Red and tan collage of images, a moodboard with sewing items and red beads reminiscent of blood. A beaded torso with red wound on the chest, silver storm scissors, chipped black nail polish, patches that say they/them and DIY or die, a dress form with tattoo patches and top surgery scars.

With their attempts at coming out repeatedly thwarted and the attempts on their life getting more and more serious, Andy realizes they’re being stalked by their pre-transition doppelganger—and she won’t stop until she’s taken the life they thought they’d left behind.

Gothic mood board for a fiction novel featuring a skull, medieval Irish imagery, catholic symbolism, and gothic horror romance vibes. Text in the center reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 80,000 word gothic horror, SmoochPit 2025"

The Pitch: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s eternally young banshee, he hunts her down to learn who in his family is fated to die. In the struggle, his touch triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life as a servant of his household—and she demands to know more. They meet by moonlight searching for answers in the banshee’s memories, and Ciarán’s growing attraction sets him on a path of macabre desire. But as the devastating bubonic plague closes in, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his dying family or succumb to the seduction of the death-bringer.

HAMNET x NOSFERATU

The black sheep of a powerful 14th-century Irish family pursues a forbidden romance with the eternally young banshee who’s haunted his estate for generations, but as the bubonic plague closes in he must choose between the living and the dead.

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
