Finished the horror novel for book club and I'm losing my mind because the author went too high with the body count. It's about a cabal of ten men killing people of a very specific age/sex/race demographic in one American city in one year. But looking it up, not only would they have been doubling

It's only after two days of posting about this I remembered taking a school trip as a kid to a puppet show where the story was about a Chinese mandarin charmed by a beloved nightingale and then a craftsman shows him a mechanical bird he's built to replace it in case the nightingale dies.

Minor potentate so charmed by a mechanical bird whose movement and song is so lifelike that they demand the bird or else have a tradesperson executed is a beautiful story thst echoes through time.

Testing out some novel writing LLMs to see if the tech has advanced any since 2024. Given writers are allegedly using this to win awards there must be a way to make it not suck but the default voice is still Garth Marenghi. It really likes "Imagery that sounds spooky but doesn't make sense.
