I think I might need to start working on that SWIM WITH ME, DARLING sequel I’ve been thinking about.
In the mood to write more polyamorous sapphic mermaids devouring terrible people for some reason.

![Screenshot of a reddit post reading: AITA for predicting my aunt will die?
The other day I [M20] heard the banshee, meaning someone in my family will die, and obviously it's going to be my aunt. She's pretty sickly and I can't imagine any other option. But when I told my family, they called me a disgrace.
Naturally I tracked down the banshee and demanded answers, but she was totally useless and couldn't tell me shit, so I stole her comb. Sweet revenge. But I didn't anticipate that she'd try to get it back... and when I tried to get her out of my bedroom (hello, personal space???) I accidentally touched her and she had this weird seiuzure.
Now this creepy, undead (but lowkey hot) chick is insisting that "my touch brings her memories back" and "she craves more". I can't lie, I'm temped (just because I want to find out who'll actually die and prove my family wrong... no other reason). If my dickhead cousin finds out about this I'm totally screwed. AITA?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sm4geue6q4bq3pvcwjrjat5a/bafkreif2xopsuj5ial3pzb7c7lbjtehuigws5qjhhfhh6ze2ejykciejuq)

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, he triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life, and she demands he give her 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.
I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I’d heard her for years. It was an early summer’s day when we went to the lough. Niamh led us through the forest along the stream, babbling with a lightness that opposed her urgent pace. “This could be our best chance to see the merrow,” she said, her little voice all singsong. “Auntie said the veil is thin. They’ll be near and then we can speak!” “She also said we shouldn’t go this far,” I reproached her. Again about the merrow. She had been speaking of them for days, and insisted that Deaglán and I journey with her to the lough, where they lay beneath the surface. Finbar wasn’t supposed to come, but Aunt Eithne had made us watch him while she harvested yellow flowers on the hillside. He slowed us down, and Niamh’s frustration roiled off her like steam against the cool breeze. Though the land was ripe with life, winter still dragged a claw through the air. As we ventured deeper into the forest, a feeling of unease grew within me. A sound rang in my ears, so faint I could not tell if it was imagined or real. Because for weeks, it had haunted my dreams.

Torn paper with a graphic of praying hands holding a rosary. Text reads: The pitch: Ireland, 1348: 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.
For fans of: the yearning in the time of plague in Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell, the Catholic horror in The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas, and the death-crossed lovers in Nosferatu directed by Robert Eggers.
A spooky forest with a red outline of a skeletal deer overlayed on it. Large text reads: The first line: I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I'd heard her for years.

Mood board depicting a moody, gothic romance vibe, with a rural historical Ireland setting
Title: The Banshee of Clan Murtagh Body: Ireland, 1348 When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s banshee for the first time in a decade, he knows one of his own is fated to die. But they don’t believe his warnings--why would they? The last time Ciarán heard the banshee he didn’t tell a soul until after his cousin’s tragic death, and they’ve never trusted him since. Desperate for redemption in his family’s eyes, Ciarán hunts down the banshee in search of answers. She’s equal parts frightening and alluring, and in his struggle to confront her, he inadvertently triggers the banshee’s memories. Memories of when she was a servant of his household, generations ago, named Deirdre. Deirdre claims that Ciarán’s physical touch restores her memories, and demands more. He agrees to meet by moonlight in hope of learning whose death she foretold. With every encounter, Ciarán’s attraction to Deirdre grows, setting him on a path of macabre desire. When the devastating bubonic plague befalls the Murtagh household, and Deirdre’s memories reveal a dark scandal in the family’s history, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his family’s side in their final hours or embrace the seduction of the death-bringer.
Ciarán doesn’t want to be followed by death. He certainly doesn’t expect to fall in love with her. Pursuing a doomed romance with his family’s banshee in the face of plague, he must choose the pain of living or the seduction of the death-bringer.

Trope card for the book Hotel Fen by Meri Benson and Marie Sinadjan. "Tropes" listed: The Shining meets Norse mythology; meet-cute and star-crossed romance (there's even a song!); spooky remote hotel that won't let its guests leave; ancient prophecies and revenge quests; lots of wolves, and a diva black cat (she has a song too!)
Blurb for the book Hotel Fen by Meri Benson and Marie Sinadjan: Are you ready for the vacation of a lifetime? Victor has always had a passion for Norse history and mythology, but after hitting a dead end with his book on valkyries, not even that passion is enough to move him forward. Just when he's ready to abandon the project, he receives an email: he's won a free trip to Hotel Fen, a remote vintage resort in the Scandinavian Mountains. Silje has always felt that her life was fairly unremarkable. She cares deeply about people and that has led her to find her purpose at a nursing home in Oslo. When a resident dies and leaves her an all-expense paid vacation package to Hotel Fen, however, she takes the opportunity to experience something different. It all starts innocently enough, with a little meet-cute in the hotel elevator that takes forever to arrive on their floor. But the longer Victor and Silje remain together, the more dangerous the hotel becomes, and the more they question where reality ends and the impossible begins.
Congratulations! You've won an all-expense paid holiday to Hotel Fen, a luxury resort in the Scandinavian Mountains.
Only you don't remember entering a contest.
And now the hotel doesn't want you to leave.
Watch out for the wolves 🐺
