The Nightstalker's Mark by Joachim Heijndermans Woman collects blood for her vampire lover.

(oh, and if you're looking to get Nightstalker anyway, you'd be better off getting it on Itch at the link here: jheijndermans.itch.io/the-nightsta... )

Cover to Beautiful Beasts 3, The Nightstalker’s Mark, by Joahim Heijndermans. Two women coated in a red colored hue hold each other in embrace, looking at one another. One a short haired blind woman with a tank top. The other is a vampiric creature who is nude, her ears pointed and the pupils in her eyes are narrow slits like those of a serpent. Her open mouth reveals a set of fangs, her intent implied to be nefarious.
The title of the book is colored with a yellow gradient, with the β€˜M’ in Mark similar to a set of fangs. Small dots of Braille writing repeat the title, a reference to the one woman’s blindness.

Having learned more about who runs Draft2Digital, it explains a lot why my one book, The Nightstalker's Mark, is not distributed as widely by them as my other books.

I wonder why?

Once again mad at "oooooo mental illness evil" cuz a game that recently came out that was literally "the voices made me do it. The voices make me so evil and bad : ( "

Is2g horror games do nothing but feed into the stigma around mental illness

The class war matters, absolutely, but those saying "no war but the class war" are generally abled white men who get supertouchy if anyone who's not an abled white man responds any way critically to anything they say.

We can't use slogans as an excuse to not challenge our own biases.

The tarot card for The Emperor, showing a black throne empty, save for the skull of a long-dead king, his crown, an orb, and a scepter. The throne is decorated with ram-like sculptures, and the phrase 'no masters' has been scrawled on it in Wormrōte.

A possibly ephemeral lion encircles and older man, who bares his throat submissively to the lion. The lion has its teeth in the man's neck and its claws digging into the man's chest and shoulder; the man raises his hand up to caress the lion's mane.

a front cover-esque illustration for the first anniversary of a story called '1951' that i am roleplaying/writing with my friend @rapturessaviour.bsky.social 

The image features a center art-deco-like golden frame, adorned in various fish, with a rose and blue butterfly at the top. Inside the frame are three scenes featuring the same couple, the characters Colin (brunette) and Fenneden (blonde). 
The top scene is them in masquerade outfits, dancing in front of a giant view into the turqouise bottom of the ocean that colors them so. 
The middle has them holding each other as well as the golden frame, their faces intimately close. Blue light hits them from the back, a warm orangey red lighting up their faces. 
The bottom scene has the two sitting down, Fenneden with a slice of red relvet cake on a plate, Colin with a book resting on his thigh. The blonde holds a fork ahead of the face of the brunette who, intentionally, has cream cheese on his nose. Beneath them is the title of the story, 1951, followed by a subtitle reading 'Am I corrupting you? Are you corrupting me?' - as well as a gramophone to the very right.
Behind the gold framing is various side characters, each glaring in various ways.

A quick elevator pitch of the plot in case you're curious: "In the underwater city of Rapture, the tailor Fenneden Fergus picks out the amnesiac pianist Colin Faust as his next muse for an ongoing sick desire, under the guise of 'Romance.' Colin quickly falls under the spell, the proces of affection simultaniously triggering long-lost memories, revealing the musician's true brutal nature. Secretly a homicidal maniac, Fenneden is the one person eagerly delighted by what he uncovers in Colin, causing him to suddenly feel DIFFERENTLY towards this subject compared to his usual ones.
Slowly, they pull each other away from each of their initial hoped outcomes, love and death, and meet somewhere in the middle."
