T.K. Rex’s gentle prose is dense with sly humor, sharp metaphor, and an abiding love for the natural world. These stories challenge us by showing us the logical conclusion of late-stage capitalism – spiraling natural disasters, a mushrooming police s ...more

"Would give you 0 stars if I could.

GenAI is theft. You've stolen the work and the data of other authors, put it in an AI blender, reduced it down to murky, colourless, tasteless SLOP and are now trying to serve it up as something you've 'written'. Dis" Read more of this review »

Written by AI, narrated by AI... why would you bother to read a book nobody could be bothered to write, and listen to a book nobody could be bothered to narrate? Reject this slop.

The author has flat-out admitted in an NYT article that she cares only about churning out as many books as she can, that she uses AI to do it, and that she sees this whole thing as a "race" -- to earn money, of course.
Reject this slop entirely. ...more

“There would always be men like them; there would always be cops using black and brown bodies for sport and judges that would slap at their wrists with a bloody dollar bill.”

“When she called out for everyone to smile, five heads swiveled toward the camera, five sets of dead eyes lit up, five sets of teeth flashed open wide.”

Cynthia’s Quotes

“The first thing Viviana noticed, on her first night as a vampire, was how much she wanted to fuck everyone. When she was alive she’d been drawn to the same few types, again and again, and she had always longed for a palate more adventurous, more brave. Now everyone she passed smelled wonderful, the hunger sharpening inside her with every breath, and she wanted to slide her mouth over the softness of every neck and take them all in. (from "Lips Like Sugar")”
