Ooo I love the concept of your body belonging to another version of you during the day! It sounds like Severance is a great comp

That’s definitely it! It has some funny and lighter moments but overall it’s a pretty serious story.

So interested to see how being able to control perceptions would pan out, can she change how people see an actual event, or their thoughts and feelings? Sounds like it could be really good!

Oooo this is such an interesting concept! I’m intrigued on what the scenes if there are any of him growing in the trunk are like, his thoughts, etc.

Thank you! I couldn’t write this because of the character limit but part of the story is that it comes for every girl in the world before she turns 19! So she wants to survive so she can be there to help her sister survive one day too

I missed posting this yesterday for #DVParty Day 1! This is my moodboard for my novel, THE TERROR 📖 It’s a literary speculative fiction novel set in Nigeria (yesterday was also our Independence Day 🇳🇬), and follows a young girl who will be visited by a murderous spirit that preys on insecurities.

This sounds really interesting! I think the line ‘any good detective’ is a bit confusing though, wouldn’t a good detective know that anyone could be a suspect? But I could be reading it wrong!

Oooo colour me intrigued I love this kind of mystery in a book or show! If you haven’t read We Need to Talk About Kevin (though you probably have) depending on the plot of this it could be a good comp!

This sounds interesting! It has me wondering what exactly happened - did he later come to the moment of adoption only to realize he killed the people that would have adopted him? Very curious how it would work! The only thing I would say is do you mean ‘his parents die’, not parent?

Haha thank you! I got the same feedback from one of my beta readers - she put herself in Winifred’s shoes and wondered what would happen if The Terror was real and coming for her.

I love the comparison of Bunny and Tradwife influencers, I feel like that paints a clear picture of the vibe of the story
