November at RED is all about cozy vibes, gratitude, and a little Danish magic. This week’s book club pick: “The Little Book of Hygge”—plus a butter candle (yes, really) and a cocktail that tastes like autumn in a glass.

The nursery rhyme The Farmer in the Dell haunts Emily—but the final verse, “the cheese stands alone,” is no rhyme. When her best friend’s illness turns terminal, Emily has days to uncover a truth that could destroy her marriage, child, & the life she’s built around saving Lacey. #posterpit #Q #A
A dark, eerie movie poster with a shadowy background of water, tree branches, and the faint outline of a woman’s face underwater. At the top, text reads: “By Tiffany Darling.” Centered text: “She’s dying. But that’s not the scariest part… The truth is so much darker.” Below, the book title appears: Everything I Gave Her. Subtext: “Now Querying #Q.” At the bottom: “A haunting spiral into the lies we tell for love. Psychological Suspense #T. Rated #A.”

I (16M) am furious at my sister for picking my ex-rival as her dance partner, especially now that I'll never dance again due to chronic pain. AITA for thinking Iain should eff off, even if he's kind of cute and nice and I can't stop thinking about him?

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.

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.
