This is sort of the plot of my story Hush, Little Sister (except AI dead sister) in OBSOLESCENCE from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social, also in collection Limelight and Other Stories! OBSOLESCENCE also has other haunting and dark tales of tech terror...👀

You could literally do a horror anthology based on the different ways this can go wrong.

AI dead mom escapes into your TV, and your digital fridge, and your pacemaker.

What if AI dead mom ends up neglected just like one of those digital picture frames. Sold at a digital goodwill for $2.50.

Throughout all the humbling, wonderful outpouring of love for my book cover today, perhaps the most stunning development is this:

I showed it to my Mother, and she didn’t have a single negative thing to say.

In a week, it will be the anniversary of my second book coming out, and my second anniversary as an author, so I'm going to count down the days by trying to convince you to read it, starting with the cover - designed by Lydia Blagden and art by Mia Carnevale.

Convincing you to read my short story with the first sentence. Share yours... because I am behind on my 2025 reading, and I need allll the reading recs!

(If you like stories about grief, ghosts, and exceptionally good dogs, you can read "Handsomest Gentlest" here: www.havenspec.com/handsomest-g...)
Everybody said Black Shuck was a great big fearsome devil, but I wasn't so scared the night I met him in the woods. I'd only been dead for two hours, and I was too busy feeling sorry for myself to be afraid of some old black dog curled up crying in the bushes.

A screenshot of a text document which says "An hour ago, the world had been different. An hour ago, Eadlin had been furious. Now… Now she was just frightened. That horror of a noise that had come from her throat when the light had gone out had been so far from human that she wondered if she had dreamed it. "
