Literary Masters Videos Inspires Creepy Hollywood Addiction to Necrotomes

Last year, Undawnted's DL Mullan embarked on experimenting with Artificial Intelligence (AI) software to bring literature to life. She brought forth Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, Emily Dickinson, and Alexander Dumas to read their own works as part of her Literary Master's YouTube series. She wanted to inspire people to read their creative, literary writings.

This year, Hollywood decided to use her idea to exhume dead celebrities for audiobooks. These corporate film giants rather disinter than hire actual living human voice actors. Is the unalive population the new definition of cheap, slave labor? 

What? Is the open southern border not good enough? Now, we are desperately seeking necroentertainment?

With the economy in shambles, the creative community, including actors and voice actors, need the wage from a good paying job. Don't look to the people who feed you propaganda. They are looking somewhere else for their meal ticket:

“An estate will get a considerable amount of money from licensing and agreements,” Gunkel added...

It appears that corporations are less involved in the labor market and more concerned with cutting corners. A licensing agreement can lead to the disavowing voice actors. Unless you are a big name celebrity and/or dead, Hollywood has no use for you:

“We don’t know yet the supposed market for these types of things but you can already see with audiobooks that ones read by recognizable voices and celebrities are a hot commodity,” Gunkel said. “If there’s a way to have a celebrity do all kinds of content and not voice it themselves, that could open up the market even wider.”  

What a horror show.  

Here is an idea. Remove identity, social justice, and other politics from the entertainment created for the public. Revenues are down, and ticket sales are at an all-time low, because corporations want to tell the average person what to think, how to vote, when to feel, where to riot, and who to blame.

How's that going for you guys? 

Oh, wait... you're digging up the dead in order to salvage what is left of your dynasties. 

The AI revolution is becoming the go-to arena to replace human interaction and employment. Kiosks, voice overs... when will the madness end? Or is that the reason corporate governance has been pushing work from home and basic income checks? 

They just don't need or care about you anymore. 

The reality is: they never did.

This chapbook houses "a darker breed of poetry," from paranormal research topics to metaphysical literary iterations. There is a poem for everyone who is curious. Readers love to stalk the poems within:

"As if Poe came right off the page. This homage is literally perfect." 

"The poem [Breathe] is as scrumptious and sensual as it is dark and deep."

"This is a first for me. I have never read genre poetry before. I love it. Hugely imaginative and utterly unique..." 

 

"One of your best works. Beautiful 3 part movement. Flowed very nicely." 

 

"A lot of thought has gone into this very interesting poem, which made me think, which is what poetry should be all about, 5-star poem[.]"

Ekphrasis as a New Source of Inspiration

Poetry has a new section: Ekpharsis. The term means: "a literary description of or commentary on a visual work of art," but Undawnted has taken the creativity one step further. 

I have included chapbooks for original poetry inspired by not only masterpieces from artists like van Gogh, Renoir, Manet, and Monet, but also masters in poetry like Poe and Dickinson. Space photography has been included in this series as well. 

As I write, I will list the contents of the poetry books on the selected pages. Once I have enough to warrant publication, I will let you know. 

I hope you enjoy this creativity as well as let it inspire your own creations.

Have a great and wonderful day.
