#questpit is on bluesky too?!?😱 Her life for a dream—that's the forgotten bargain Isla made with the god of sleep. 🩸Dracula, but immoral gods 💀Find you in every lifetime 🫀Dealing w/ Trauma & Abuse via Body Horror 🩶You came, you called 🥀Contemp, Gothic Fantasy & Historical themes #Q #A #LF #R #H

Title image: An Agent’s Guide to Where Heaven’s Teeth Grow; a horror-romantic literary fiction complete at 74,000 words.

The pitch:
Her life for a dream.
That's the forgotten bargain Isla made with the god of sleep.

Haunted by an enamoring, cruel god and the gruesome nightmares of her past, Isla must sacrifice her life to save her friends from a mysterious viral plague, all while ensnared into more bargains to sustain the god's vitality.

Snippet of the opening chapter:
PART ONE: BONE OF MY BONES
CHAPTER ONE

We spend our lives protecting our bodies from the rot we chase in death. But there is peace in decay. It marks the quiet end to a life that’d finally perfected the art of letting go.
Death comes for us all. It’s life we should fear.
“Get in your room, Isla.”
My wrist burned where my uncle squeezed, nausea clawing up my throat. He grasped my fist and held it in front of his face, my bones aching from the pressure.
He towered over me, his eyes glazed over.

Comps & Vibes—cover photos of Ethel Caine album, Rhapsodic, Dracula, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.
Quote: “His voice was a candlelit dinner, a raw slab of still-bleeding meat awaiting to both kill and satisfy.”

On an island quietly haunted by ghosts of grieving women, a depressed chocolatier teams up with five strangers—with scars of their own—to find their killer. Of the six, only five are really alive. Spirited Away x Shutter Island #QuestPit #W #A #F #T #PR

“She makes death taste like chocolate.” Picture of a girl in a white dress in a dark lake with her arm over her chest and white roses over her torso. “Grave of flowers by Dua Ceren Ay”

Grave of Flowers by Dua Ceren Ay Opening Lines: Every sane person knows better than to paint their walls eggshell white, but electric blue? That had to be a crime. Like whoever decided on the color scheme of this place was avoiding the topic altogether; yes, we were all crazy in here, and yes, we all knew they wanted to avoid the clichés.
So, no straitjackets, no padded rooms, no dull hospital gowns, just rooms and rooms and rooms of color until we bored ourselves to sleep or knocked ourselves out from the overstimulation.
We had Kelsie the high schooler folks who had become regulars around here liked to call Iron Fist—to thank for that demonstration.
It was just that the windows didn't open from the bottom, everything had a soft edge or lock, and the nurses had a way of always smiling at us as if we birthed their children. It was the little things that poked me.
So it was even more ridiculous that the early morning hour made the place seem... peaceful.

Comps. A Flicker in The Dark by Stacy Willingham: past repeats itself, small town, investigation. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig: Depressed MC, Magical Realism, Healing and new beginnings. Anxious people by Fredrik Backman: dysfunctional group of friends, social isolation, hope

Tropes: found family, unreliable narrator, treasure hunt/investigation, lost memories, small town. Themes: second coming-of-age, feminism, identity, overcoming trauma, friendship

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag. #QuestPit #A #S #SF #W

Made from non-AI free stock images.

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom: A novel by B. van Bodegom

A moodboard showing the pirate (Amir), the princess (Mira), and John.

Amir silhouetted against a cloudy sky with a sword slung over her shoulder and a group of joyful sailors on a pirate ship. She has this quote:

Continue to love
Continue to forgive
Continue to grow

Mira is shown in the reflection of an ornate mirror. She is wearing long white gloves and a pink ballgown with her hair in a natural updo and the lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted over her photo. There is another photo of two girls kissing in the surf at sunset. Mira has this quote:

We looked at each other a little too long to be “just friends”

John is shown with his bare back to the viewer, facing the sea with the trans pride flag subtly depicted over his photo. He also has a close up of iridescent mermaid scales and this quote:

Go bravely, go deeply, or do not go

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color.

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

The pitch: When a storms wrecks his islands’s passenger steamer, sparing only a girl believed to be one of the monstrous Finfolk, a grieving musician must uncover who she really is before more of his people die. Moodboard: Evil-looking mermaids, a violin, poisonous mushrooms and passenger steamers on stormy seas, with a moody blue-green hue.

Edward’s eyes grew glossy with tears. Then he began to jerk around like a petrified beast, causing the boat to lurch beneath them. ‘They’re everywhere,’ he said in terror and wonderment. ‘They’re coming for me.’

A film poster for TENEMENT. It shows a long narrow hallway with several closed doors, wood flooring & lightbulbs that color everything in an unsettling yellow-brown light. The hallway disappears into a swirl of darkness that distorts the walls, like a black hole sucking everything in. The text at the top center of the poster reads FOLLOW THE RULES, PAY THE RENT, DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. Above the main title at the bottom of the poster it reads FOR FANS OF HOUSE OF LEAVES & THE GIVER, and below the title "TENEMENT" is a subtitle which reads A SURREAL DYSTOPIAN MYSTERY. Across the bottom of the poster several tropes are listed as if they are the names of actors in the movie: FORGOTTEN KNOWLEDGE, BURIED SECRETS, MISSING PARENT, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, ESCAPING THE MATRIX.
