Who the hell are you guys?

Dead Gnome Productions was founded as a label for free-thinking creators. In a world of censorship and redundant ideas created for the sake of sheer profit, these creators need an outlet for their inner voices. Stories published through Dead Gnome have only the adult reader and writer in mind. Needless to say, our materials are not for children or the faint of heart. We do not censor creative thought, no matter how violent, dark, or sexually graphic it may be. If you have a problem with horror and erotica, vulgar language, bodily fluids, or feel the need to preach your religious dogma, also feel free to leave. While the internet is seemingly becoming more conservative, less private, and heavily monetized, we are trying to create an oasis away from algorithms and influencers, extremists of both wings, and others who make modern online life so mentally exhausting.

To quote Charles Bukowski: “Wherever the crowd goes, run in the other direction.”

In conclusion, let us address the elephant in the room: AI content. Some of the covers and artwork are generated with AI. We are not proud of it, but it is a money thing. Book covers and illustrations, as well as websites, are visual media. So as not to present book covers with stick figures or black text on a white background like math homework, the decision was made, after much deliberation, to adopt artificially created images. Not all of the content is of this nature (the zombie picture is a 15-year-old hand-drawing by a commissioned artist, despite having only three fingers), and it only affects the pictures. As far as the stories by Colby and Slade are concerned, none of it was created by a machine.

 

We fully understand if you have a problem with the AI content and cannot look past it to enjoy our wonderful stories. We wish you the best of luck on your journey. For the rest of you, we hope you are going to have as much fun with our tales as we do.
