WATTYS 2021 WINNER - PARANORMAL Olivia Porter is well acquainted with death- or so she thought. With the passing of her only friend, she's given more than she bargained for when the estranged and mysterious Lee Noble enters her life. Lee brings with him more than his bad attitude and mysterious past. He's Olivia's gateway to a dark and terrifying underworld she never knew existed. The Edifice; a dimension parallel to their own, separated for a very good reason. It's a world of magic, where warlocks, fiends and monsters walk the streets in strained coexistence. Stranded in a foreign land at the mercy of its citizens, Olivia has no choice but to accept the help of Otis- a deity masquerading as a fickle young man. With seven days to escape the consequences of the deity's contract, Olivia's humanity is on a perilous countdown. Otis promises her the world if she can hold out- while Lee will sacrifice anything to see her gone. Because Otis's gift to her is worth dying for... and all of the Edifice knows it. - cover by @newsies- ~90,000 Words Mature and Horror Themes CONTENT WARNINGS for death, family trauma, adult language, kidnap, coercion, drug and alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation, mental illness, graphic violence and references to racism and homophobia..

500 years had passed and Mathilda still didn't know why she was alive. There were only two aspects of Mathilda's immortal life that had been constant. Being immortal meant that people kept trying to kill you. The other aspect felt much more dangerous. Being immortal meant that she was eternally stuck with whomever shared her affliction, which exclusively happened to be her siblings. 3 brothers. 2 sisters. One eternal search for the root of their problem. After centuries of unsuccessful searches and family fights, the siblings realize that one piece of the puzzle had always been missing.

Brian Walker, the IT guy at a small government contractor, has two problems. First, he hasn't had his morning coffee, and second, a strange voice in his head claims an alien invasion is underway. Solving the least pressing of the two should be pretty simple, but that leaves the coffee issue to deal with! Still, what if that voice is telling the truth? Brian's lunch buddy, Dale, thinks so-but then, he also thinks the government has been putting mind control drugs in the water supply. After deciding to trust the voice in his head, all he needs is a first-rate team to face off against the aliens. He ends up with a Princess Bride fanatic (with eyes for him), a conspiracy theorist, and a cosplayer. Follow Brian and his ill-equipped band of office workers, as they try to save the world from well-meaning aliens that have finally lost patience waiting for the human race to kill itself off.
