Happy last day of pre-Halloween. Since you’ve been so nice, I’ll start this newsletter by giving you a treat. Real sci-fi fans will be thrilled to know Nebula Magazine is back. McSciFi fans will be thrilled to know I have a dark, yet oddly sweet story in it called ALL FALL DOWN. You can read it for free by clicking the link. If you’re impatient, scroll forward to page 81 to read my humble offering. But, honestly, don’t if you have the time. This is a great anthology and every story is worthy of your attention.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Hadithi Sambamba Comix has signed a deal with Drive Thru Comics for international distribution. Now, no matter where you’re at on this wonderful globe of ours, you can get your sticky fingers on the latest content from Hadithi Sambaba. You have to admit, that’s cooler than a witch’s nips in a brass brassiere. Plus, if you head over to the Tik of Tok, you can check out the latest title teaser, which repurposes the images as cinematic, and then catch up on individual promos. There is some cool stuff waiting for you.

Across the pond, the universe’s favorite mad scientist and science fiction enthusiast, Zak Webber has been kicking out uber cool promos for The Brittle Riders and Goptri of the Mists to give newbies a glimpse into the awesome universe they entail.

Lastly, I have joined the crew at The Wrath of the Chicago Demon. It will be a new horror compilation aimed directly at streaming services. If you have a terrifying tale in you, reach back to me and I’ll send you the deets. The whole thing is based on a story written by Carlos Zapata a/k/a C -LOZ Yohunshi. Just the preamble is scarier than anything you’ve encountered, so you know it’s going to be fun to work on.

My post two weeks ago, about the hidden dangers of AI has been making the rounds. I’m not anti-AI, the images festooning this post and many others prove that. But it is a tool, not a panacea, and needs to be treated as such. It is not your friend, mentor, or companion. It’s just a fancy, extremely powerful search engine.

Until next time, you continue being awesome, and I’ll continue being McSciFi.
