Captain Fiaer Dradorn is on a desperate quest for a long lost treasure, forced to rely on magic in a world where magic is a curse. 'LIES' is 2 today! Like all 2yr olds it wants to be noisy & bite things, so if: Very Queer pirates and rebellion against an authoritarian isolationist state appeals...

Image of a mostly grey book cover. The title: the lies we tell ourselves are in white letters agains a blue circle in the upper third. The author name: LK Kitney are in black letters underneath. This is the 17th novella in the Luna Press Novella series.

Image of a block of text. It reads:
You have always tried to be if not a good man, then a decent one. One who knew the value of an oath. One your father would have recognised as an ally - at least before the paranoia had destroyed him. One that your mother might have been proud of, if you had ever known who she was. Sure, there have been times you have strayed from that ideal: made a few enemies, been chased from one port or another, your name cursed by those you left behind, but you have never been a bas man. Driven, sometimes even ruthless, but always with reason.

As the days pass, it is getting harder for you to argue that you have stayed true to that. You once swore you would stay out of the politics of nations, no matter how desperate things become.

Yet, for what the Isians are offering you, you will break your vow a thousand times if you must, despite knowing what will come of your actions here.

Personal photograph of bands of northern lights (aurora borealis) in faint purple in the ceentre and green at the outside. In the centre is one thick band of night sky.

In the world of 'Lies we tell ourselves' there is a link between the auroraes and the realm of the dead

Personal photograph of a moody Scapa Flow, in Orkney. Heavy, dark blue, clouds in the upper part of the photo smother a faint orange sunset, reflecting on calm waters. Shillouetted rig parts and islands break the line between sea and sky.

Back cover for The Lies We Tell Ourselves by LK Kitney, number 17 of the Luna Novella series. It contains the synopsis, which reads:

"In a world still bearing the scars from an ancient magical conflict, those who wield magic - or are changed by it - are condemned as abominations, their lives forfeit.

Raised at sea under the tyrannical rule of his father, there is nothing the young Captain Fiaer Dradorn won't do for the knowledge of a lost treasure that drove his father's obsession. Even start a war.

Betrayed to the mercy - and consequences - of catastrophic, uncontrolled, magic, Fiaer is left with nothing but the belief in his own monstrosity and the overwhelming desire for revenge.

As his plans take form, he realises that true monstrosity is less what someone is, and more who they chose to be. A choice he must make before others make it for him."

I looked it up and this is apparently true: Warren Beatty produces a couple of schlocky, low-budget short form films every handful of years so he can keep the rights to Dick Tracy as a Fuck You to the studios who fucked his beloved project from the get-go

DID YOU KNOW:

In 1990, Warren Beatty made a Dick Tracy movie. But no one would let him make another one, and even tried to do a tv show without him. He got so mad he decided to find a loophole in his contract and get decades of petty revenge.

Every couple of decades, he makes a no-budget 20-some minute tv special where he complains to Leonard Maltin while wearing his old costume, and releases it unannounced in the middle of the night on TCM. This week, at 85 years old, he premiered his new one, called Dick Tracy Zooms In. He didn't even have to show up on set. However, he has gone to court to make sure that they legally count as sequels, and thus renew his rights to the character. He does this solely so that no one else can legally use the character for anything.

This new special will make the character his until 2027, when Dick Tracy goes into the public domain and anyone can use him for free.

This is art. This is some A+ Andy Kaufman-level trolling. I will never watch either of t
