BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

#GhostPit #A #DS #SF #W
Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

In the hills of West Virginia, Elizabeth hopes to find peace, family, and a story worth telling.

What she finds instead is a cruel land, a wounded bloodline, and a creature who promises both salvation and ruin.

"Dropshipped", the pend'g release from @sandersjacob.bsky.social is a totally wacky & utterly creepy look at on-line ordering gone wrong! Seriously, who ordered the apocalyptic monsters, hm?

Launching on July 15th, be there or be a square package full of terror!

Hi! My creature feature about online shopping is available for preorder now! 📦 Something I like about this book is that it’s silly, but it’s also about love, friendship, and growing as a person (and as a monster!). It’s my best work yet! You can find it online wherever books are sold 🙂
A mock up of a phone featuring the sales page for Dropshipped by Stephanie Sanders-Jacob on Bookshop.org. It’s surrounded by words that describe the book: “an unlikely duo,” “satirical,” “creature feature,” “kinda yucky,” and “apocalyptic.”

Losing my mind and reading the word “pirates” as if it rhymes with “Pilates.” Maybe it’s a seafaring workout program? Idk. 🏴‍☠️

No real thoughts… just weird-ass vibes. I wanted to share these stills from the lost silent film One Glorious Day (1922). I really like that bug-eyed thing. He’s cute.
