Watching Horror Movies When the World Is a Horror Movie Filmmaker Damian Lahey pens an essay about being a horror fan when the world itself is a horror movie. Read more on Dread Central.

"I realized what a privilege it was to watch and enjoy horror movies. To have the intellectual luxury to watch people being hacked to pieces on screen while in real life people were being butchered by even greater monsters."

If you'd like to publish your book without enriching four entities that emerged from the bio-jelly of a thousand pulped tech-bros, you could scan this writeup I put together on self publishing Legends & Lattes, which cost less than 5k and involved human artists and editors

New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone A new publisher has claimed it aims to β€œdisrupt” the books industry by publishing 8,000 books in 2025 alone using artificial intelligence.

β€œHow’d the world die? A pack of no-talent tech grifters created a digital artbarf machine to spew endless artbarf and each time the machine threw up it drank more water, destroyed more resources. Nobody wanted it but they did it anyway! Eat your roach paste.”

"[Spines] is not a vanity publisher."

They just take your money to provide publishing services, and have extended those services to include getting AI to write the book.

Sometimes something smells like bullshit because it's faeces that came out of a cow's arse.
