Three friends descend into an abandoned Cornish mine. Two return. Police don’t believe Alyx’s story of their folkloric encounter — those who do belong to a covert force. Strong-arming her way into their ranks leads to answers, but they come at a cost, and loyalty can be fatal. #QuestPit #Q #A #SFF

A mist-strewn Lake District landscape background. Centred is the title: TRINITY. Beneath, the subtitle: Contemporary Fantasy | 99,000 words.

The same misty Lake District backdrop. On the left, four vertically stacked images: a thin tunnel inside of a Cornish mine with bright blue copper staining. A Land Rover Defender with its fog lights blearing, making its way through a misty forest. A regal Lake District stone mansion, cropped to show the bay windows. An abandoned factory, empty, but bathed in an eerie green light. On the right, a white box featuring the following pitch text:

BRITAIN'S FOLKLORE IS ONLY THE COVER STORY.

When an urban exploration ends with her closest friend being dragged into the darkness by a creature of local myth, Alyx Delaney can't save him. Worse, nobody believes what she saw.
Refusing to accept Conor is gone, Alyx claws for evidence and uncovers
Trinity: a covert,
science-forward organisation that has quietly shaped Britain's response to the horrors hidden within its folklore.
Grief drives Alyx to unearth hidden truths that the powerful at Trinity kept buried for decades.

A misty Lake District background. In the foreground, three book covers: Adam Nevill’s The Ritual, Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House and Samantha Shannon’s The Bone Season. Beneath, the title: SHELVED WITH.

The fairy in Leah’s jar promises to make everything better. All it asks for is a lock of hair. Then a tooth. Then something much harder to give. A dark fairy tale about wishes, sisters, and the monsters we create. #QuestPit #Q #A #H

Jealousy, guilt, grief. Baby Powder. The moral horror of Obsession meets the psychological decent of Stopmotion. What would you do for perfection?

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. #GhostPit #A #DS #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, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"
