Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is a game that does a lot well, with seemingly deliberate design choices and inventive ideas. Unfortunately, this is all tainted by one completely needless decision on the part of its developers. My review for @bloody-disgusting.com bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/...

‘Vampire Hunter: Nightrise’ Review: AI Casts a Shadow Over Gothic Shooter Fun
The gothic castle-cum-escape room you explore in Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is so delightfully kitsch that it is hard to call it truly scary. With chittering bat swarms, lycanthropes baying at the full...

Updated guidelines for our September food systems horror and Weird fiction open call, which you can find here: cursedmorsels.com/submission-c...
AI Policy: Do not submit AI-generated/assisted work. If you do so, I will ban you from future submission calls.

Things I Want: Gripping prose, unplaceable feelings of strangeness, moral messiness, fiction written for adults, nuance, ambiguity. Stories that don’t offer easy catharsis. Queer, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist stories. Given that we’re living in an era of bullshit AI, please, by all means, send in stories that feel misshapen, unmarketable, and weird.

Things I Don’t Want: Stories that lean more into fantasy and sci-fi than horror and Weird fiction (though lighter fantasy and sci-fi elements are welcome!), cannibalism stories, pizza horror stories, stories with Lovecraft-specific IP, YA fiction, preachiness, AI bullshit. Especially AI bullshit.

The suspect planned to assassinate this pro-Palestinian advocate by firebombing her home. He is a member of a branch of the “Jewish Defense League,” a Zionist Jewish supremacist group designated in both the US and Israel as a terrorist organization. The JDL was founded by the late Meir Kahane.

Toni Morrison, correctly, of course, said that “Writing to me is an advanced and slow form of reading. If you find a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” If you’re afraid of trusting your reader, you’re afraid of trusting your own writing.

I miss writing erotica. I haven't written for fun in a really long time. Partially I'm just not inspired (thanks psych meds), partially I'm nervous because the "meta" has certainly changed a lot since I was actively writing. I think next time I have the urge, it'd be healthy for me to do it.
