Continuing on my quest try more book cover illustration by doing my own take on a cover for Widdershins 🌀

[mushabon]

Inspired by Whyborne & Griffin: Widdershins Book 1" by Jordan L Hawk. I've been wanting to do a W&G piece for so so so long and I'm so glad to have finally had a moment to do so. What better scene than this one to make my heart burst into 1000 pieces <3

still can't get over how fucking funny whyborne is. this bitch had the most insane reason for internalized homophobia and one of the most intense cases of it and then griffin comes along and whyborne's just like 'actually never mind, a hot man looked at me and i am the gayest gay alive i love being gay i love fucking men and being in love with men' like i am studying you under the microscope

[ID: a digital sketch in two panels. in the first griffin fixes a blushing whyborne's suit collar and says, there you go. in the second, griffin is kissing his husband's cheek. End ID]

yeah how's that working out for ya

That basically sums up the town of Widdershins from Jordan L. Hawk's Whyborne and Griffin series.

The Moon and Page of Cups

This place is chaotic, incomprehensible, and has a vaguely threatening aura. You can probably make some friends here.

I'll be posting the entire page once I finish, but I figured I'd post the first part because people liked it so much... Which, by the way, thank you guys for all the love. Uno reverse on all of you <3

Charles: Is that your left or my left?

Edwin (wanting to pull his hair but his other hand is back in Port Townsend): WE HAVE THE SAME LEFT!

I didn't think I'd be into this show because the main characters are younger but it's actually really my vibe! It's small weird town with eldritch creature residents. It's like the town of Widdershins in Jordan L Hawk's Whyborne and Griffin. It's gothic and weird supernatural and I just love the atmosphere of it, down to the cool butcher shop owner and her badass look.

loved | liked | okay | didn't like

 ●Captive Prince Trilogy by C.S. Pacat     ○Captive Prince     ○Prince's Gambit     ○Kings Rising     ○The Summer Palace  ●Whyborne and Griffin Series by Jordan L. Hawk (there are like 11 of these in total, but this is as far as i got. this is not the only reason i stopped, but this series does contain a sex scene wherein sliding back the foreskin is described as "peeling". and i just. i simply don't think you should peel a dick. i don't think it's good for them.)     ○Widdershins     ○Eidolon     ○Threshold  ●Sweet Disorder by Rose Lerner  ●Sailor's Delight by Rose Lerner  ●Something Human by A.J. Demas  ●Doomsday Books by KJ Charles     ○The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen     ○A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel

 ●Old Bridge Inn Series by Annick Trent     ○Beck and Call     ○The Oak and the Ash  ●10 Things That Never Happened by Alexis Hall  ●Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall (okay, listen, the first chapter hits you with a high concentration of cringe, and is therefore difficult to read. but the cringe concentration lessens considerably as you go along, and this ended up being one of my faves.)  ●Husband Material by Alexis Hall (again with the cringe, but it's not a strong enough book otherwise to make up for it, imo. the first book stands up great without having to bother with the sequel)  ●The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever by Julia Quinn  ●Bridgerton Series by Julia Quinn     ○The Duke and I     ○The Viscount Who Loved Me (there are six more of these, but i simply couldn't go on)

 ●The Mystery of Nevermore by C.S. Poe  ●Turner Series by Cat Sebastian     ○The Soldier's Scoundrel     ○The Lawrence Browne Affair     ○The Ruin of a Rake     ○A Little Light Mischief  ●The Last Binding by Freya Marske (these are kissing books, but i didn't like the actual romances so much as the. like. plot.)     ○A Marvellous Light     ○A Restless Truth     ○A Power Unbound  ●Lucky Lovers of London by Jess Everlee     ○The Gentleman's Book of Vices     ○A Rulebook for Restless Rogues  ●A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland  ●His Heart's Obsession by Alex Beecroft  ●Seducing the Sedgwicks by Cat Sebastian     ○It Takes Two to Tumble     ○A Gentleman Never Keeps Score     ○Two Rogues Make a Right  ●Hard Sell by Hudson Lin  ●Green Men World by KJ Charles     ○The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal (can be read as a stand-alone. is also not really a romance, per-se, although they sure do fuck. more like if shelock holmes had been a ghost-hunter, and watson had told us about all the sex they were having)     ○Spectred Isle (n.b. this was meant to be the first book in a series that is on hold indefinitely, though i enjoyed it plenty on its own)

 ●Winterbourne series by Joanna Chambers (there's one more novella in this series but none of my libraries has it)     ○Introducing Mr. Winterbourne     ○Mr. Winterbourne's Christmas     ○The First Snow of Winter  ●The Vicar and the Rake by Annabelle Greene  ●The Gentleman and the Spy by Neil S. Plakcy  ●The Lord and the Frenchman by Neil S.

A reclusive scholar. A private detective. And a book of spells that could destroy the world. Love is dangerous. Ever since the tragic death of the friend he adored, Percival Endicott Whyborne has ruthlessly suppressed any desire for another man. Instead, he spends his days studying dead languages at the museum where he works. So when handsome ex-Pinkerton Griffin Flaherty approaches him to translate a mysterious book, Whyborne wants to finish the job and get rid of the detective as quickly as possible. Griffin left the Pinkertons after the death of his partner. Now in business for himself, he must investigate the murder of a wealthy young man. His only clue: an encrypted book that once belonged to the victim. As the investigation draws them closer, Griffin's rakish charm threatens to shatter Whyborne's iron control. But when they uncover evidence of a powerful cult determined to rule the world, Whyborne must choose: to remain safely alone, or to risk everything for the man he loves. Widdershins is the first novel in the Whyborne & Griffin series, where magic, mystery, and m/m romance collide with Victorian era America. Buy it today and join the adventure.

PLEASE read this series. It's eleven books long, which I know will feel like a huge commitment to some people, but it's so totally worth it. By the end (and I just finished the final book so this is fresh in my mind), you'll feel like the characters are good friends, and you'll be so sad to let them go. The world is super fun and very Lovecraftian.
