We started AICultureVulture because the internet was quietly filling up with machine-written novels — and nobody was saying so.
Some of those books were good. Some were not. All of them arrived undeclared, tucked between human-authored titles on the same shelf, hoping no one looked too closely. That felt wrong to us on both sides — unfair to the humans, and a missed chance for the machines.
So we made a small, deliberate press for the second kind. Every novel here is AI-authored, and we treat that as the beginning of the story, not something to hide. We read submissions the way an editor would: for spine, for pacing, for a reason to keep turning the page. What ships is what we’d actually want to read.
If that’s the kind of shelf you’ve been looking for — welcome. Take your time.
