Me: …excuse me?
Her: you’ve been working on your book for YEARS but when have you READ a book?

Cover art for Without Wings by Lilly Lockwood A purple and pink sunset with an angel statue descending from the top right corner Cover art by Lilly Lockwood

Without Wings is now available on itch!
voicesofvalhoon.itch.io/without-wings

Fall back in to the world of Val'hoon with the story of a fallen angel who struggles to find themself and community in the most unlikely of places. Themes of found family, healing from emotional trauma, and self discovery

Blurb by me, the author of THE FEALTY OF MONSTERS WOMAN OF SORROW AND BLOOD is an alluring romantic tragedy perfect for lovers of mean women, survival, and the price of kindness in a cruel world.

Description of the book WOMAN OF SORROW AND BLOOD by Dianna Gunn When 18-year-old Alma is invited to live with Nightfather and pursue the Pleasures of Power, she’s determined to win his affection and ultimate gift: eternal life. Yet life in the House of Night is not what she expected. Nightfather spends all of his time alone with Nightmother, leaving his second wife to rule with an iron fist. The servants brought from Alma’s home are hollowed out versions of their former selves. Others—including Alma’s own mentor—have disappeared entirely. Alma buries her suspicions and throws herself into attending to the Daughter of Night, an extraordinary woman who requires special care. When Nightfather calls upon Alma at last, she begins to see that his eternity is not a reward but a trap—and that it is not him, but the woman he calls his daughter, that her heart longs for. But tragedy lurks in every corner, and sometimes the only escape is death.

A muted moodboard with graphics of mushrooms, pomegranates, and teeth. Text: GODFLESH; a morbid pantheon | cannibalism | eroguro | hunger x decay. “Hunger is just want that’s grown teeth,” came the next crooning lilt, the next wave of fetid, romantic waft. The rot clung to Hunger’s lips and Decay could do nothing but stare. “Should I show you, sweet Cousin? Should I venerate you properly for a change?”

Bonus project for #sludgepit since I'm toying with this short story as well.

🍄 eroguro
🍄 vore
🍄 visceral pantheon
🍄 divine incest
🍄 the kind of cannibalism Vessel is actually singing about in all those Sleep Token songs

#wip #dr #h

YOOOO I’m ready 🙏🏽

vampire fightclub!!

A teal moodboard with the text: Philamaitos #sludgepit. Images of a darkly lit speakeasy, male hands holding a rosary, a spilled glass of wine, a male hand binding itself for boxing, a dark city street, and hands with brass knuckles clasped in bloody prayer. Text: “Me or them, Sammy. Who’s the lesser evil?” and “Something tells me it wouldn’t matter what I’d rather,” Sammy said, voice lemon-tart. “Something tells me you’ve come this way before.”

Philamaitos: #sludgepit The Premise: Sammy, the owner and operator of an underground speakeasy, is the illegitimate son of a prominent, AWOL Chicago mobster. The boss of the same family has died and he finds himself now embroiled in a power vacuum that threatens to destabilize the entire city. To make matters worse, he’s next in line to the Luminary eldership. Relying on James, a rogue Triarii who is more loyal to the task of maintaining his claim on his blood doll Sammy than his own organization, Sammy must keep his head above the subterfuge as the second-in-line to the eldership sets him in his sights and refuses to ignore the one obstacle in his path to the top. The Dynamic: Sammy wound his fingers around the dog tags and used them like a leash to close the meager distance between them. He hovered his lips a scant inch from James’ jaw. “There’s something to be said for your… initiative, James.” “Now I know that ain't a compliment.” “You sure about that?" James grimaced even as he allowed himself to be pulled closer, Sammy’s thigh slotting into place like a batter sliding home. “Coming from you? Almost definitely.”

Happy #sludgepit to those who celebrate. Currently working on PHILAMAITOS, book 3 in the #dverse, a vtm inspired dark vampire universe.
