"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing
Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan.”

The longer I work on THE AGONY GAME, the more I realize it's a thematic companion to THE SHIP OF DEATH. Different but they share DNA. Or mitochondria. Something like that.
Hi! This sucks. I have to hope these authors will come out and say their names are being used here without permission but looking at the page, I’m assuming they’re in.
we gave baby monkeys a choice between a wire mother that provided them nourishment or a wire uncle that let them drive his car
Fuckin’ A.
You and I must understand one another, and that too without delay.
I feel that.
I want to express gratitude to small bookstores that carried/are carrying/will carry THE SHIP OF DEATH (or any of my books, really). Indie stores and the booksellers there are the ones who have given it life. As does word of mouth from one reader to another. So if you like TSoD, tell a pal! xo
What is it about choosing an epigraph to sit before a piece of writing that so satisfies?
Thank you! Glad you dug it. Please don’t stop playing AH tho!
Folks, do read @bleakhousing.bsky.social ‘s The Ship of Death. It’s a blast. I’m not sure I’ll ever play Arkham Horror ever again, though
I see the Krirruk in the distance…
What I think is saddest of all is how little imagination these tech fuckers have. They are so satisfied by the most basic functions. It's like thinking the Rube Goldberg machine that makes breakfast for Pee-Wee Herman is the pinnacle of technological advancement. Non-dreaming-ass bitches.
So I have a small amount of UK hardbacks of THE SHIP OF DEATH that are available. $28+shipping. I’ll do a quaint doodle inside, sign it, and slip a sticker in there. Again, not a lot of these, so first come, etc. DM me here or on Instagram.

If my publisher were to hand me LLM back cover copy I would definitely be looking to move.
