Beta Read call for The Possession of Joshua Roe!

The Possession of Joshua Roe is a 40k-word long lgbt horror novel. The first in a series, I'm looking to get between 5-10 sets of eyes on this draft. It's pretty solid and I'm hoping to only do one more round of edits before I start in on the copyedit portion!

Summary: One year ago, Eve and Leah Roe went missing and everything changed. Their older brother, Joshua, lost himself in grief. When he decided that pranking his friends with a spirit board was the solution to breaking that cycle of nothingness, Nole, best friend with a longtime crush, jumped in agreement.

Unfortunately, they aren't just playing a game. They're opening doors. And something has come through.

Just like when Eve and Leah died, their friends scatter and Nole finds himself the only one left to pick up the pieces.

This time, the pieces are bloody.

Sign up here!

Glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose, he shoves a hand under the couch, fingers groping for the planchette. Fingers bump against something hot and solid and – something grabs his hand. Nole screams, trying to back pedal, but it clings to him, holds onto him, doesn’t let him go. Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me, that’s what the hold is saying. Don’t leave me and I’ll never let you go.

I'm being so normal about this possession horror novel can you tell. this is just a totally normal one. there's nothing unhinged about the way Nole is handling or looking at or dealing with his possessed friend. it's totally normal to apply this line of thinking to the hands that are trying to pull you under the couch right. normal.

Oops! Looks like that prank went wrong! Looks like the spirit board opened up the gates and summoned a real demon into their midst! Looks like everyone is in for a really, really bad time!

Oops!

“Does that mean the deer are possessed?” Nole asks, not sure if he’s more baffled or terrified by the notion. He doesn’t understand how this night got so out of hand but he wishes that it could get back in hand, at least in part. Preferably soon.

It will not : )

Glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose, he shoves a hand under the couch, fingers groping for the planchette. Fingers bump against something hot and solid and – something grabs his hand. Nole screams, trying to back pedal, but it clings to him, holds onto him, doesn’t let him go. Don’t leave me, don’t leave me, don’t leave me, that’s what the hold is saying. Don’t leave me and I’ll never let you go. Maggie grabs the back of his shoulders and heaves, but it doesn’t do anything. The fingers curl impossibly tight around his wrist, nails biting against it, little sharp crescents. “I can’t get it off,” Nole shouts, bracing his free hand against the edge of the couch and trying to push. It doesn’t work. His shoulder is starting to ache, his elbow, the tendons protesting how hard he’s being pulled. It’s like whatever has him is trying to bring him in, under, and it’s not Josh but somehow all of this is Josh and tears roll down the curves of Nole’s cheeks.

The Possession of Joshua Roe is just so much fun T.T

For me. Not so much for Nole. He's having a very bad time!

“Are you friendly?” “Why would you ask that?” Maggie hisses. “Cause it said we don’t know who it is. Seems like pertinent information to know.” The planchette creeps to the other corner of the board. YES. “See?” Josh says. “It’s all good.” Maggie leans forward and, voice shaking, demands, “Are you lying?” The planchette jerks to the center of the board and stays still. Josh laughs. “Okay, that one is a little weird.”

spooky : )

Opening lines for The Possession of Joshua Roe : )

Okay. Everyone knows the rules, right?” Joshua Roe shakes out his hands and places the tips of his long fingers on the edge of the board. His nails have a thin layer of clear glitter gloss on them from whatever mini-party he had with their friend, Jess Riley, earlier in the night. She’s still upstairs watching a movie with her boyfriend. As it turned out, playing ghost-games in the basement wasn’t really what the lovebirds considered a good time.

I'm so excited to be doing the last round of developmental edits before starting on copy!

Nole and Joshua have been best friends for ages. They've been through everything together. And now, they have to find where the line is.

Joshua is possessed by a demon and everyone else is ready to bail ship. Nole's determined to stick it out to the end.

The question is: will either of them be alive for the next chapter?

And even more haunting: will this story really end with them?

Josh slides his hands off of the planchette, so they rest on the very edge of the wooden board instead. The little triangle of wood snaps over the letters on its own. A-L-R-E-A-D-Y-W-O-N.

top ten things you don't want to have happen when you're playing with a spirit board : )

It’s almost dawn by the time the priest comes marching up the long path towards the lodge. Nole knows because he and Maggie have been standing at the front window for the last two hours watching a whole herd of deer walk out of the woods and gather in the front lawn.

short excerpt from The Possession of Joshua Roe? I just think they're so funny in this.

Red spills from the faucet. Maggie gasps, “is that blood?”

“I don’t think so,” breathes Cynthia. She braces her hands on the outside of the sink, leaning forward. “It’s too thin for that.”

“It’s wine,” says Nole, stepping over to them. He snatches a bottle from the back of the counter on the way over, popping the already-loose cork out of the bottle and splashing some of it into the sink. It comes out the same shade and color as the water from the faucet.

Cynthia says, “tell me Josh installed some sort of super weird, crazy expensive wine sink.”

“Definitely not,” says Nole. “He’s a tequila guy. The wine’s just left over from, uh, Cynthia. Last year.”

“This is a bible thing,” says Cade, accusingly. “Right?”

Maggie agrees, “pretty sure bible school said Jesus did that.”

“Well Josh isn’t being possessed by Jesus.” Cynthia shuts off the water. “And Cade needs his arm taken care of. It’s still bleeding. I’m going to get my purse and then we should go.”
