"I realized what a privilege it was to watch and enjoy horror movies. To have the intellectual luxury to watch people being hacked to pieces on screen while in real life people were being butchered by even greater monsters."

If you'd like to publish your book without enriching four entities that emerged from the bio-jelly of a thousand pulped tech-bros, you could scan this writeup I put together on self publishing Legends & Lattes, which cost less than 5k and involved human artists and editors

"[Spines] is not a vanity publisher."

They just take your money to provide publishing services, and have extended those services to include getting AI to write the book.

Sometimes something smells like bullshit because it's faeces that came out of a cow's arse.
Copy-pasted bros with copy-pasted beards make copy-pasted books. Tell me again how some minority academic plagarised something somewhere, mumble-mumble-beardy-mumble.

'Disruptor', lol. Wait till you find out how much authors make, my beardy dudes
