably is. Well-known authors can put out a dud and still get published because their name sells. Publishing is tough, and it definitely isn’t fair. #AuthorSky #BookSky

Third, blue D&D dice on a black background, they seem to glow faintly. Fourth, a sun sets in a dark sky, underexposed. Fifth, in the center, 5 silhouettes against a blue sky hike up a grassy hill. Sixth, a girl holds her hands in front of her face, her eyes are serious and aim at the camera and lights glow in-between her fingers. Seventh, a beam of light shines from a hole down into a cave. Eighth, a girl is silhouetted and looks out the bars of a cell. Ninth, is a closeup of the guard of a fencing sabre.

WHEN DEVILS SING X FEAR STREET "Four pieces reunited by sinner's hand may finally break the Curse." Looks like Chava Rose is sinning. 💞 Women's autonomy ✡️ Jewish mythology ❤️🩹 Star-crossed lovers who refuse to give up 🌈 Diverse ensemble cast ⚖️ Strong themes of equality #YA #H #Q #OV #BluePit📖

A title card with the text "An Agent's Guide to FROM ONE MIFLETZET TO ANOTHER - Katie Collan - young adult horror 95,000 words" over the outside of a synagogue.

Comparative titles with arrows pointing to relevant descriptions. Titles include: HOW TO SURVIVE A SLASHER by Justine Pucella Winans, WHEN DEVILS SING by Xan Kaur, Netflix's FEAR STREET 1994.

Captions:

HOW TO SURVIVE A SLASHER: "Ride-or-die female friendship", "Scream-esque meta humor"

WHEN DEVILS SING: "Deal with the devil"

WHEN DEVILS SING, FEAR STREET: "Small town curse"

FEAR STREET: "Star-crossed lovers", "Women's autonomy"

All three: "Diverse ensemble cast", "Themes of equality", "Exploration of identity"

Pitch: "When a Jewish girl accidentally reawakens an ancient curse over her town, she must fight through mythological nightmares and break the curse before she's torn apart like the demon who started it all."

A mood board featuring a collage of seventeen pictures, with the title "FROM ONE MIFLETZET TO ANOTHER" in the center and the sentence "FOUR PIECES REUNITED BY SINNER'S HAND MAY FINALLY BREAK THE CURSE" overlaying the collage in fragments. From left to right, top to bottom: the Jewish star hanging from a tree branch; a hatchet lying beside a digital camera; a red snake; a hand holding a lighter; a menorah perched beside Hebrew scripture; a Torah scroll; a depiction of Lilith, the mother of demons; a depiction of a powerful demon's silhouette; the entrance to a synagogue; an oak tree in the middle of a grassy field; a Torah scroll; a shadow-covered skull; the wall of a synagogue; a fire-breathing serpent rising above the sea; a luscious, green forest; thick roots of an old tree; a forest that leads into darkness.
