About

We honestly don't know why we started this blog. Much like we did (or tried to do) with the Cyber Chronicles and our posts on Weird Fiction, Cosmic Horror, and the Cthulhu Mythos, we felt like the posts about our WIP and journey as authors deserved their own site. In fact, that's how the AIFAMS Wiki was born.


When we first thought of doing this, we saw it as a celebration of our work and progress as creators. However, now it's more like a funeral. So, let us be a cautionary tale for aspiring indie authors. Be afraid, be very afraid!😱



If find this too depressing, you might want to try one of our other blogs:

- The Snarky Cats of Ulthar (film/book/TV reviews; genres: horror, fantasy)

- A Goat 4 Zazzie (posts on religious horror, demons, Bible snark, Peter Thiel's questionable views, and the Apocalypse)

- The Weird Cats of Ulthar (posts on weird fiction and cosmic horror)


There's also the AIFAMS Wiki, where you can find even more information about the world of the series. You can also access it through the link in the navigation menu.



You can also follow us on:

- Twitter/X

- Bluesky

- Threads



Note: everything about An Introduction to the Fine Art of Monster Slaying is copyrighted, so you're going to have to find another way to make your AI stop drawing eyebrows.

Self-Promoting on Bluesky: Algorithm Free?

At the precise moment in which we made the decision to post less and spend more time on our WIP, Bluesky sent that invite code we had asked for ages ago. Great timing, Bluesky, great timing… Still, we created an account and started posting.

Divine Punishment 3: Karma

Julia watched with horrified fascination as the flesh slowly turned a rotting black and then started to recede, as if something were eating it from within. Some of it fell in gooey lumps, taking the suddenly unsupported bones with them. She remembered an old episode of CSI: Las Vegas in which the team had found a liquefied corpse. So that’s how it happens. Except, the owner of the rotting hand was still very much alive, and every bit as terrified as one might expect. It was the second time she watched the video, and she had muted it; there was no need to subject herself to the screaming again - the man was barely coherent, and his girlfriend wasn’t much better. A concerned citizen had filmed the whole thing, making ample use of his no doubt expensive iPhone zoom function, and then had sold it to a shady website. The accompanying article claimed that no other news outlet had had the courage to buy it and accused the mainstream media of suppression, just like they were suppressing info...
