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.

A cozy tale of folklore with fangs, fitting nicely on a shelf next to "The Once and Future Witches" & "Garden Spells".

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 disappearanceโ€”only to uncover a twisted, monstrous memory instead.

Itโ€™s hungry. Itโ€™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 Jonathanโ€™s heart and also to his death. Will Paige risk changing the past for a chance at love in the future?

A photo of a pair of light brown hands kneading dough. To the side is a pink rectangle framed with spider webs. Text reads Cupcakes and Graveyards.
โ€œIt has to be a curse,โ€ Surae decided as she stared at the rotted strawberries on the counter.
โ€œIt isn't natural,โ€ her grandmotherโ€™s ghost agreed. โ€œWhen I went up to wake you, they were still fresh and unblemished.โ€

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 personโ€™s soul by solidifying and removing their pain and suffering. Consuming the resultant โ€˜seedโ€™ confers malign immortality. In an age of unchecked technological development, is this an advance too far?
