After returning to her family’s crumbling estate and finding the gardener dead, a reluctant heiress partners with his son to break a generational curse before it claims her too.

🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts
🔥 If the House Doesn’t Kill You, Love Might

#LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #PopUpPit #H #A #Gothic
Nineteen-year-old Lottie Bradbury is called home to her crumbling family estate with an ultimatum: marry or let the Bradbury name die. But in a post-war world where old traditions are crumbling and women are claiming new independence, Lottie refuses to be controlled. Her introduction is disrupted when the gardener is found dead, his skull shattered on the manor steps. His son, Arthur, warns Lottie that the house is hungry, that it killed his father—just as it did her mother a decade ago. And it’s not finished. Determined to seize control of her own fate, Lottie digs into the manor’s past, only to realize the house has other plans. Strange footsteps at night. Whispers slithering through the halls. Shadows shifting where none should be. Arthur insists the manor is alive, feeding on the sins of her ancestors, that her family is cursed. But he’s not the only one keeping secrets, and the deeper she digs, the harder it is to know who to trust. THE LAST HEIR OF BRADBURY MANOR is a slow-burn gothic horror set in 1919, blending the creeping dread of The Hacienda with the sentient menace of Starling House. A tale of inheritance, obsession, and a house that refuses to let go. The manuscript is complete at 96,000 words. Comps for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor: Starling House: Dark inheritance, Family secrets, Sentient house The Hacienda: Unresolved grief, Psychological unraveling, Supernatural dread Crimson Peak: Decaying grandeur, Gothic vibes A mood board for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor with... A decaying, messed up sitting room A spooky staincase with a girl walking A girl climbing out of a well A book on fire A cozy Edwardian dinner party A spooky gothic dinner party Text that reads: breaking the curse means losing him forever. Embracing it may damn her soul Tropes for The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor 🖤 Manor With a Mind 📖 Cryptic Diary 💀 Generational Blood Curse 🕯 Gaslight, Gatekeep, Ghosts 🏚 Slow-burn 🖋 Arranged? Meetcute?

Grim Portents

HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE

A man is murdered by a demon on his wedding day. With the help of the reaper who collected his soul, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell if he wants to return to the life he was robbed of

#luckypit #popuppit #popuppita #A #F #Hu #H
Cover for Grim Portents featuring a skeleton hand gripping a feather, emerging from a flaming book over a maze "I always told myself it wasn't real. It was a figment of my imagination, the mind playing tricks. It was just a shadow. But now the monster had been given a name, an identity. It was real." BILL BAKER WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO MARRY THE WOMAN HE LOVES, BUT WHEN HIS WEDDING IS INTERRUPTED BY A RAMPAGING HELL-BEAST, HIS LIFE IS THROWN INTO DISARRAY. DESPERATE FOR A SECOND CHANCE, HE WILL DO ANYTHING TO SET HIS FUTURE BACK ON TRACK. NOW, WITH THE HELP OF A SOUL-COLLECTING REAPER NAMED SONNY, HE MUST UNCOVER WHO IS RELEASING MONSTERS FROM HELL, IN ORDER TO EARN BACK THE LIFE THAT WAS STOLEN FROM HIM AND PREVENT THE ONCOMING END OF DAYS. FACED WITH THE CHOICE BETWEEN WHAT IS RIGHT, AND WHAT IS EASY, BILL MAY HAVE TO SACRIFICE ALL HE HOLDS DEAR FOR ONE LAST SHOT AT LIFE. Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.

A collage of spooky and moody images, such as shadows and ghosts and magical items and knives. It has two quotes which say “Sanguis eat vis vitae” and “Blood is the life force.”

Not a fan of winter at all, which admittedly is strange considering where I live, but it is certainly beautiful when outside looks like a farmland snowglobe.

So, in case anyone is looking for a fantastic fantasy series that is perfect to read during the wintertime lull, try the Winternight trilogy! Rich in folklore and immersive.

What was your reaction when you got your first full request?
I literally squealed, ran circles around my kitchen island, then called my sisters, repeatedly shouting, "I don't know how to be alive right now!"
What about you?

To my #amquerying friends who are receiving an influx of passes right now, just remember, those passes are not your forever. Just 1-2 weeks before I got my 1st agent offer I was wondering if I should pause my querying journey. Ride the waves. Don’t lose hope in your work 🫶 #writingcommunity
