Gothic mood board for a fiction novel featuring a skull, medieval Irish imagery, catholic symbolism, and gothic horror romance vibes. Text in the center reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 80,000 word gothic horror, SmoochPit 2025"

Gothic mood board for a fiction novel featuring a skull, medieval Irish imagery, catholic symbolism, and gothic horror romance vibes. Text in the center reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 80,000 word gothic horror, SmoochPit 2025"

The Pitch:

When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s eternally young banshee, he hunts her down to learn who in his family is fated to die. In the struggle, his touch triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life as a servant of his household—and she demands to know more. 

They meet by moonlight searching for answers in the banshee’s memories, and Ciarán’s growing attraction sets him on a path of macabre desire. But as the devastating bubonic plague closes in, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his dying family or succumb to the seduction of the death-bringer.

HAMNET x NOSFERATU

The black sheep of a powerful 14th-century Irish family pursues a forbidden romance with the eternally young banshee who’s haunted his estate for generations, but as the bubonic plague closes in he must choose between the living and the dead.

A series of photographic images on an embossed grey background. Clockwise from top: Two people holding hands; a barn owl; London in sunset; a rose in ash; a microphone held in grey mist; a candle; a vampire with long white hair, their fangs showing; the eurostar; a sunrise or sunset; tea being poured from an elegant teapot into an elegant cup; a Victorian-era woman in a black mourning dress.

Title: Pitch
Text:
 In the twenty years since the vampires rose up out of the earth, Corado hasn’t done too bad for himself. He’s still alive, for one, and he’s got a lucrative trade as a nightrunner smuggling people  beneath the vampiric horde that blots out the sky each night. It's dangerous work, but enough to get a roof over his head and a bottle in his hand at the end of the day. That’s pretty good for life under the vampires.

Then an attack from the horde leaves him stuck in the desert, alone with a newly-orphaned boy, and his luck finally dries up. He resolves to find what remains of the boy’s family and put it all behind him—but instead of taking him off Corado’s hands, his so-called “family” offers a new deal: escort them to the vampiric capital in exchange for a veritable fortune.

Corado knows he shouldn’t. It’s a long, dangerous route, and the group has a smack of sedition to them that he knows firsthand to be a quick way to a bloody death.

 It is a hell of a lot of money, though.

There's three rules to surviving as a nightrunner: don't get comfortable, don't be a hero, and don't be unlucky.

Corado's about to break all three.
