There's audio and video adaptations in there, recommend Persistence of Vision on page 2 of the audio.com profile. My short story Vantablack was also featured in Tales 2 and was well received, there's a narration of that as well

I'm a 2x tradpubbed horror author with works which might interest some here. In the linktree you'll find my Substack, but also free audio narrations of 20 or so short stories by various VAs, and some short video adaptations I've been experimenting with. Being that this is 4chan I'll expect unhinged replies, but do sincerely hope I can entertain and unsettle you where other horror authors have fallen short.

Yes, I'm writing a novel with that exact premise, but it's Earth after a failed rebellion against AI that fucked off into space. The survivors regressed to technophobic agrarian living and regard electrical engineering as forbidden sorcery. WIP here:

Feedback or unhinged abuse equally welcome

I dunno how that will look to publishers when my fantasy races are just irl birth defects like hypertrichosis. That's gonna be a hard sell already

Nuh uh

Welcoming critiques/analysis. Or just abuse is fine, I've been on 4chan since the start so I know what to expect.

Sun went dark, somehow Earth does not freeze, but is haunted as shit by shadow doppelgangers of missing people

Forgive the fact that these are videos. I know artists get their panties in a twist about AI content too. But they're adaptations of my short stories, which imo qualify:

I wrote this one based on parts of Downpour. Which I know wasn't well received, but I liked it. All the spoops represent struggles men face on their path through life.

Given the platform I mainly expect insults, at least make them creative/funny.

Here's another fun one, about a student hiking in a state forest stumbling across a future man and his broken down time machine

A shortie but a goodie about a poor boy in an arcology befriending a fugitive AI

That isn't exactly what they are, they look like recently missing people but don't speak, and obey the same rules as the spoops from Lights Out (2016). Mass haunting is an underpopulated genre with some great standouts like Pulse/Kairo

Anyone feel like beta reading this WIP? Sun goes dark, Earth somehow doesn't freeze, is instead overrun by shadow people/ghosts(?)
