AI Allegations Surround a Buzzy New Book

A self-published horror novel acquired by a Big 5 publisher is facing allegations of being largely AI-generated. The publisher had already released the novel in the U.K. but will discontinue that edition and has scrapped the planned U.S. release. The book’s author claimed an acquaintance used A.I. to edit the work. The Inside Literary Prize, judged by incarcerated people, has announced its shortlist of five National Book Award-honored titles. A series adaptation of The Devil in Silver is coming to AMC+ and Shudder, with the author writing and showrunning alongside another writer.
