The short version is they feed off the work of their staff (usually down on their luck mortals and created species like imps) and the money brought in by customers. They consume empty lots around them if they can, so itβs very important to keep those lots occupied to prevent El Mart Warehouses.

The main character is half succubus so. . . But you all know about those.
Okay, so this oneβs gonna be a little odd; thereβs a sort of extra dimensional parasite feeding on the mortal plane through magical bodega-like extensions called El Marts.

The world for my current project is based a lot in medieval fantasy, but the high magic levels mean there's certainly some 'tech' available that would not have been present in our medieval era Europe. Rumor is a wizard in the Demonlands is working on some way of transmitting sound across distances.

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.

It can't get worse than that, right?

Gray grave, red rose black rose on fire, red rose with blood, hand coming out of dirt holding red rose, red roses on grave, house on fire, red solo cups, clock spinning.
Imagine:
Four dead teens get one month back on Earth to fix the past before they burn again.
But the past keeps changing. Someone is rewriting their memories.
Only one of them can be reborn.
But for the MC, winning means losing her siblings and the girl she loves who died with her. #wippit

Based on a true story, 'Seeing Emily' explores the struggle of a child with invisible disabilities, as her family navigates a maze of red tape, ignorance, and personal doubt to get her the education she deserves in a system that is failing children like Emily.

Aesthetic board: fairy tale inspired. Spiralling vortex, old book, spotted mushroom, women in gowns, the fairy godmother from Shrek 2, a clockwork pocket watch, and a work desk.
Aesop is a fairy godfather who has never once thought about his own happy ending. When a glitch in the fairytale generator produces Jessie, a wilfully unprogrammed character, heβs forced to consider what it means to be βrealβ.

A moodboard for my WIP. Black and white images of Elaine of Astolat looking at Sir Lancelot's shield, a cluster of skulls, a woman in a forest, a segment of the Round Table which shows Sir Lancelot's name, a narrowboat in a lake, bloody hands, a lily, the silhouette of a woman with a sword, and an engraving of Lavaine and Torre mourning Elaine as she lies dead in her boat.
THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING x SPEAR
All Elaine of Astolat ever wanted was to love and serve Sir Lancelot forever. But when she wakes upon her funeral barge with lilies blooming from between her lips, she must pose as her missing twin brother to find who tried to kill her.
