"Averting his eyes from the bright moon light, he saw the shadow of a bucket in the gloom. If only he could reach that, use it to support him. He swung his legs, the rope biting into his armpits." #WIPSnips #Writesky

#MiseryPit #WIP #A #H JEEPERS CREEPERS X SEE NO EVIL X THE MIST What would you and your friends do when a fun night at the county fair turns into a night of survival after crossing paths with a serial killer? Craosdeamhan is the Midwest's New Nightmare!

ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK X THE GOD OF THE WOODS A serial killer is hitting like clockwork—1 ☠️ per day. The local police, FBI, and a floriculturist with a passion for pastries must track his signature to save the last shreds of innocence left in small-town America. #A #T #Q #miserypit #agentguide

Amber Baird @amberbairdpdx.bsky.social · 2y ago

#Q #agentsguide KINSHIP, 84k, #A #CT w/ #LGBTQ rep. Megan’s reunion with her long lost brother is complicated when he kills his lover. Luckily, Megan’s prepared for this. Subversion of gothic tropes + send up of true crime culture. #miserypit

Amber Baird: KINSHIP, 84k word horror-thriller agent's guide. Subversion of gothic tropes, long-lost siblings, true crime podcast, prey, family secrets, psychedelic, unhinged queer female protagonist, generational trauma, predators, meat, bears, remote California location, dark humor.

KINSHIP blurb. Megan's already trying to avoid the heat for what happened to her girlfriend's husband back in San Francisco, and now she has to help her incompetent new brother clean up a murder he commits, because that's what family's for... probably. Now if she wants to get back to her lover in one piece, she'll have to navigate her brother's taboo affections and dodge multiple suspicious parties. So much for her quiet weekend away.

KINSHIP first lines. Driving all night across the state in a part of California no one vacations in, a part that still belongs to the animals, my eyes burn for sleep. Car flanked as it is by clear paths as far as I can see, would it be so bad to let my eyes drift closed for just a moment?

KINSHIP, for fans of: Maeve Fly by CJ Leeds (surrealism), My Sister the Serial KIller by Oyinkan Braithwaite (exploration of family), A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers (dark humor), Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild (female rage).

AFTERWORD x ALTERED CARBON Adoniram’s wife, Eve, is dying. His father hopes his mind-copying AI can save her but the connection grants the AI sapience and makes Adoniram the key to its control. He must choose between competing alliances, faith, and his love for Eve #2025Pit #A #SF

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT x THE GIRL FROM WIDOW HILLS Haunted by the serial killer she escaped twenty years ago, Minyoung will do anything to protect her hard-won life, even if that means confronting secrets that could destroy the few precious relationships in her life. #MiseryPit #A #Q #CT

Moodboard of nine images. From top left to bottom right: a body floating out of a sewer outfall; a scattered collection of photographs and a missing person sign; a large, jagged hole through a wooden structure, as if something crashed through; the back of a large truck, with the rear end reading "too many deaths, too much pain;" a woman's figure standing with her car, door open and glowing, during twilight; text reading "we are all museums of fear;" a painting of a person swinging a knife; a painting of a head with only one eye, and the eye is being placed on by another figure right behind them; dozens of hands crawling out of the water to a single high point.

REBECCA x RIVIERA x THE PERFECT COUPLE When a death is suspected a murder, a PR exec must decide how far she'll go to protect the people she loves. They all have a motive. Especially the man she loves. The dead woman's husband. Secrets🤫 Lies🧐 Slow❤️‍🔥 Obsession🖤 Betrayal🔪 Murder💀 #MiseryPit #Q #A #RM

Title says The Vibes - moodboard with the following photos - the Acropolis at night; a man in a villa swimming pool at night. A note saying 'I know what you did'; a couple kissing; a Mrs Danvers type silhouette parting fine, lace curtains. In the centre is a partial photo of a dead woman floating in water. Either side is a photo of a man standing at a desk, hanging his head; a couple's clasped hands; a lone man standing on a rock by the sea; a woman gazing up at a man, her arms round his neck. Last row has a woman screaming, her head thrown back; the silhouette of a woman in a party dress running; a smashed wine glass and broken phone; a car driving away on a deserted coastal road at night; and a couple embracing, the woman tearful.

Whale x Outlander A failed scholar-turned-florist is suddenly reborn as a noble in an alternate ancient East Asia. Having no romance nor accomplishments in his 1st life, he now seeks simple love & comfort despite familial obligations & a curse to harm loved ones. #A #WIP #Up #Spec #R #YouDeservepIt

This is a 2x3 moodboard. All pictures have lines that align together to help them flow more into each other and seem more connected. On the left are darker, warm-tinted modern scenes featuring a young man with his arms crossed in a field, a locked rusty door, and a street. On the right are lighter, cool-tinted ancient scenes featuring a young woman delicately embracing flowers, a closeup of a slightly ajar ancient paper door, and a traditional walled cityscape

Ninth House x The Shining 2 new employees arrive at an eerie hotel where things aren’t quite what they seem. Dreams turn to nightmares, costs become apparent, and something deep below draws them ever closer. Will they learn the truth before their debt is owed? #MiseryPit #FT #NA #WIP #Horror

A mood board of various dark hotel hallways and misty dark forests, overlaid with the words “The Good Shade Hotel”

A magical cat is swept into a hidden world of secret agents, underground cities, and strange allies, only to realize she must reclaim her power or watch her ruthless mentor destroy everything she loves. #YouDeservepIt #Q #MG #F

A suburban alley, a cat with silver eyes, a scraggly dog, a magical parrot, an angry owl, and a small mouse holding a letter. The text says, THE CAT WITH THE SILVER EYES; what if the rose bush in The Secret of NIMH led to a magical animal society hidden in plain sight?

CARNIVAL ROW x Se7eN In a post war gothic city, a detective and his partner go on the trail of a serial killer who murders black marketeers in search of illegal garlic for his Paleblood "cure". Should they stop him before he wipes out the population of ruling Palebloods? #MiseryPit #A #FM #Q

In a lake cabin, a botany student haunted by the whispering woods searches for the missing boy who vanished from his spring break kegger as a siren-like monster lures him and his friends into the water in this lush re-imagining of Morgan Le Fay with a dark twist. #miserypit #Q #YA #T

Angelique Russell - 💫@angie-r03.bsky.social · 2y ago

Celia Walters wakes up to find her roommate murdered and she's the prime suspect. Memory gaps, blackouts, and hidden identities blur the lines of truth as she fights to prove her innocence. No one can be trusted in this psychological thriller, especially not Celia. #MiseryPit #A #CT #WIP

A murder board with red string and evidence, broken glass forming a heart, a girl standing at a grave, crime scene tape across the road, the title "splinters of her", a girl with piercing eyes, writing that repeats "I can't remember", a psychology department and a sign that says "who is in control?"
