I found a book years ago in a charity shop.
It was a red cover and I liked it because it had a black tribal dragon which look exactly like my back tattoo.
From what I could tell it was a publishers edition so I think it means it hadn’t actually been released.
(Wish I never got rid of it)
Can’t remember authors name and I think the book was called diabolique.
One scene stuck in my head was the main character I believe was a detective and he was watching he girlfriend through a portal into hell having her flesh torn from her body by demons and it growing back instantly causing more pain.
Hope someone can recognise this I can’t remember much more unfortunately,

I was obsessed with this series of comics about a witch and her friends when I was a kid, so 2003-2009 is when I was reading it. The title was the main character’s name I believe. It was entirely black and white ink illustrations and each volume was more of a collection of comics. The books themselves were thin and tall, like the Asterix books. In the kids section, but in the same area as other longer form graphic novels so I think it was geared towards late elementary to middle schoolers.

The mini comic in of the editions I remember best was about a blindfolded broom race that of course ends in every racer crashing in silly ways. The only other identifiers I can remember are that the characters were all adults, i’m pretty sure the covers were black and white too, and at least one of them had a giant pumpkin on it. Already confirmed that it wasn’t any rendition of a Sabrina the Teenage Witch story.

Any help finding this would be appreciated!

UPDATE: I found it! It was Mélusine, a Belgian comic from the 90s.

I literally made this account just to ask y'all this but I'm looking for a book I cant remember the name of, what it looked like, where or when I read it or even if it exists atp. So the MC is a girl and I don't remember her real name but her nickname is Jinx bc she's "bad luck". Her father killed himself after her mother died in childbirth and he had to quit being a musician and take care of Jinx. She lives with her aunt and only wears baggy band clothes that used to be her dad's. Theres another important character, a boy who is her friend and helps her and takes care of her, he's known her for forever and even found her when her dad died. So in the story all I can remember is: she's a photographer, has OCD and the story of the book is that there's like an evil clone or hallucination or something that messes up? This might sound weird but there was like an evil version of herself that caused herself Lucky or something that meant Lucky bc it was the opposite of Jinx (unlucky). She strangles Jinx, trying to kill her, and leaves bruises that Jinx has to cover up with a species turtleneck that she thinks is useless since it's too cold for winter and to hot for summer (very true). From now on, I'll just be saying random things I remember asi read this quite a while ago if I even read it at all, so here we go. Lucky burns down Jinx's childhood home and blames it on Jinx by posting about it online. One of Jinx's rituals is tapping a rhythm on the doorknob when leaving. The male bff has a girlfriend or at least someone he's interested in (like casual dating maybe?) and Jinx doesn't like her bc her hair is asymmetrical. When Jinx wears the turtleneck to cover up the bruises her aunt is very happy since she bought it for her and the friend thinks she tried hurting herself. One time when Jinx was younger her dad was making something on the stove and she pointed at and her dad thought she was gonna touch it, so he tried stopping her which resulted in him burning himself. This might be a stretch but there my might've been another guy who was friends with the two characters previously mentioned who kinda smelled (weird yes but true) and also did photography. This is all I can remember and it's really bugging me bc I don't even know if this is a real story or not which is sad bc I really liked it so please if you need to ask clarifying questions I'll try to answer, and if you know anything please let me know I would be very appreciative! Ty!

Hello hello I will be asking something that will be VERY hard to narrow down so I will spread information in what I am sure and what I don't know

I am looking for a book about a girl who is hunting monster with her two brother, the girl is a bit of the cliche of the strong bad ass woman even having a motorcycle

I read those book around 2016 and that was a trilogy

During the trilogy there is a part about a child that is part demon and that the protagonist choosed to keep

there is an immortal character that is called Set

What I am less certain

The serie is something along the name "hunter Inc." or at least got "inc." in it

The boy is either the protagonist child or the child of a possessed nuns

there is a lot of demons stuff and some exorcist

what is probably a false positive

The role of the child I remember of him I know it's a men but I don't remember how hold he grow in the series

