Aiden is too young to give up on her aspirations and settle for a simple work in her father’s deli shop. All her friends are in college, building their careers but she can’t afford that. Until a quirky but friggin’ handsome vampire challenges her convictions.

HAMNET x NOSFERATU

The black sheep of a powerful 14th-century Irish family pursues a forbidden romance with the banshee who's haunted his household for generations.

🖤 2025 SmoochPit Mentee
🖤 Bubonic plague
🖤 Catholic horror
🖤 Only one grave

#BluePit #BluePit📖 #A #Q #H #HS #D #Gothic
Photo of a creepy gothic forest with the outline of red skeletal hands reaching in. Text reads "An Agent's Guide to The Banshee of Clan Murtagh: a gothic love story. 80,000 words, adult horror, by Anna Hirsch." Torn paper with a graphic of praying hands holding a rosary. Text reads: The pitch: Ireland, 1348: 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. For fans of: the yearning in the time of plague in Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, the Catholic horror in The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas, and the death-crossed lovers in Nosferatu directed by Robert Eggers. A spooky forest with a red outline of a skeletal deer overlayed on it. Large text reads: The first line: I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I'd heard her for years.

GROUNDHOG DAY x THE GREEN KNIGHT x THE EVERLASTING

“You insist on tragedy even in the midst of your greatest season of joy. The mark of a certain kind of hero. Fortunately for you, my husband & I both seem to like that kind of thing in a man. It’s an absolute disease.”

a brightly coloured collage of medieval figures cut out from various public domain illustrations, overlaid on a black and white background photo showing "Gallos", a statue at Tintagel, with an obscured face. the overlaid figures, clockwise from top left: a mysterious hooded figure holding a hand to its mouth, in yellow; a beheaded knight astride a horse, holding aloft his own head - but as a bundle of greenery; a sorceress in a leaf-patterned shawl with her face obscured, in red; a man with obscured face in a tunic and breeches (in green) astride a sun-themed horse (in pink). in the middle there is a woman brushing her long dark hair, in blue, above the words "Sir Gawain the Son of XXX, King of XXX", where the Xs represent inkblots.

THE GREEN KNIGHT x THE EVERLASTING

Sir Gavin, a listless knight locked in a time loop by his oath to Camelot’s immortal court, has to break from his calcified morality—or witness the collapse of reality itself.

How? By being as bi as possible 🏳️‍🌈✨

Querying Feb 2026!

✨Did someone say preorder campaign??✨

With under a month and a half before the release of THIS WRETCHED BEAUTY, I’m excited to announce that everyone who submits their preorder receipts to the link below will get the following perks:
The graphic takes place atop a dark purple background with an abstract vine-like pattern that looks like a Victorian wallpaper. At the top of the graphic is the title "This Wretched Beauty” in a large, cursive white font, followed by “the pre-order campaign” beneath it in a smaller, italic font (still white). The middle of the graphic is covered by a burgundy bar which features the following text in a similar font as above: “Submit your pre-order receipt for: / Lost letters never sent between Dorian and Basil / The chance to win an annotated copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray.” Both the top corners of this bar are decorated with parchment clipart that, in two different handwriting fonts, show the words “My Dear Basil” (left) and “Dearest Dorian” (right). The bottom third of the graphic includes both the North American and UK covers of This Wretched Beauty, both surrounded by a delicate gold-coloured frame.
