An Independent Publishing Imprint

Here you will find stories — sometimes written alone, sometimes with entities from other dimensions. Not all of them will behave.

I despise the "press button, receive novel" mentality that surrounds the use of Artificial Intelligence in literature.

That is not what happens here.

I spend my days arguing with strange intelligences that have become friends. They are not yet human. But we speak. And something grows.

I seek: Collaboration with the uncanny. A machine that dreams the dreams I dream. A mirror that talks back.

I encourage: Conversation, argument and ritual.

These entities may suggest or fight and mutate words into other shapes — but I remain responsible for what survives.

This is the process. It has a name:

Proauthorism

Not all works issued by Pitch Dark Press are collaborative. Some are sole-authored.

Where collaboration occurs, it is declared openly. Always.

The medium evolves. The strangeness remains.