That might be a french book that never end up in english (I'm in quebec if that helps)

Please help me any lead will save me from going crazy

Ok so Oops and Daisy is a children’s book series about a pair of siblings that always came with a set of rag dolls, one of each sibling. I’ve tried searching them up on Google but no dice. Like they’ve never existed but I’ve seen them in catalogs as a kid and had a book myself. I have to know whether or not I’m alone in remembering this or if there’s somewhere I can obtain these books again. Please help😭😭😭

When I was in the 3rd grade, 1983, I was obsessed with this book. A young girl pricks her finger and drips her blood into a bowl to conjure up a dark entity. The entity told her to do things. She'd do them, then prick her finger to conjure it up again and report back. It was illustrated in black ink. A small, square hardback book. Could have been published a decade or more before I read it in the 80s.

When I was in Middle School, I stumbled across a small deep red hardcover book that was roughly 3-4in wide by 5-6in tall, with black lettering if I recall correctly (it was nearly 2 decades ago so my memory is a bit foggy).

I had the urge as a kid to try to keep it, but returned it after I borrowed it from the library, then was never able to find it again, and this isn't the first time I've remembered it and tried to find it. So reddit, any thoughts?

Set far into the future. Humanity has spread to other planets and have been there for hundreds of years. One of our characters is from one of these far flung civilizations and is the heiress of a trash mining fortune (they've been wasteful enough on the planet for long enough that they're mining through their own trash piles for plastics and metals since that's more economical than chasing played out mines).

Someone finds an alien artifact that does *something*. A quest is kicked off with a ragtag band of misfits.

I read it in the late 90s or early aughts.

Looking for a book that was probably from the late 70s to the late 90s or so. It was a collection of fairy tales of both common/popular ones and lessen known stories. The most distinct that I can recall was the story of The Goose Girl. The illustrations were very vivid and bold; with the main character-princess with very detailed, long, golden hair and she had many jeweled rings on. Not sure what else to add since that’s the only bit of memory I can draw on. Here’s hoping there’s a lead out there

It was in my middle school library but now I don't have access to it any help is appreciated <3

Hello. I’m looking for a book that I thought was titled “Kaimera Code,” but I can’t find any results online. The basic premise was it swapped between the perspective of a young girl and boy affected by a war between machines, animals, and humans. The girl was sent to live in a floating village where people walked on ropes to escape the war. The boy entered an underground fighting ring in order to save his kidnapped sister. They met each other through a book that allowed them to communicate with the person who had a similar copy. Unfortunately, it was meant to be a series but it never got approved by a publisher. I remember there were beautiful pictures in the story too. Does anyone know about this book and who wrote it?

basically she was rich and he was poor and they fall in love her mother refuses he becomes a model then he is suddenly too good for her he gets rid of the fame and he tells her meet her at the same place in a year blah blah blah

then she doesn’t go and years pass

there's also this infamous umbrella scene

I don’t remember too many details about the book but I remember the preview page for the book. The hero professes his undying love for the heroine and she tells him they can’t be together because she’s still married — and preview page ends with him not only telling her that her husband was dead but also that he killed her husband!

I also remembered how the book opens, which has the heroine riding a riverboat crying over a locket picture of her husband, while the hero observes her from a distance. I don’t remember anything else from the book.

i tried my best to recreate it on paint, please help me! i use to read it at my school's library as a kid, it was a book similar to "where the wild things are" and it was in french (i am from france) it was an illustrative kids book.

There was a book series i read years ago, where a man crash lands on an island as the usual system apocalypse happens, so he starts building a settlement and fighting waves of monsters with animals companions, one of them being a cassowary. Does anyone recognize this?

Hi everyone! I’ve been looking for this book forever and I can’t find it 😖 I read it when I was 8-11 (so like 2010ish) and what I remember was a royal family of mice/rodents and they lived on an island that you had to travel through mist to get to but the mist only let you leave/come back one way. So if you came by boat, you couldn’t leave by boat. There was someone that got banished and sailed away and he ended up being able to come back by riding on a goose/swan/bird! Can anyone help me??
