If you have the book collector bug and want to discover some fresh horror short stories, look no further than the Black Shuck Shadows series. You’ll find the work of some brilliant writers. Look at them…don’t you just want to own them all?

They should be careful with Braverman and check out the airlock window to make sure she’s not just tethered to the hull, bumping against it trying to get back in. Turn on the pod engines, full burn, for a bit to vaporise the body, maybe, to be on the safe side.

Most of all, I think it's important that as creators, we stick together. Look out for other peoples' rights as well as just thinking about your own. Don't use AIs that have been trained on the work of others without their permission. Don't build your success on the exploitation of others.
