A BNF Romance Novel... For Real???
On April Fools Day, we announced that we would be releasing romance novel versions of our movies, and we thought that was pretty funny. Weirdly enough... there were several people interested in buying a set (YOU PERVS!) So in an effort to promote the new computer movie we are shooting and to raise funds, we are going to be releasing a really crazy, weird, and very dirty trash romance novel based on our first horror movie, The Hike. Dreaded Artificial Intelligence has been fed the loose outline of the Hike, and has been set free to write whatever this evil contraption comes up with. There's furries, Elvis Impersonators, Spearfinger, and insane (and VERY dirty) adult relations.
Details on the release of the book from Burning Bulb Publishing will be announced when AI finishes being nasty.
