Look at those sprayed edges! Waterstones editions are always so pretty 😍

A album cover mock up that have three women's silhouettes dancing in a field. It says The West End - Anthology of the Woods and has album stickers on it.

The back of an album cover with the title "Anthology of the Woods" followed by 5 songs - White Anemone, Burn Hole, Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, I Only Asked for Help, and The Pearl. Then it has the book's hook: A Nashville rock band believes their luck has turned around when they meet a sisterhood of magical women who seem to turn their voices to honey and their fame to lightning, but unfortunately for them, one of those sisters, Brigid, is on a mission of revenge against man-made magic such as fame and they have just become her last straw.

As someone who’s just started querying, this kind of support has made my day 🥹

Came to the comments to say exactly what Anna did - it’s giving Dorian Gray vibes!

aesthetic for the memory garden featuring images of florals, statues, and women

Elodie, born with rare memory magic, shows historian Vivian around a botanical garden in hopes of solving a century-old disappearance—only to uncover a twisted, monstrous memory instead.

It’s hungry. It’s angry. It wants Elodie.

1915 imprinted in metal, old-fashioned cursive writing, modern woman sitting, historical house, garden roses, man in three-piece suit, old stone archway, old watch with roman numerals.

After Paige is thrown back in time to 1915, she meets Jonathan, whose portrait hangs in her office and who will die in 1916. Each trip back brings her closer to Jonathan’s heart and also to his death. Will Paige risk changing the past for a chance at love in the future?

Text reads Cupcakes and Graveyards. “It has to be a curse,” Surae decided as she stared at the rotted strawberries on the counter. “It isn't natural,” her grandmother’s ghost agreed. “When I went up to wake you, they were still fresh and unblemished.” Coming Autumn 2025

STARLING HOUSE x WAYWARD CHILDREN

Historian Vivian meets Elodie, a memory keeper who can free the past from plants, to investigate a century-old disappearance. They find more than expected: a monstrous memory, and an inescapable connection.

1800s London. Alchemists can extract a person’s soul by solidifying and removing their pain and suffering. Consuming the resultant ‘seed’ confers malign immortality. In an age of unchecked technological development, is this an advance too far?

Honestly sold from the comps alone. This sounds amazing!
