presenting the #agentsguide for my adult queer gothic horror romance wip featuring: 🥀 angel summoning cult 🥀 corruption arc(s) 🥀 extremely unreliable narrator 🥀 it’s all a metaphor for ocd the problem with angels is, sometimes, they talk back. ✨ready for betas in December 👀 #QuestPit #W #A #H

red wallpaper background, to the right is art by @nelsnote of a man looking up holding a bloody book, the light on him is coming from an angel wing and there are eyes in the dark behind him. he has an awestruck expression. to the left is, in gothic print, adult queer gothic horror romance, underneath that says ready for betas December 31, then under that the title forbidden fruits, with a honey drip underneath.

to the left a red and black-themed moodboard: around the top border and right border: someone falling through red-tinged clouds; someone in white embracing a dark shadow with a halo behind them; someone standing at the top of some stairs, surrounded by giant red bulging eyes; a faded black and white photo style picture of a dark smudge shadow and the shape of someone hooking their head over the shadow’s shoulder, crying dark tears; red-toned painting of an angel with three eyes. The left space is occupied by a text image, gothic white on red, that reads ‘the problem with angels is sometimes they talk back’ over and over again. on top of that picture, picture of a painting of an eye with a large gold star growing in it. to the right, pitch written in gothic print. the pitch: why do you need an angel?
according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him.

dark red wallpaper background. top left says comps, underneath are pictures of the covers for THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE by Caitlin Starling and EVOCATION by S.T. Gibson. under that is a cream coloured drawing of a wolf. top right says elements in gothic print. elements: angel summoning as dark magic, corruption arc, epistolary dual timeline, violent longing has consequences, Victorian secret societies, he’s not dead until I say so. to the left is an angel statue.

dark red wallpaper background. top left says feedback so far in gothic print. feedback is snippets from discord, saying: 1. THE KIND OF LOVE THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT might be in the apocrypha BUT STILL. and arguably, arguably, God so loving the world he gave his one and only son IS HONESTLY THE KIND OF OBSESSION WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE I GET YOU. 2. I feel like I was completely ignorant of what horniness even is before I met Simon and his whole deal. like, Jesus Christ, that dude. 3. I need to eat the fruits they are too tempting and beautiful.
In the centre is a statue of lucifer.
on the right is snippet in gothic print. the snippet: “I miss you desperately. I toy with effigies and cannot make myself reshape you in wax or clay. it’s you I want”

introducing my NA queer gothic horrormance wip: 🥀teaching the wrong student dark magic 🥀starting a cult to get attention from your favourite teacher 🥀angel summoning is an OCD metaphor #PosterPit #W #NA #H #R

dark poster with art by @nelsnote of a man looking up holding a bloody book, the light on him is coming from an angel wing and there are eyes in the dark behind him. he has an awestruck expression. there is a quote at the top right “I need to eat the fruits they are too tempting and beautiful” from my favourite author. the title “forbidden fruits” is in gold cursive. underneath, NA gothic horrormance is written. alongside the drawing, on either side, the words “angel summoning as dark magic”, “corruption arc”, “violent longing has consequences”, “he’s not dead until I say so”, “Victorian secret societies”, “epistolary dual timelines”. underneath, EVOCATION x THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE. underneath the following pitch : ‪“WHY DO YOU NEED AN ANGEL? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. Simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. ‬
years later, after an accident, Peter’s teacher is graciously caring for him, but Peter wants more than their fledgling friendship. rifling through his teacher’s letters, he discovers another student’s old obsession with the man they both love, and resolves to use this knowledge to get closer to him. He won’t stop until he has him—and the angels come to call.” Underneath, “coming to beta readers this autumn”.

Nothing but respect for Eoin Colfer writing an unapologetically environmentalist children's series in the early aughts. And the environmental themes in Artemis Fowl aren't symbolic or incidental; I was twelve being radicalized about polluted oceans and oil drilling and deforestation. King behavior.

An Agent's Guide to THAT WHICH DEVOURS

104k words | new adult sapphic dark fantasy romance | dual POV

The background is "And she never returned", an 1892 painting by Alfonso Simonetti. A woman sits on a cliff's edge beneath a full moon.

pitch

Princess Lenore is cursed to see ghosts. Court jester Fen is a monster hiding in plain sight. Lenore plans to slay Fen—until her brother is kidnapped by Others from the bog. Only Lenore knows where he was taken. Only Fen can lead her there. If they want to save the prince, they must work together, but Fen swore never to return for a reason. A long-dormant beast stirs within her. It hungers. Lenore must face her fears, and worse, her own dark desires.

comps

ANATHEMA by Keri Lake
-spooky, macabre world
-slow burn romance
-gothic

NETTLE & BONE by T. Kingfisher
-sharp humor
-whimsical, dark fairytale atmosphere

tropes and themes
-enemies-to-lovers
-(murder attempts are made)
-dual POV
-sapphic yearning

On the left is my drawing of Fen, bowing with her arms outstretched. She has grey-brown hair and gray-ish eyes. She's wearing a jester's motley of blue, red, and yellow. Lightning flashes outside the windows in the background, while orange torchlight glows from above.

On the right is my drawing of Lenore standing in the rain, holding a bunch of heather. She is pale with long wavy reddish brown hair and dark brown eyes, looking solemn. She's wearing a long white dress. The background is misty and dark in the rain, with a shaft of sunlight illuminating the ground in front of Lenore.

excerpt
Lenore hardly registered her words. The darkest of dreads blossomed in the depths of her heart. She couldn’t breathe. She couldn’t move. Not merely stiff from sitting for so long. Cold spread through her, cold so sharp it hurt, like shards of ice had pierced her lungs.
Black ichor spurted through her clenched teeth with a strangled gurgling sound. Inch by lurching inch, she forced her eyes down.

Two gnarled spectral hands protruded from her chest, curling long crooked fingernails into her skin through her dress. They lifted her up until her legs dangled limply beneath her, toes barely touching the ground.

A voice like the breaking of ice spoke close to her ear. “What have we here, dearest? A frail little fawn caught frolicking beyond her father’s walls?”
