  L.C. Douglass will be live on Martin Maenza's Stackchat  at 8 p.m. (EDT, UTC-4) for a very Martian Gothic All Hallows' Eve! 🎃 HALLOWEEN ON MARS! 🦇🔴 What lurks in the spaces between worlds? And why does horror so often begin at the threshold of the unknown? Join me this Saturday, October 31, at 8 PM Eastern , when I'll be Martin Maenza's guest on Stackchat for a Halloween special! We'll be talking all things spooky, Gothic horror, the strange territory of liminal spaces, and my serialized sci-fi vampire novel, Vampire Daddy , where humanity is extinct, vampires rule Mars, and some things are far more terrifying than death. Expect dark lore, strange imaginings, and a few Halloween surprises! 🦇 Come for the vampires. Stay for the existential dread. 🎃 Watch live here: https://open.substack.com/live-stream/427565 Also: the most recent chapter of Vampire Daddy was published on 30 October 2026: Chapter 28: " The Temptation of Primeva "

A New Mythology for the Turn of the Millennium: The Podcast

The blog will now begin exploring the power of AI to discuss the stories I have been writing for over a decade and plan now to bring closer to publication. Since AI is considered a universal threat to creators, I will discuss what it means to work with this exponentially-growing medium as a commentator and potential fictional character in itself.
 
To that end, I have a new podcast series about my fictional writing: A New Mythology for the New Millennium. This first podcast was generated by AI and is the start of a new journey, building on the work I did at Histories of Things to Come and on Patreon, Discord and Telegram. It will also profile the millennial characters and storylines in my fiction.
 
The AI voices are a bit weird, but that is part of the exploration. They make conclusions about my writing, a form of odd literary criticism from 'out there.' Link to the playlist. Link to Podcast #1. Can an AI which is commenting on human arts become a critic - or a metafictional character inside those arts? We will see.
