Patreon Microfiction: Alchemical Byproducts.
The dude in ‘Alchemical Byproducts’ isn’t exactly whining about it, but he’s feeling just a touch aggrieved. Having the Philosopher’s Stone is turning out to be a solid, stone-cold moneymaker, after all (if not quite literally, in this world of fiat currency). He’s just embarrassed that all the pure science people are pissed at him now.

‘Dancing in the Dark [Walk Off the Earth cover].’
Y’all hate Springsteen’s singing, so maybe you’ll like this cover.

Fright Reads went well!
A long day, but a productive one. Sales were very good, at least by my standards; I’m not entirely sure what ultimate success will look like, but I moved a decent amount of product and made a decent profit. Interestingly, though, neither TINSEL RAIN nor DUTIES sold at all. I think that’s because I was selling a lot of ‘try these, and see if you like my stuff’ books, so I do have some hope of moving both of the above books in the next few weeks. Something to look forward to.
And now I’m going to collapse, thanks.

Book of the Week: THE GOLDEN ENCLAVES [Scholomance, Book 3].
Like this was a surprise, really. I’ve already read Naomi Novik’s THE GOLDEN ENCLAVES two and a half times and it came out five days ago. Now I’m going to read the whole series over again, and see how the clues in the first two books led to the three. What else really needs to be said, here.
Further commentary – none of it directed at Ms. Novik – has been deleted as being perhaps a bit… inflammatory.

The official Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities Netflix trailer.
Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities looks like fun! …At least, the Lovecraftian ones do. I’ll reserve judgement on the other ones until I see them. There’s gonna be some decent spooky horror stuff, this Halloween…
Fright Reads tomorrow! Come to it! Buy my books!
At last, at last. Got the books packed before the rain hit, which is nice. Will get up and go in time to make the 11 AM check in, God willing and no flood advisories for the I-95 Corridor.
I dunno if I’ll see any of you there; but if I do, be sure to buy a book!
We Shall Not Permit Them Even Death: Bruce Willis sells deepfake rights.
We certainly live in s strange and exciting technological age when it comes to filmmaking. Bruce Willis may have retired from acting, but it looks like we won’t see the last of the actor. Willis has become the first star in Hollywood to sell his rights to allow a “digital twin” of himself to be created for use on screen in TV and film.
Put another way…

PS: Oh, I’m sure it’s not that bad. But DopperWillis’s first go-round as a deepfake was on Russian TV, selling mobile phone service. An epic use of technology, this is not.
