ELSA, the computer on Moon Base One, has fallen in love.
Her algorithm doesn't quite understand what that means.
Is it caring? Is it compassion? Is it obsession?
Whatever it is, she'll do anything to protect the object of her love.
Forever.

the truth the dead know
poker face x the last of us
Get Zan Anderson.
It’s the only message left on the latest victim of Gentle Jack, a serial killer thought dead in the apocalyptic flare that killed 99.9% of the population fifteen years ago. Chicago’s population is 500. Losing anyone is a big deal.
Zan Anderson is investigating the crimes and managing her addiction to Green, a drug made from the dust remains of the flare victims that is slowly turning her into one of the lumbering zombies that are a plague on the city.
And the end of the world might be the best place to hit rock bottom.

ABOUT MJ HUNTSGOOD
MJ Huntsgood writes the weird, the dark, and the uncanny. She’s queer, she’s messy, and she’s not afraid to drag horror into the everyday. Once homeless, she survived on couches, air mattresses, and sheer stubbornness. She then spent years in monoclonal antibody manufacturing on night shifts, clawed her way through a master’s degree, and bought her own home. Somewhere in there, she became a writer.
Her work blends dark humor, body horror, and sharp emotional insight. Her writing has appeared in Timber Ghost Press, Moss Puppy, RedmancyMag, and The Hooghly Review, and she’s been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net.
She lives in an unreasonably haunted townhome in Washington DC with her ever dwindling number of underwatered plants, 2 cats and trophy husband.
She is represented by Morgan Wilson of Belcastro Literary.
