⚓FROM THE SEA FRET⚓ - A cosmic horror from a queer perspective Callum Point moves to Perne in search of peace. What he finds instead are religious zealots, monstrous fish, and a constant fog that whispers to him. #QuestPit #Q #A #H #LGBT
Two fishing boats sail on a grey ocean, with seagulls in the overcast sky. White text overlaps the grey sky.
It reads: A guide to 'From the Sea Fret' a 74k adult queer horrorGrey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Excerpt
Text is outlined: I scanned the horizon. It was just me on the water. There wasn’t anyone out sailing, or anyone swimming. I was completely alone.
	But… was I? Beneath me were leagues of ocean. Unlike in the forest, where you can hear the wildlife around you, there were creatures that could pass by in the sea and I would never know. The water concealed their movement, cloaking them from my view.
	It was getting harder to breathe. The vastness of the ocean was too open, and my skin felt too tight around my chest. I knew, deep in my bones, that something was beneath me and it was watching.
	On the port side, the water rippled. Though it was only a few steps, the length of the deck felt miles long. I was compelled to look below, and my body moved on its own accord. Though I was terrified of what I would see, I peered over.Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Pitch and Comps
Text is outlined: Callum Point moves to the dead-end town of Perne to scrape together a new life. He's hoping that the small fishing town will give him what he always wanted; peace. Unfortunately, what greets him is a place rife with secrecy, conspiracy and creatures beyond comprehension.
5 posters for books and shows have arrows and notes coming out of them.
Dredge by Black Salt Games has the notes: Capitalism despite the horrors. Something's wrong with the fish.
Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner has the notes: Queer and trans identity. People are monsters too.
The Fisherman by John Langan has the notes: Lovecraftian. Ocean madness.
The Lighthouse by Robert Eggers has the notes: Ocean madness. Obsession with answers.
Blood in the Bayou by Just Roll With It has the notes: Who can you trust? Small town cosmic terror.Grey ocean, with a white-capped wave, serves as the background. The title reads: Themes
A moodboard of 9 images sits in the middle. A hand reaching out into dark water. Thick seaweed-covered chains being pulled from the ocean. A foggy wharf at night. A group of sharks in dark water. A pencil drawing of a compass on white paper. Close-up of a hazel eye with the pupil completely white. A pile of fish. A porthole looking out onto a grey ocean. The inside of a fishing shack.
Text surrounds the images. It reads: Paranoia turns revenge. Struggles with identity. Trans and queer rep. Grief over what could have been. Desperation to fit in. Cosmic/psychological/body horror.
Content warnings: emotional abuse, attempted sexual assault, manipulation, transphobia, internalised transphobia, misogyny, cosmic horror, psychological horror, religious trauma, drug/alcohol use, gore, death, blood, paranoia, body horror

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. #QuestPit #A #H #MY #Q
The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, 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.
