Starless Sea🔮Addie LaRue✨Piranesi 1800s London. Alchemists can extract a person’s soul by solidifying and removing their pain and suffering. Consuming the resultant ‘seed’ confers malign immortality. In an age of unchecked technological development, is this an advance too far? #questpit #Q #F #HF

ANNIHILATION x BLACK MIRROR x DARK MATTER ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Critics are raving about HAWKE ARCHIVES: "A bleeding heart at its quantum core." "Unnerving. BRB need to destroy my devices." "I didn't read this. It READ me." #PosterPitQ #SF #T #H #A

Cyberpunk, tech-noir style movie pitch poster for HAWKE ARCHIVES, a Kaitlin Harvey original novel. Starring: identity dissolution, techno paranoia, real privacy threats, and a thriller structure with a bleeding heart. A quantum core looms in the background, next to the tagline: "ALL PARENTS LIE TO PROTECT THEIR KIDS. HERS LIED TO PROTECT THE WORLD." A glitchy, hooded figure stares out at the audience, but we don't know who they are. Overlaid near the title of the novel, a hawk and radar graphic stretches offscreen. Beneath the title, the pitch: "Disgraced hacker Carley Hawthorne must untangle her father's past before his quantum algorithm can destroy all data privacy--and her very identity." Beneath this, to both unnerve and entice: "THIS THRILLER READS YOU."

Tolstoy tragedy meets Steinbeck America when a Soviet Cosmonaut crash-lands in the heart of Cold War America #posterpit #posterpitos #A #HF #T

A “movie poster” for Kirk Rafferty’s manuscript, The Cosmonaut and the Fisherman, currently on submission. Dark blue/green background with the planet Earth almost completely in shadow, with the blazing yellow streak of a capsule re-entering the atmosphere. Bold “The Cosmonaut and the Fisherman” superimposed over the planet. At the top, the caption “Nobody was supposed to know. Now, the world will learn the truth.” An actual author blurb below that: “‘Richly imaginitive and dramatically gripping’,” - Dirk Cussler, author of The Corsican Shadow.” Stylized in the form of casting credits: Found Family, The Fugitive, Cold War Paranoia, Secrets and Lies, and Ticking Clock. Below that, the words “On Sub Now,” and the author’s website, kirkrafferty.com. Stylized as movie poster fine print: A Kirk Rafferty presentation. A Nyetflix Films Production. 1961. In a world divided by iron curtains and open skies, a Soviet cosmonaut crash-lands in west Texas. Injured, hunted, and lost in translation, she finds unexpected refuge on a small ranch with two orphans with their own secrets. Hunted by an FBI agent with his own agenda, she must choose between completing her mission, or trusting the very people she was raised to fear.”
