WHERE ECHOES WAIT #UnhingedPit #A #H AITA for keeping my wife in our dream home when she keeps saying the house is "replacing her" and "the well has children in it"? UPDATE: The village says IATA but they ALSO say she should stay??? A gothic horror. Everyone's the asshole. Especially the house.

🪦 ALICE & THE AFTERLIFE 🪦 #QuestPit #Q Reluctant medium Alice accidentally lands a job cleaning haunted houses & exorcising spirits... ...too bad 'chasing down a serial killer' wasn't part of the job spec 🔪 👻 paranormal mystery 🧠 autistic FMC 🌊 ghosts by the coast 🏡 found family (living & dead)

The image is of a fake book cover, mocked up for the novel ALICE & THE AFTERLIFE by Bee Morris. The background is a mish-mash of gothic, suburban houses, all layered over one another in chaos, in monochromatic shadows. The text, written at a slanted angle, reads: ALICE & THE AFTERLIFE, a novel.

A mood board with a brown parchment top section bearing the text: "Reapers crept into everyone’s lore, sometimes taking the Black Plague’s macabre form and other times the shape of animals. They were male or female or neither. Death was a dog, a screaming spirit, a saint. Reapers completed a necessary task, were a necessary evil, and that’s what Eva thought this was: a necessary evil which might save both Archer and her. 'May rest come easy.'"

Photographs below the excerpt include an image of black boots and the bottom of a long coat as someone walks on a rain soaked street, an old illustration of a skeleton and a fair woman to signify death and the grim reaper, a collection of human skulls, the black cat Binx from Hocus Pocus, Nancy from The Craft holding a dagger up to the sky, and a figure in a black hooded cloak silhouetted by a cathedral style window.

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.

#questpit #NA #A #POC #R #DR #W title: THE VILLAIN'S MUSE. KING OF SLOTH x GOD OF FURY x PERFECT ADDICTION She's healing a heart wrapped in silk carrying scars like armour. He's a broken monster with blood on his hands and a hunger for chaos.

the (new) dedication of the book that will HOPEFULLY stay as it is unless it goes through another change <3

the book features my bangladeshi fmc, mahira and my puerto rican mmc, valentino !!

the tropes of the book, not including the various microtropes throughout !!

the comps of the book, though the third comp is a movie comp and has a book by the original author itself—i prefer the movie more over the book of the same name, hence i'm comping the movie adaptation instead of the original book <33

He thinks she killed her best friend, she's almost certain she didn't. A burnt out candle & a tarot card were all that were left behind when her best friend disappeared from Black Mill 25 years ago. Now Victoria's determined to uncover the truth no matter the consequences #QuestPit #Q #A #T

In 1998, I was arrested for murder after a miscarriage. A plea bargain was my only way out. A world where women can be punished for what goes on with their bodies is a very scary place. It only gets worse. #Questpit #Q #NF #M #OWN

WHERE ECHOES WAIT #W #A #H #LF A woman restoring a remote Cornish manor slowly loses her sense of where her mind ends and the house begins. The village knows the pattern. They just won't say it out loud. Epistolary gothic horror. #QUESTPIT
