Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story.

The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others.

The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel.

Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

Excitedly presenting an #agentguide for HEART OF THE BAYOU, my sapphic horror-romance—now in an inbox near you!!

🫀Deep Southern cryptids
🫀sapphic pining
🫀coming of rage
🫀monsters as a metaphor for queerness & disability
🫀 ✨Big 5✨ editor interest x2

#questpit #YA #Q #H #R #LGBT

An agent’s guide to: HEART OF THE BAYOU
A YA Horror-Romance

The pitch:

The deadly legends that prowl the bayou eat more than just souls— and one wants Elle's heart for her own ...

When a paranormal migration brings a slew of deadly soul-eating cryptids to the quiet swamps of Louisiana, subsequently cornering the paranormal clinic 17-year-old Elle works at—she must find out why the bloodthirsty monsters are migrating before BOLT, a paranormal branch of the FBI, threatens to shut down the clinic and arrest its supernatural patients.
But when she discovers her crush is hiding some monsters of her own, the kind of cryptid that might just take down the clinic and Elle's heart—she'll have to decide if she's ready to take the girl's advice and finally risk letting her own inner monsters out of the closet ...

Comps:
They Bloom at Night, I Feed Her to the Beast, A Feast for the Eyes, This Ravenous Fate, Hear Her Howl, The Coven Tendency

Snippet from HEART OF THE BAYOU:

I'd heard of the brutality of how these cryptids killed. How the survivors were lucky if you managed to escape with only an arm lost. How they enjoyed ripping people from flesh to tendons and finally bone, before they dove for the final kill and snapped their prey's neck, the tell-tale halo of blood flowering above their victims' heads

I only hoped there was something I could salvage once the beast finished.
The man's shrieks didn't cease until the monster's eyes glowed brighter, rubies sparkling in the center of a dangerous black mass. His body stilled, transfixed in terror. A silent scream began to pry his lips apart as if drawn by an invisible force. I winced, the sounds of bones clicking, dislocating, and popping as the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head. A fleshy lump burst through his shirt, pulsating and twisting like worms had taken ahold of his skin.

Tropes & Vibes:
“Only one bed”
Abandoned houses & creepy dockyards
Sociopolitical commentary
Neurodivergent, queer & anxiety rep
Lesbian MC’s
Cryptids & legends from the Deep South
Small town horror
The monster wins in the end . . .
Sassy x Stabby FMC’s

Central moodboard:
Swamp pictures, an orange moon, flannels, heart-shaped carabiners, a “don’t go into the woods” sign, girls kissing, a religious sign, a truck in a field

DANNY PHANTOM x WEDNESDAY

Well, Denny Dragan sure messed up this time. Rather than find his missing sister, he accidetnally released a serial killer ghost.

To make things messier, he needs help from Guitar, a medium who would rather practice his cello than save lives.

#QuestPit #Q #YA #H #MY

An Agent's Guide to Reach Out a 85,000 word YA Horror/Fantasy with mystery elements. It's a collage of tarot cards, a girl climbing into an empty pool and a cassette tape that says "In case I disappear"

Lined paper that says The Pitch at the top circled in red and a polaroid of a mauseleum. Then the following words: THE UNDERWOOD TAPES x WEDNESDAY

Denny Dragan sure messed up this time. While trying to find his missing sister, he accidentally released a serial killer ghost. Talk about a distraction! And to make things messier, he needs help from a medium who would rather let people die than help out strangers.

lined paper that says to the left "Tropes/rep" that's circled in red then there is a paper taped to it with the following words: "Found Family
Epistolary Interludes
Rewind, Replay, Repeat
Witchcraft
Meddling Kids
Missing Person
Unsolved Mysteries & Urban Legends
Ghostly Goals
90s Vibes" underneath is another paper taped with the following pride pins: Trans, Ace, Lesbian, progress pride"

On the left it says "Comps" and is circled in red then has two film strips that go from top to bottom: Wednesday and her friend in a cemetery, the Mystery Gang in a small town, the Losers Club in a cemetery, the Dead Boy Detectives in a bunker then The Underwood Tapes by Amanda Dewitt with two people on the book cover with film around them; the Name of the STar by Maureen Johnson with the book cover featuring a faded park image; Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake with a book cover of a ghost girl walking through fog to a house; Dead Flip by Sara Fraizan with a book cover of an arcade and heads above it.

Lined paper with an unspooled cassette tape at the top where it says "A snippet" circled in red and says the following: " Dear listener who is probably just Denny.

I bet you’re chuckling now ‘cause I’m right, aren’t I?
Anyway, this is my ‘in case I disappear’ tape but the rest is a real treat for you.

It’s some impressive project I’ve been working on.
Though if I am missing, tell mom it wasn’t the monsters, but I’m, like, studying archeology at some college where I’m on some research trip with the professor to find the amulet. Then really buckle down and be all like ‘You know, the amulet? How do you not know about the amulet? What kind of mom are you?’ until she cries or something then you can tell the truth. I want her to feel bad for always being ‘too busy.’"

