CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × JUMANJI

When one of them is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—& ball-busting puns—to solve the crime before they're all butchered like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

Poster-style graphic with a black background and heavy red blood splatter. Large distressed white and red text reads “DAD BODIES.” A dagger runs horizontally through the letters, and a 20-sided die showing low numbers appears on the right. Along the bottom are black silhouettes of heads with X-shaped eyes. Beneath, smaller text reads “ROLL FOR FUCKERY,” and at the bottom: “A co(s)mic horror novel by B. van Bodegom.”

And without him, there is no me. - And how do I tell him I'd gladly crawl beneath his armor, inside his clothes and past his skin? Fight myself through sinews and bone, every ligament and essence that makes him him, and live on solely to keep his soul free of any pain? Caretaker of his soul for eternity. - A touch, as soft as a feather. The dull edges of fingernails. Deliberate and as exquisitely slow as molasses.

Scent him like a vampire would sweet blood.

WimpyKid X Goosebumps
Living in the shadow of his chaos-gremlin older brother, an 11yo finds his voice when a fart-powered, body-snatching witch kidnaps his Abuela & threatens to curse their town into oblivion. #QuestPit #Q #MG #F #SomethingWickedThisWaySmells #CinematicNotSilly
Mock-up book cover for The Curse of the Fart Witch by Rae Law. Tag line "Something Wicked This Way Smells". An evening street with lit up houses, green gas coiling upwards, there are a number of oversized alien-looking spiders (about the size of dogs - sentient barking spiders) throughout the image. Flags: Reluctant hero, sibling redemption, spooky humour (cinematic, not silly), kids vs supernatural threat, sentient minions, Goonies style ensemble cast. An excerpt from a sentient Barking Spider's journal - the spider is British gentry and pompously complains about the witch's promise of exquisite stink not being fulfilled and how the locals have spritzed him with a rosemary-mint abomination.

Soul In Two

And she won’t let the cursed 2nd Born Prince stand in her way.
