Sometimes when looking for a reference, you find one and go "yes, this is perfect for this totally different thing" and then your hands possess you and suddenly it's drawn.
Seth and Trent together from my angel horror novella! I'll be talking more about this project soon and I cannot wait, but for now, have this as a little teaser!
HOUSEKEEPER - A new Psycho/Cosmic Horror novel by Darby Machin
This is not her house. These are not her rules.
When recently divorced Margot takes a position as housekeeper at the House on Lakeview Drive, she's desperate for stability and a fresh start. The salary is generous, the work familiar, and the house itself seems perfectly ordinary. But from the moment she steps in the door, something feels wrong. Distances between rooms shift overnight. Doors appear and disappear without explanation. The red light that pulses on the other side of her bedroom door at 1 AM brings with it sounds of grinding metal and shifting flesh. And her fellow staff members seem determined to act like nothing’s wrong. As her questions pile up, and the bodies begin to drop, Margot becomes determined to uncover the truth behind the House on Lakeview Drive. But there are dangers in its halls, in its carousel of strange rooms, behind the unending peach wallpaper. Margot has to be smart if she wants to out-think the house, but her investigation won't go unnoticed for long. Someone, or something, is watching her every move. A haunting, literary exploration of identity, memory, and resistance, HOUSEKEEPER combines psychological dread with cosmic horror to create a disturbing vision of what might lurk behind the façade of domesticity.

Storeys - a solo horror TTRPG
Storeys, the second game from Done, Not Perfect, a queer, neurodivergent owned and run TTRPG production copany, is now funding on Kickstarter!
Move in. Unveil the rot. Save yourself.
This apartment building was supposed to be a fresh start. A perfect new home. You moved in with a feeling of hope. A wish for comfort and new experiences. But something is wrong with this place. You started noticing it recently. Experiences you cannot explain. Feelings you cannot shake. Before long, your fresh start is beginning to feel like a dead end.
There's something hiding in the building, something that seethes, and hunts. A corrupting evil that drags its claws down the walls, and bleeds in dark corners. You don't have long to uncover what corrupts the heart of this place. Now that it knows you're looking, it's searching for you too. Whatever it is, you may be the only hope this place and it's residents have. How many live, and how many die, is up to you. Storeys; build your fate, brick by brick.
Please, check it out, and support independant, LGBTQIA+ games, that put inclusion and accessibility at the forefront of design. Much love! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/donenotperfect/storeys

Storeys is now LIVE! Please share the news with your solo TTRPG loving friends, and check it out if you feel so inclined. Much love 🧡 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/donenotperfect/storeys
Hungry
She returns to the wood a stranger, and is stranger for her returning. She knew it once, perhaps as you did, as a place of childhood explorations. Sticks as swords and hollowed logs as castles and caves. Stolen moments between the cruelly structured expectations of children. There is no structure expected of her now.
Perhaps she knew it as some others have, as a breeding ground of adolescent fervor. Stolen kisses against rough bark. Seconds of passion in mulch and bracken. Cool winds and dew on bare flesh, heated from within by roiling desire. Now she is here alone.
Perhaps, in some ways, she once knew it as all of us did, as the girl who braved the path to grandmother’s house. Her cloak of red and her basket of treats. Axes and blood, and fur and fury and eyes too large for their bonetted faces. Upon her return, there is no whimsy, harsh or softened, in the wood.
However she once knew it, the wood had become lost to her. Years spent in cities of stone and shelter had weakened her to the wild. Turned her heart to obedience and structure. Where once the wood was an escape from drudgery, it now holds things too terrifying and repulsive to ignore. The air is different. The very quality of it. Sulphuric yellow light filtered through mist and trees, bark split like a thousand dead eyes. The rot beneath the loam and fall of leaves is bitter in her nose and in her gullet and all around her insects feed and die, and feed and die, in cycles unseen but felt.
Her shoes are the first things to be discarded, scuffed and plush and produced en masse by people she had and would never give a thought to. Small black vestiges of a life she will no longer lead but still, in some adherence to a civiliity she is fighting against, she removes and places them neatly at the base of a tree and steps further into the wood’s embrace.
The floor of the wood, laden with leaves, is home to a thousand corpses. Carcasses of mammal and bird, rotten to bone and meat, no longer acceptable as anything worthy of consideration to beauty. As she walks, she feels the decay swell and press between her toes and beneath painted nails, and she is revulsed, as perhaps you would be, thinking of the rot and its proximity to her flesh. But she does not stop. She continues on, one foot ahead of the other, and wills herself to become accustomed to the disgust.
As she travels, her world decays around her. Appointments, and expectations. Lovers, and friends, and bosses, and institutions, and a million tiny, complicated worlds that intersect and overlap her own tiny, complicated world are snuffed out in quiet apocalypses as she leaves them behind, knowing she will never return. As they die, she feels emboldened. Fingers, red at the tips, pull at her blouse and bra, and unbutton her jeans and slough off the dead skin of her dead life. The thousand eyes of the wood watch on, uninterested in her nudity.
She is laughing now, returning to the wild. A wicked sound that stretches on into a cry, the last shout of civility leaving her as her body curls forward and her fingers claw at dirt and carrion. She’s moving fast. Faster than you can follow, now. She returns to the wild, where once all came from. It calls to her and she revels in it, tearing away her own humanity in strips against rock and bark and branch, to reveal a hunger.
Yes, a hunger. Simple, and perfect in its simplicity, she hungers in the wood. Her polished teeth ache for flesh, and soon, she will feed.