ASHES OF THE SUN ➕ HORIZON ZERO DAWN

When a machine god severs the world from ancient nanotech, two engineer priests, a blademaster & her warrior-poet twin must hunt it for a cure—and revenge.

Failure will doom the world to divine wrath. Success will be deadly.

#QuestPit #Q #A #SF #F

A giant spaceship hovers over a dusty, walled fantasy cityscape. In the foreground, two figures stand in shadow looking out over the scene. The words "An Agent's Guide to CASCADE, by Gus Ryer" is along the top. His website, gusryer.com, is below.

A slide with metadata and story elements for CASCADE:

Genre: Science Fiction with Fantasy Elements
Wordcount: +-130,000

It shows the book covers for the following:
ASHES OF THE SUN, Django Wexler
THE ARCHIVE UNDYING, Emma Mieko Candon
ELDER RACE, Adrian Tchaikovsky
NOTES FROM THE BURNING AGE, Claire North
Ps5's Horizon Zero Dawn

Below that are the following phrases:
Found family
Failed terraforming
A vast, hidden history
Nanotech magic system
Epic fantasy quest in a sci-fi world
Ancient mechanical gods
Arachnid mammals & guard drones
Sword (1) vs. Railguns (lots)

$A warrior woman with a winged helmet, armor, cape, and spear is along the right side of the image, fractured into triangles. Part of the following pitch is along the left: 2,000 years in the future, a galactic human empire fell, severing TRAPPIST-1e from other inhabited worlds before its terraforming could be completed. Wild nanotechnology ravaged the land, and civilization fell into a dark age. Eventually, the God Keepers—engineer priests who restored ancient nanotech—rose to power. While Lendi dreams of life outside the God Keepers, Falder is desperate to keep his best friend from abandoning their order—and him. But, when an ancient machine god crash-lands in a ball of fire and gray death, it severs Keepers from nanotech, plunging the world back into chaos. Meanwhile, Sedna and Renfrik have little patience for Keeper rules or mysticism. But, when a flood of nanites in the god’s wake consumes their home, they’re left with nothing to protect but each other...$

Chapter 1

THE RUSH IS ON! This Tuesday, Planetfall, Inc. announced it would join the rash of megacorps racing to deploy terraforming infrastructure through the newly stabilized Taurine Strait. Previously dominated by New World Corporation, the franchised development of pseudoterra worlds is slated to be the hot market sector of the twenty-fifth century.

The streets of Mahyan never fully slept. Night’s darkness, not yet broken by either the sun’s rise or the blinding, baleful Eye of Toros, wrapped Lendi more completely than her robes. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that eyes were on her. She wanted nothing more than to run.
An eager vendor barred her way with his stringy arm. “A fine morning calls for a fine meal, miss.” He smiled and fanned out a selection of skewered mutton and whalemeat wrapped in sea grass. Pungent, spiced oil dripped onto the dusty street.

“We’re out of sight,” he murmurs. He kisses me again, crowding me until his chest presses against mine, his thigh between my legs, then pulls back slightly. “Now, will you let me take off your pants?”
“Yes,” I breathe.

In 1920s Minnesota, a gangster witch wants to escape her family’s criminal legacy and practice the magic she loves. But a blood oath binds her to them for life. When she falls for her mortal enemy, she must find a way to break her oath or forfeit her dreams. 🖤

#QuestPit #Q #A #HF

Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is an adult historical fantasy complete at 107,000 words written by Christi Playford.

Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is for fans of Freya Marske, Francesca May, and S.T. Gibson. It combines the 1920s setting, rival gangsters, and forbidden love of These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong with the magical curse, dysfunctional family, and plitical intrigue of A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, in addition to the sapphic romance, witchcraft, and illegal magic in Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May.

Tension between elemental and blood witches is on the rise. Gangster witch, Lola Cortéz, wants to escape her family's deadly legacy and the criminal underworld of 1920s Minnesota to practice the magic she loves. But a blood oath binds her to them for life, and the only ritual strong enough to break it might swallow her whole. When she falls for her mortal enemy and the woman of her dreams, Lola must attempt the dangerous spell to take control of her future before her father offers her in marriage as a peace treaty to the new gangster in town, and she forfeits a chance at the only life she's ever wanted.

Blurb

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…

Ryn is a small-town thief who has a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them.

Five for Silver, Six for Gold…

Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture.

Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told.

Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.

The Atmosphere:
There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol. Picture eight has a medieval alleyway. And picture eight shows a ship's crew enjoying a sunset.

There is text below the collage that says: ON SUBMISSION NOW!

#QuestPit #A #S #SF #W

Made from non-AI free stock images.

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom: A novel by B. van Bodegom
