It's very Allan Quatermain-esque.

The effect of the Uncanny Valley. Why have humans evolved a viscerally negative reaction to something that's almost human, but isn't? What evolutionary selection pressures would have primed us to need this disgust, if there wasn't something dangerous in our environment that looked almost human?

So apparently that HWA pro-AI newsletter also uses Indigenous water rights issues as a prop, trivializing the activism by Indigenous peoples to protect our water including specific anti-data centre actions. I guess they figured why not alienate Indigenous horror writers while they’re at it?

“Sure. Sure.

Yes, we know AI is using up resources. So does driving a car or a planes so does building a new home. So do a lot of things. Humans have always used up Earth’s resources and usually not nicely. There are reservations and other Indigenous communities in Canada that have never had clean water and have been ravaged by pipeline construction. But somehow that’s been okay for the past fifty or a hundred years, and very few people scream about that. But suddenly, AI is the enemy, not everything else we’ve been doing all along. Suddenly YOUR water might not be clean, so it’s a Big Deal”.

The fact that every single time I see someone talking about the HWA it's not flattering should tell them something. Because it's every...single...time.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me signal boost my newest book? In FAMILIAR, two sisters hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...

Here's a photo featuring a stack of the book Familiar by Jeremy C. Shipp. There's another copy leaning against the stack, with the cover facing the camera. The cover shows an open mouth with lips made of muscle and teeth made of fingers and a tongue made of intestines. In the back of the mouth, there's an eye.

My fabric art homunculus is sitting on the stack of books. She's green with big sparkling red eyes and a tiny frown. There's also a black and red mushroom near the stack with a large eye. Near the stack, there's also a pinecone covered with googly eyes.

My novella in The Writhing, Verdant End is about two estranged friends reuniting for a summer birding trip that gets real fucked up, real fast. Perfect for fans of extinct birds, delirious summer strangeness, and ACAB horror.

I've decided to restrict my cover design commissions to just 12 next year. £300 flat rate includes ebook and print cover, and whatever iterations might be needed (within reason) to find the design you want. Four are already taken, so if you are interested let me know asap. Examples of my work here:
