JASAD HEIR/ONE DARK WINDOW
There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret? #PosterPit #Q #F #A
A movie poster for 'The Breath of Silence'. The title is printed over the top of a watery sun which puts a mountain, a floating sky city and a dragon in silhouette. Below there is a dark green forest. The sky is a sunset but stormy and red. At the top there are three sets of laurel brackets with "Shortlisted Future Worlds Prize 2023", "Shortlisted RevPit 2025" and "Longlisted Write Mentor 2025". Next there are two billing lines saying 'A secretive warrior' and 'a damaged smuggler'. The tropes are listed like supporting cast: Found family Repressed magic Tigers & dragons Slow burn Sorcerors & shapeshifters Enemies to friends Next, beneath the main imagery, at the bottom, it says "An Epic Fantasy". In the review section with 5 gold stars it says "worldbuilding is rich... wanted more" - Judges Feedback. The final line says "Coming to an inbox soon."

JASAD HEIR/THE LAST VIGILANT
If anyone finds out she’s a changeling they'll 💀 her. Finding a powerful relic could free her people from oppression & she’ll do everything to keep it. But failure to unearth its secrets will mean her death & the loss of all magic forever. #PosterPit #F #Q #A
Movie poster with a dramatic stormy sky, in black, purple and cornflower blue tones. A photo of James Cosmo in Shogun, holding a pistol, and a photo of Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie in Thor Ragnorok, are overlaid, side by side but back to back. the logline "There's a reason magic was silenced." Underneath there are three short sentences of text: "His last smuggling job." "Her last chance for freedom." "Magic must survive." The title appears in the centre: "The Breath of Silence - an adult epic fantasy." On either side of the title, like billed names are the following tropes: - magical prejudice - revolution and revenge - romantic subplots - action and atmosphere At the bottom there are three sets of laurel brackets with "Shortlisted Future Worlds Prize 2023", "Shortlisted RevPit 2025" and "Longlisted Write Mentor 2025".

A spoof movie poster for the MS 'Dazed and Uprooted' (a YA contemporary fantasy about finding what you love). Three banners depict the main characters. Descriptors above them read 'Spreadsheet brain demi sexual' 'chaos brain bisexual' 'curious tree spirit.' Underneath, are compliments for the book framed by movie award laurels.

introducing my NA queer gothic horrormance wip:

🥀teaching the wrong student dark magic
🥀starting a cult to get attention from your favourite teacher
🥀angel summoning is an OCD metaphor

#PosterPit #W #NA #H #R
dark poster with art by @nelsnote of a man looking up holding a bloody book, the light on him is coming from an angel wing and there are eyes in the dark behind him. he has an awestruck expression. there is a quote at the top right “I need to eat the fruits they are too tempting and beautiful” from my favourite author. the title “forbidden fruits” is in gold cursive. underneath, NA gothic horrormance is written. alongside the drawing, on either side, the words “angel summoning as dark magic”, “corruption arc”, “violent longing has consequences”, “he’s not dead until I say so”, “Victorian secret societies”, “epistolary dual timelines”. underneath, EVOCATION x THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE. underneath the following pitch : ‪“WHY DO YOU NEED AN ANGEL? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. Simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. ‬ years later, after an accident, Peter’s teacher is graciously caring for him, but Peter wants more than their fledgling friendship. rifling through his teacher’s letters, he discovers another student’s old obsession with the man they both love, and resolves to use this knowledge to get closer to him. He won’t stop until he has him—and the angels come to call.” Underneath, “coming to beta readers this autumn”.

Yeah, vampires aren’t what or who you think they are.

Det Karis has solved a murder in her fiancé’s small town. But he’s sabotaging her case, and a seductive local is trying to suede her beliefs in the supernatural.

Now she must choose: ‘justice’ or truth.

White text on an orange background: An homage to the 90's romcom with a trans twist: Collin, a trans guy who was recently dumped by his girlfriend, makes a bet with his friend that he can nab a date with the hot new barista who works across the street. Bordering the text are drawings of a trans flag, a smoothie blender, a college building, and a coffee cup. A white text box on top of an orange background. The text is a quote from Alice_writes106. It reads: "Wow! I absolutely loved this book!! It was so sweet--with the perfect balance between thoughtful insight, character development, setting, emotion, and plot!! The characters were dimensional and had amazing personalities and I was really transported. I also feel that I can kind of understand trans perspectives a little better and I'm glad you're calling light to these things. Absolutely wonderful read, thank you so much for this creation!!
