THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA × BEST SERVED COLD × THE BUTCHER BOY When a Court Jester snaps and brutally murders the tyrant king, he must perform and slay his way out of a kingdom in chaos, hunted by loyalists, hailed by rebels, while his sanity slips and fractures. #PosterPit #W #A #F #H

A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY."
The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask.
The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!"
The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.

Dean and his girlfriend want to explore polyamory, but Dean isn’t out as bisexual so it would be a terrible idea to choose the housemate of someone from Dean’s acting class as a third. Unless the housemate is really cute and funny and they both like him a lot… #PosterPit #Q #A #NA #R

Heartbroken by the man she loves, Amaya now has to vacate her home, too😢 So OF COURSE she thinks an arranged marriage will solve everything🤦🏽‍♀️ Ashraf‘s offer of marriage minus love is ideal so they get married Can they stick to this arrangement or will it become inconvenient? #PosterPit #A #R #W

Movie poster-style graphic for novel in progress called ‘A MOST INCONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT’ with author’s name Neha Yazmin underneath the bold title. Image is of a man and woman standing outside their bedroom. The woman is in pyjamas and is looking at the man with a challenge in her eyes, her hands on her hips. The man is a few paces away from her and in a light coloured suit, looking at the woman with what could be interpreted as longing in his eyes.

Along the bottom of the poster is the tagline of the book: “How long before their arrangement becomes inconvenient?” Along the top of the poster are four 5-star movie review-style texts pertaining to different aspects of the book. 1: “A ‘no love pact’” 2: “Dislike to love”. 3: “Bengali couple”.

Step one of surviving cancellation: secure an allotment for a rebrand. Step two: discover it’s double-booked by an infuriatingly hot chef whose career you once destroyed. Forced to share, their petty turf war turns into a food-stall partnership and a recipe for disaster. #posterpit #W #A #R #C #CO

A stylised romcom poster titled A Patch of Trouble. Three vertical panels show: on the left, a broody dark-haired man in a leather jacket (a down-on-his-luck French fine dining chef); in the centre, a basket of fresh vegetables on an allotment; on the right, a smiling blonde woman in a striped top and apron (the influencer who ruined his career). Text above reads that they are forced to share one London allotment plot. Below the title, the tagline compares it to Bridget Jones’s Diary and The Bear set on a South London allotment. Decorative laurels highlight tropes: enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, and “there’s only one vegetable bed”. Bottom text reads “Soon coming to query trenches near you.”

Middle row is the same sunrise from the first image.
Bottom row: Amita Suman as Inej Ghafa in Shadow and Bone, bathed in a blue green light, looking over her shoulder for danger, hair awry; middle image is of a sinister dark green forest; final image is Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark, half his face cast in shadow.
