Also, let the record show that I was writing about data centers being spooky well before it was a trend.

In my sci-fi novel about AI-controlled zombies I included a brief Supreme Court decision in which the Court establishes a Second Amendment right to own reanimated cadavers capable of lethal force.

A SEASON OF LOATHSOME MIRACLES includes thirteen short stories of gruesome horror, bleak ascensions, and gallows humor. And gosh, I'm still awfully fond of that title.

I haven't done anything that people get arrested for! I've just been wandering around Venezuela blowing up infrastructure and kidnapping government officials to satisfy a half-baked and senseless grudge.

Not exactly what you're talking about, but I wrote a novel about techno-barons bringing about a zombie apocalypse where society collapses but the stock market keeps going up. www.frankenstein-enterprises.com
Victor Frankenstein is the richest man on Earth. In 1994 he shocked the world by patenting a process for reanimating and controlling human cadavers. Twenty-five years later, his invention has transformed every aspect of society. Zombies drive cabs, serve tables, pick crops, police the streets, fight wars, and much more, their slightest motions coordinated by the iGor computer network. Dr. Frankenstein sits atop a vast corporate empire that reaches for the stars, while the poor survive by mortgaging the rights to their mortal remains. And the walking dead are becoming smarter and more capable at an alarming pace...

Story idea: A kid at a magical boarding school for wizards, shortly after getting sorted into a house based on his identity, has a mystical encounter with King Penda, last of the pagans, who teaches him that identities built around purity and strict binaries are bullshit.

Everyone should read FROM HELL, it's an incredible work of art that's hideously relevant to our conspiracy-obsessed, gender-crazed times.

I was re-reading Cody Goodfellow's STRATEGIES AGAINST NATURE recently. Great stuff - imaginative and visceral! There's one story in here that has made it very difficult for me to enjoy shrimp.

There's a passage in it about white men encroaching on the Indian way of life that I think of all the time since GenAI came out. That miserable gnawing fear that human writing and freedom are castles and armor in the age of gunpowder.
“…I was young then and them distinctions bothered me, what with the conflicting claims: Indians believing they was more ‘natural’ than white men, and the latter insisting they themselves was more ‘human.’

“Whatever the judgment on that, I knowed right then that the Cheyenne way [of freely roaming the Plains] was finished as a mode of life. I saw this not in the present camp, but back in Denver; for truths are sometimes detected first in a place remote from the one to which they apply. Think of how if you was standing in China when gunpowder had been invented, you could have known that thousands of mile away some castles and armor was finished.”

[free speech guy] Although the complaints about "historical accuracy" in the Odyssey movie are stupid and fashy, Bronze Age armor is really weird and cool and colorful and sword-and-sorcery and fantasy movies should make more use of the designs.
