A Pinch of Darkness

Welcome to the beta version of my sci-fi novel!

You can read it below and add it to your homescreen to read offline, or use AI to generate your custom cover for a free downloadable ebook.

The novel has been written without AI. I want to use the technology to co-create with readers using prompts taken from the book. All I ask is that if you enjoy some or all, that you contact me on twitter with your thoughts.
