Not sure if mine fits because it's more contemporary dark fantasy with strong horror elements but I'll drop my pitch. "Burdened by a childhood promise, an eldest daughter returns home to help her sister survive the deadly rituals of their family's magical cult."

Image is white text over a black background. It reads "all that glitters is not gold, charlie morgan" "Her mother always said the fae were dangerous, wicked things. But Eira had never seen a fae, and as far as she was aware, they only existed in bedtime stories. Tucked between thick pages and dried ink, the biggest threat they posed was heavy eyelids, hungry for sleep." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

image is text over a sparkly black background. it reads "code red, c. p. ashton" "Scarlet scowled at the objectively punchable face of Logan O’Connell—all twelve of them. The entire wall was lined with televisions, and Logan was on every single one as he prepared to hold an emergency press conference. She was far too hungover and not nearly caffeinated enough to deal with his bullshit this morning." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie. I write fantasy horror, always mixing magic and the grotesque. So what if a secret society of witches participated a series of trials to sacrifice their own to an ancient god in exchange for power and magic?

#QueerPit #A
THE HORRORS OF US is a genre bending fantasy with witches, violent and fast paced trials, and an FMC who just doesn’t give a damn.
#WIP #writing #horrorbook
Same!
My current draft is messiest first draft I’ve ever written. I think because it’s my 5th and I know it’s all on the chopping block and not permanent because I still gotta edit it.
A noble goal.
Anyone writing today?
What’s your goal?
#writing
Text over a bed reads “it cannot be compared to the gaping valleys carved into a heart whose only defect was wanting to be loved by her mother”
Set out to write a witchy horror novel dripping with blood. Ended up writing about the horrors of troubled mom + daughter relationships.

I may be open to swapping for an art commission. Do you have any samples of your work?
This is a call for #betareaders on my WIP! Looking for members of the #writingcommunity who would be available in November. Gaslamp fantasy, expected ~150k words. I can offer money, a read swap, or an art commission as payment.
Leave a comment or DM if you are interested!
I’ve self published two novellas and honestly these things still apply. I would just pick the path that speaks to you more and your goals 🖤
Every morning.
Then I shall watch for your inbox opens 🖤
I love Dragon Age 😭 thank you. Think I’m getting it!
Okay then this is my book. Horror on a fantasy backdrop.
Okay. So not dark fantasy. Horror with fantastical elements? Or fantasy horror? It is most definitely suppose to be leave a sense of dread and there is fore.
AHS 3 X Squid Games X Fall of House Usher
Quinn, a witch with questionable mental health, and history of unaliving people—is forced to participate in a series of archaic trials on the solar eclipse by her mother, Charlotte in exchange for help covering up the most recent murder scene.
What’s the difference between fantasy horror and dark fantasy?
Trying to figure out what genre my book is…
