“This is the kind of novel that will connect…with the most die hard of horror readers / fans while managing to have potential appeal to readers who don’t normally crossover into these dark tales. That isn’t an easy path to take, but Cynthia Pelayo tears down that road with impressive success.”
IT CAME FROM NEVERLAND by @cynthiapelayo.bsky.social publishes today. This is a wonderful novel that casts Wendy as a survivor of Peter Pan's malicious, tortuous, gaslighting nature. A smart, enchanting, horror novel that hooked me. My review @sffworld.com www.sffworld.com/2026/06/it-c...

IBM's "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" was from 1979. That was 47 years ago. That was before AOL, the Macarena, and Google. Half a century ago it was considered obvious that CEO's would deflect blame from themselves onto "AI"
If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online. Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.
