The opening to the Appalachian horror I’m currently querying agents with

Synopsis:
When Owen vanishes during a camping trip in the Appalachian Mountains, the world forgets he ever existed. Only his friends, Silas and Austin, remember him. They return to the wilderness, following forgotten trails through abandoned mining towns as ancient creatures emerge from the forest, each step drawing them closer to Owen—and closer to losing themselves.

Featuring:
• Appalachian mountains
• Missing person wiped from memory
• Strange creatures
• The mountains are alive
• M/M friends to lovers
• Explorations of grief, resilience, and regret

Release date: tbd

The algorithm says you’re my target audience.

I’m looking for readers who loved We Used to live Here and The September House and want a horror novel with a strong mental health and trauma focus, exploring the complexity of a human mind. And there’s a sentient house.

…was the algorithm correct?

Synopsis:
After years of therapy, twenty-year-old Skylar believes she’s finally escaped the trauma of her past, but when her nightmares return, her sense of reality begins to unravel. Strange visions lead her to a real, abandoned house in her new Midwestern town, a place tied to a gruesome legend of a surgeon who mútilãtêd his victims. As Skylar and her friends investigate, nightmares blur with reality, people díě, and she realizes she’s part of a horrifying psychological experiment linked to her own past. Skylar must uncover the truth behind the house before she loses everyone she loves.

Featuring:
• Sentient house
• Strong trauma and mental health focus
• M/M childhood friends to lovers
• Found family
• Dark serial k!ller legend
• Nightmares bleeding into reality
• Descent into madness

Release date: tbd
