Grim Portents

HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE

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.

See this fish? His name is Mustache. He can fly, he's the main character's pet, and he has absolutely NO relevance to the plot.

When your boss may be angling to fire you, the janitor says a god may be sniffing about the school, and the history teacher says the god was murdered a long time ago, but you just want to make sure your students pay attention in class.

The volcano's dormant, they said. The magic school's been there for years, they said. Just focus on teaching your classes. Don't worry about the smell of god magic, or that weird disappearing sand. The earthquakes are probably fine.

1984 X HOZIER X IN TIME

Health, wealth, & beauty in a single pill-if u can afford it. In future America, HealthCorp's lottery is May's best bet to escape poverty & win unrequited love. But w/ the CEO's son's offer to help steal meds, she not only risks his betrayal but her heart
#WSPitQ #A #SF 🌶️ #R
Looking back meme with May holding hands with her oblivious BFF and unrequited love but looking back at the CEO's disinherited son. Comps: future government corruption meets Hozier level pining. Book image of The Marriage Act by John Marrs and Chain Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah with a Hozier album. Themes: Spicy friends with benefits, American anger, power and control, facial and body dysmorphia, chronic illness rep, class divide and inequality, billionaire romance gone broke, social justice themes, and Healthcare corporate corruption. Nina Castle’s Take As Prescribed, a spicy adult dystopian, first page teaser: CHAPTER 1 Thoughts and prayers aren’t worth much, at least south of the Divide. It’s a sentiment the plastics use when they hear of things like our mortality rate or ever-increasing birth defects, but don’t be fooled. This is America where thinking’s outdated, and we pray to pills. In the north, they manufacture god in pharmaceutical bottles labeled “GeNew.” Not that anyone I know could ever afford it. Health, wealth, and beauty belong to the financially devout. To be fair, we all love money…it just doesn’t love us all back. Uncle David tells me food’s the problem as he peels away two breakfast cubes from their thin plastic wrapping. “It’s this damn processed shit makin’ us sick,” he says, smacking the pot harder than necessary on the single electric burner. Guess it’s boiled cube, today. “They price gouge us with poison, then try to sell us the cure. It’s all about money, May, mark my words. Those bastards at HealthCorp don’t give a damn about us unless we’re paddin’ their pockets.” I nod along as I always do when the injustice inside him spills out in the form of a rant. David’s from a time they remembered whole foods, even if what they ate was a mere semblance of the real thing. Perhaps in Europe and the Asias it still exists along with their muffled cries for human rights. As for me, I can’t be angry. Anger takes energy, of which I’ve little to spare. Like everyone this side of the Divide, I’m ugly with deformities. Weak with sickness. My broad shoulders hunch, and my spine curves to a hump at the base of my neck. My fragile hair litters our single room apartment like the black polyester threads from our tattered clothes. Like everyone, I am dying. Book cover for Nina Castle's Take as Prescribed. Woman with open mouth and pill on her tongue while a man's hand grips her neck.

#PopUpPitA #LuckyPit
moodboard black red white and gold motif images of a cemetery, mausoleum, rome, a 19th century gaslamp, a flaming rose, a wraith, a vampire, a man with silver hair, and a couple in an amorous embrace THE BLOOD OF A DIVINE is an adult historical fantasy novel that blends gothic horror & romance within a reimagining of the myth of Hades and the Underworld set against the backdrop of 1899 London, Paris, & Rome. After a long-anticipated family reunion goes terribly wrong, Ehren discovers he is truly the half-human son of the Lord of the Underworld, and he is tasked by his father to journey to Hell—where Ehren must kill his half-brother, Xavier, before the latter can unleash a demon apocalypse upon the earth. But Ehren can’t make it to Hell alone, so he enlists a crew of demon hunters to help him: Adrian, a woman who is the last of a legendary Spanish bloodline of vampire hunters; Brennan, an Irish ghost hunter; and Noralee, an American demonologist. Once assembled, the demon-hunting quartet embarks upon a thrilling international journey to search for a Gate to Hell, and Ehren entangles himself in a world of grim horrors and dazzling splendor as he clashes with demons and falls into a fiery, spellbinding romance with Adrian—the strong, vicious, and beautiful vampire hunter who can't afford to love anyone. While this journey to Hell brings Ehren closer to finding the family he is meant to be with...in the end, will he have the resolve to spill the blood of his own brother? Or will Ehren's compassionate heart prevent him from doing so—and cost him everything and everyone he holds dear?
