Image: A man in a black cloak and a wide brim western style black hat, holding a revolver; only his eyes as yellow pinpricks are visible. Text: A Novel By Kelton Davis Blood from Stone 112000 Words Adult Gothic Western Fantasy Querying Now Art: Apocalypse by Oliver Odmark Title: Pitch Text: In the twenty years since the vampires rose up out of the earth, Corado hasn’t done too bad for himself. He’s still alive, for one, and he’s got a lucrative trade as a nightrunner smuggling people beneath the vampiric horde that blots out the sky each night. It's dangerous work, but enough to get a roof over his head and a bottle in his hand at the end of the day. That’s pretty good for life under the vampires. Then an attack from the horde leaves him stuck in the desert, alone with a newly-orphaned boy, and his luck finally dries up. He resolves to find what remains of the boy’s family and put it all behind him—but instead of taking him off Corado’s hands, his so-called “family” offers a new deal: escort them to the vampiric capital in exchange for a veritable fortune. Corado knows he shouldn’t. It’s a long, dangerous route, and the group has a smack of sedition to them that he knows firsthand to be a quick way to a bloody death. It is a hell of a lot of money, though. Background image: same as first slide. Title: Comparable Titles Images of the covers of The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, Godkiller by Hannah Kaner, and Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian. Text drawn with an arrow from each image: Found family (from the Devils) Reluctant parent figure (from Godkiller) Western-inspire Gothic setting (from Red Rabbit) Unlikely travel companions (from all). Background image: same as first slide.

Eva-core:
A mood board with a brown parchment top section bearing the text: "Reapers crept into everyone’s lore, sometimes taking the Black Plague’s macabre form and other times the shape of animals. They were male or female or neither. Death was a dog, a screaming spirit, a saint. Reapers completed a necessary task, were a necessary evil, and that’s what Eva thought this was: a necessary evil which might save both Archer and her. 'May rest come easy.'" Photographs below the excerpt include an image of black boots and the bottom of a long coat as someone walks on a rain soaked street, an old illustration of a skeleton and a fair woman to signify death and the grim reaper, a collection of human skulls, the black cat Binx from Hocus Pocus, Nancy from The Craft holding a dagger up to the sky, and a figure in a black hooded cloak silhouetted by a cathedral style window.

hi, im sabeen. i write upmarket & fantasy fiction driven by rich characters and messy family dynamics. my writing may often be fantasy but it is always reflective of the world around us. if you love the depth of RF Kuang and the character dynamics of Ann Patchett - you'll love my writing!
