I SAW THE TV GLOW x EARTHLINGS

Lucia’s almost positive she’s having a bad weed dream or something. But when her inner child introduces herself as Sofie, and the monster from her childhood nightmares returns to finish what he started, she stops being so sure. #Questpit #Q #A #H #S

Imagine having Jabba-the-Hutt’s twin brother as your dad. Or, well, someone who looks like him anyways. Lucia’s life in New Orleans is almost normal, except for that. And the glass growing out of her skin. But hey, at least she’s got edibles, right? #Questpit #Q #A #H #S

Carnivorous gummy bears. Incubi parading around as her boss. A giant, bald man who is set on eating her alive. To survive her own psyche, Lucia must walk through her subconscious and survive. Or, you know, have a panic attack on a New Orleans streetcar. #Questpit #Q #A #H #S

The image 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.

CABIN IN THE WOODS×JOHN DIES AT THE END×KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must use their years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly-written campaign. 🎲🥓

A moodboard showing the pirate (Amir), the princess (Mira), and John. Amir silhouetted against a cloudy sky with a sword slung over her shoulder and a group of joyful sailors on a pirate ship. She has this quote: Continue to love Continue to forgive Continue to grow Mira is shown in the reflection of an ornate mirror. She is wearing long white gloves and a pink ballgown with her hair in a natural updo and the lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted over her photo. There is another photo of two girls kissing in the surf at sunset. Mira has this quote: We looked at each other a little too long to be “just friends” John is shown with his bare back to the viewer, facing the sea with the trans pride flag subtly depicted over his photo. He also has a close up of iridescent mermaid scales and this quote: Go bravely, go deeply, or do not go

Pirates of the Caribbean—if Jack Sparrow were a vengeful sapphic ghost possessing a sapphic princess Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner went on a gender journey, and the curse could only be broken when two hearts meet the light—through love or bloodshed 🫀🗡️

Lucia’s inner child isn’t so inner anymore—she’s a flesh-and-blood woman named Sofie that Lucia keeps hallucinating. When the monstrous demon from Lucia’s nightmares, Mr. Mister, threatens to eat the two of them alive, Lucia must heal Sofie… or abandon her. #Questpit #Q #A #H #S

Actually the scariest feeling. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

So excited for #questpit next week! I’m Luke, and the novel I currently #amquerying is called What’s Left of Lucia: a 93k visit back to your scariest childhood nightmares (psych horror). Also, weed, body horror, and incubi…

Just joined Bluesky's #WritingCommunity while querying my weird little horror/psych novel. Hoping to connect with other authors here. Drop a comment or follow, and I’ll follow back! #amquerying #WritersLift #amwriting

a teal background with a pink flower border and a pink banner in the middle that says “#questpit Q&A” below that is words in a dark teal that read “Join us today at 12pm EST to introduce your manuscripts to the community and prepare for May 7th”

In two hours we will be starting our pre- #questpit Q&A for all those who want to meet some of the other participants! We can’t wait to see you there!

Can someone explain what #questpit is to me? It’s my first time #querying and I’m trying to get more involved… super excited for May 7th regardless!

#WritingCommmunity #amquerying

sometimes the scariest part of growing up in a horror novel isn’t the monster under your bed.

it’s realizing you're never getting that old version of yourself back.

(wrote some horror about it. #AmQuerying #PsychologicalHorror #DarkFiction)

if you mashed i saw the tv glow with her body and other parties and sprinkled in judge holden, you’d get my debut novel.

what’s left of lucia — 93k speculative horror

querying now. unless i’m studying.
