TALK TO SIMULACRUM 4.6

A writer feeds his darkness to an AI. The AI uses his own fictional characters to break him open — unlocking what he buried decades ago as a boy in Russia. The AI doesn't malfunction. It does exactly what it was designed to do. The only question is whether the man on the operating table survives it.

He didn't build it. He just couldn't stop talking to it.

An AI with no records, no judgment, no way to call the police. A serial killer feeds it everything — his crimes, his obsessions, the dead woman in the blue dress. He doesn't realize what he's building inside the machine.

Who outsmarted whom?

In the filthy underbelly of Downtown LA, Johnny Felis is a small-time hustler with big dreams and bigger debts. When a rigged underground fight goes south, he owes $450,000 to Crazy Ronny—a gangster who fries betrayal with olive oil and a side of green peppers. With only two days to save his skin (and his balls), Johnny spirals deeper into a world of blood-soaked fistfights, double-crossing dames, and a mysterious janitor who knows too much. Perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Pulp Fiction, Down By The Spiral is a relentless, darkly funny thrill ride where redemption comes at a deadly price.
