The Locked Tomb Series Summary:
The “Lesbian Necromancers in Space” book series
The Murderbot Diaries Summary:
In a corporate-dominated space-faring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. For their own safety, exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists is conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid--a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, Murderbot wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is, but when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and Murderbot to get to the truth.

Rhysand & Feyre.
This one isn’t done yet, but I’m at a stopping point because I’ve taken care of Rhys. Feyre needs shading on her skin and clothes and the rest of her face finished up. Oh and here’s their hands, cause I need to work on hands and their shading.

Does anyone remember this book?
When I was in my early teens (the 90s), I found this THICK book in the local library. I remember it had a red cover, and a picture of a group of boys driving some kind of vehicle through what looked for all the world like the inside of a body. Like, the walls and floor of the tunnel looked like it was meat somehow.
What got my attention was that it was at least twice the thickness of any other book in the "teenager" section of the library. So naturally, I checked it out.
The book read like an acid trip.
It started with a boys' boarding school of some kind, an aboslute horror show of a crooked boarding school where the headmaster and teacher (I think they were a married couple?) were making kids disappear and stuff.
At some point, the entire group of about a dozen boys were forced into a vehicle with some supplies, and told that the headmaster had discovered a mystical tunnel of some kind and they were going to be sent down to explore it. This is where the other boys had been disappearing.
I remember I couldn't keep the names of the boys straight, and I wasn't sure that the author could either. Nor could the author decide whether he was writing in first person or third, it bounced around a bit.
But as the tunnel they were exploring went further and further down, the stone changed to something else, resembling the inside of a giant beast. They were hopelessly lost, and I think there was a question of whether or not they'd entered another dimension or had landed in Hell. Finally, the boys found a eutopian country called Lemuria (which apparently has some nasty connotations now) full of anthropomorphic animals who welcomed them.
Everything was perfect for the boys, but for some reason they decided to leave the eutopia and try to find their way back home. I remember that the trip was difficult, but they made it back to the protagonist's family. They then informed the protagonist's parents that after having gone through so much horror together (???), they were all brothers now.
So the protagonist's parents adopted ALL ELEVEN of the other boys, and instead of getting bedrooms they decided to live as they had before, camping together in the living room every night on bedrolls.
It was an absolute fever dream, and it made me very uncomfortable when I was a young teenager, but I could never work out exactly why. Looking back, I think there was some homoeroticism between the protagonist and a slightly older "bad boy" leader, but I could be wrong.
The thing is, I never found another copy of that book again. I can't remember the title, and nobody at the library remembers the book at all. I was the only person whose name was on the card in the front of the book, and I don't think anyone ever checked it out again.
Does anyone else have any ideas what this book might have been? I don't think it was set in the US, but it was definitely based in an English-speaking country. Maybe Australia?
