A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.

The official book cover created by donutsthetic.bsky.social; shows the main protagonist engaging in a delicate ritual in Japanese Samurai Culture called "Seppuku" which involves disemboweling oneself to atone for one's sins. It is believed that by doing so, one can be absolved of their mistakes and regain honor.

ADDIE LARUE x VELVET WAS THE NIGHT

A hopeless romantic drags a grumpy college student with her to chase after an urban legend, and the rest is…

A nightmare of scary men and shady gangs and bloodthirsty vampires. Well, this certainly isn’t the romcom she had in mind.

Seren Kilig🪻🦋 @serenkilig.com · Apr 30

Ultimately, the Sword picks the Scribe — but I think @shannonlechon.bsky.social and I work better as partners, wouldn’t you say?

After the most stressful month of my life, I thought I'd want rest, but no. We have so many more queer, cutting, and unflinchingly Filipino stories to talk about ~ 🪶

Seren Kilig is represented by Shannon Lechon at Azantian Literary Agency. Seren is depicted by a drawing from littlestpersimmon on Bluesky, which is of Seren’s character, Rivers. Rivers is a brown-skinned androgynous Filipino wearing a black cloak with cloth bandages around their neck. The background of the image is a grainy vintage picture of a university library.

APPARATUS, an adult Historical Fantasy by Seren Kilig. The background is a grainy 2x4 moodboard centered around 1920s imagery. This imagery includes a flapper girl in a sparkly red dress, text that says “body & soul”, a dagger hidden in a book, a tube of lipstick overtop handwritten letters, red wine pouring into a glass, a deck of tarot cards, text that says “coffee and cigarettes”, and a red die with a miniature crown.
