Read #PhoningFaust for a high-concept fantasy involving cosmic entities, supernatural deals, through a lens of existential dread with a claustrophobic setting during the COVID pandemic. Thank you to #NetGalley and to #NineStarPress for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Cover image of Phoning Faust. A Gen Z retelling of Goethe’s Faust. Preorder it for release in June 2026

“This is not a cry for help.
This is a scream.
Please, please, please.
I don’t want to die alone.“

Queer mixed Indonesian college student Dian Faust attempts to call the suicide hotline only to dial the wrong number, her finger slipping and typing in six three times- calling up someone called Memphis- better known as Mephistopheles.

Dian Faust exists against a backdrop of bedrotting and depression which felt very real to me. Pick this one for a high-concept fantasy involving cosmic entities, supernatural deals, through a lens of existential dread with a
claustrophobic setting during the COVID pandemic.
Deals seriously with mental health and queerphobia. LOVED the inclusion of Dian’s grandmothers in this too. It was also really nice to see representation of a demisexual in a novel like this!
Read this if: you liked I Saw The TV Glow, that One Scene between Megan and Graham in But I'm a Cheerleader, devils, and serious treatment of mental health and sexuality in your books!

Thank you to NetGalley and to NineStar Press for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Maybe for you if you liked I saw the tv glow or that one scene in but I’m a cheerleader where Graham and Megan are cleaning together

I'm V, an artist/author who specializes in queer horror and science fiction. ❇️ links: linktr.ee/beyondbringer 🖊 twitch: www.twitch.tv/visceralhittv ❇️ vgen: vgen.co/visceralhit 🖊 ko-fi: ko-fi.com/visceralhit ❇️ patreon: www.patreon.com/c/visceralhit 🖊 itchio: visceralhit.itch.io

A graphic for Beyond Bringers. It has a green and cyan gradient background and says:
"QUEER | SCIFI | HORROR. Some time ago, a glimmer broke the horizon, blistering the periphery of sight and mind. Since then it has evolved to claim a name. The Beyond. A vast, ravenous entity gaining purchase in the world with each passing day.

Amidst the chaos, Nieve Lyonne rises to fill the long-vacant position of Biotheologist.

Beyond Bringers is a sci-fi horror novel about limits, language, and where humanity is lost. "

On the righthand side, the book's cover is on display. The title "Beyond Bringers" is aligned vertically. A woman emerges from an inky cloud holding a dagger. Her bones and muscles morph in and out of the ink drop. Behind her is a nonsensical space created with textures and patterns.

A graphic for Beyond Bringers. It has a green and cyan gradient background and says:
"A kaleidoscopic look at the pieces of ourselves left behind in others. “Who are you when the light shines down?

When it fills every void?

What do you call the shape that survives annihilation?

Only you can answer.”

On the left hand side, an illustration from the 15th chapter depicts two figures mirroring each other in a reference to the suicide of Dido. They each run themselves through with a sword with their faces obscured. One figure is dressed in green and the other in a reddish purple as two kaleidoscopes collide and shatter behind them.

I blinked and it was #portfolioday again I'm Ripley, an illustrator and comic artist in NYC who loves dark themes mixed with bright colors and cute imagery. I've done illustration work for TTRPGs, horror movies, print magazines & more 💕 💌skullingway.biz@gmail.com www.skullingway.com

Illustration is the cover for the game ‘the time we have’. The top is a strange cluster of flower growths that also look like fungi. There’s a for separating down the middle with two boys sitting on either side. The one on the left is glowing and has similar growths on him. The one on the right is holding a flashlight

Illustration of an angel statues breaking down and showing strange worm-like growths poking out, something shiny inside. There’s three comic panels on the right showing the infection spreading from the top to the bottom of the image. A delicate silver frame is at the top and bottom, with a pink background. The edges show a worn silver, checkered heart pattern

Cover for my comic, Sparkle. A tv with wings and static floats at the top, looking down on a young girl being levitated up, like a ufo abduction. Underneath is a sinister demon hand, as if it’s orchestrating everything

Illustration of the movie the substance - features both leads facing away surrounded by an bunch of imagery from the films (eggs, teeth, blood, eyes, tv, sparkles, beer, vial of the substance, stars, flesh) in a blue background with tiles on the border like elizabeth's bathroom

will 2026 be the year I get the opportunity to work on a sapphic book art?

Ryan is leaning forward, outside a painting frame, their lips close to brushing Rose's who is sitting over the frame, as their hand touches her chin. Ryan is wearing renaissance era clothing from her time, while Rose is donning a victorian gown. The frame is decorated with red roses and hawthorn flowers (the latter being a reference to Ryan's full current name, Ryan Hawthorne).

An artwork based on Romeo and Juliet by Frank Dicksee. Ipomoea is wrapping her arms around Reignn, stopping them for one last kiss as they are sitting over the balustrade. Reignn embraces her back, their lips almost close to touching. On the background a city can be seen, with mountains in the distance.

Camellia is holding Ametista in her arms as she pierces her heart with her sword. Ametista looks peaceful, her arms wrapped around Camellia's shoulders.

In the background there is a scene from their past. Camellia and Ametista are kissing in the gardens, a warm light pouring over the scenery.

The artwork has a golden frame with ornamental swords at the bottom.

On the right, Thalia leans forward Eirwen with a red flower in her hand. On the left, Eirwen reaches out, her fingers delicately brushing against the petals while her left hand brushes through Thalia's hair. Around them winter is thawing, flowers and foliage emerging still covered in a little snow.
