Em Reed (Debut novel MORE BUGS out now)!!! @dayofthemutants.bsky.social · Feb 17
My weirdo sci-fi slowburning romance debut novel More Bugs is available in eBook form now after getting some fresh blurbs and attention from year end lists... 👀 👽 🛸 #sff 💙📚

eBook: www.knighterrantpress.com/product-page...
Print: www.knighterrantpress.com/product-page...
Info: emreed.net/more_bugs
eReader devices and a paperback book showing the cover of More Bugs, a cool and creepy illustration of a person pulling away the side of their face to show a large beetle crawling out. Has a quote from David Lewis, writing in Strange Horizons' 2024 in review: "a psychologically rich love story with subcutaneous insectoids who are all at once unsettling and touchingly romantic." and a blurb from Eve Harms, author of Transmuted: "An insightful and thought-provoking portrait of suburban alienation and longing with a delightful dash of body horror. Through engrossing prose, Reed stealthily weaves the impossible and everyday to reveal the suffocating dread of our personal histories."

Great talk among people how some of the Fanatiques do say that the end of the world is at hand, and that next Tuesday is to be the day. Against which, whenever it shall be, good God fit us all.

In case you missed it earlier, I've written a Blog about "Evil Game Design" and what it might mean.

Here's an excerpt, that I personally quite like:
Evil Games have nothing to do with "friction". Games are not rollercoasters. They are rivers. A river doesn't have friction. It both follows the shape of the land and shapes the land so that it reaches its destination. Sometimes a River ends in a Swamp.

People who make a big deal abt piracy strike me as someone who does not see any potential knock-on value in their work reaching someone beyond the few (few) bucks involved in a single transaction... which is kind of sad

I live around Europeans basically full time and only get called a "yank" very rarely. Usually they ask if I'm Canadian as a gesture of politeness. Yankism can be overcome.

Are there any game devs today doing postcardware, where a person sends a postcard if they enjoy the game or software instead of money?
