New Bram Stoker Book Dropped🧛 Penguin fights A.I. 🐧 Markiplier Releases SciFi Show😴 ~FN~

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

What do you think of the new structure? Thank you to Gruns for sponsoring today’s video:Get up to 45% off your order, just click here: gruns.co/pages/first-order?

[@hockeyhalod]

What's structure when the flow must happen?

[@Paul_McSeol]

Structure remains good. Always a treat to get the fantasy news. Especially when you bring up Mike Flanagan.

[@supercarlos345]

Totally up to you if you wanna include this into fantasy news one day, but I really have been enjoying when Phil has a conversation with the audience by highlighting comments from previous videos when they’re relevant to a story that he’s talking about

[@supercarlos345]

I really hope that comment made sense. I’m sorry if it didn’t known to be the kind of person whorambles.

[@benalexander9669]

Your chin doesn't deserve to be hidden behind a handheld mic

[@charlieboone1298]

We got new Bram Stoker before we got Elder Scrolls 6. BOOM

[@eric7591]

Daniel should have known there was nothing he could do to stop us from making this joke in one form or another. haha

[@evandickinson6393]

New Bram before Doors of Stone! GOT 'IM!!!

[@howlertwo]

New Bram Stoker before Winds of Winter

[@turtlebomb2001]

We got new Bram Stoker before we got Silksong.

[@Lurklen]

Good god. It feels like we are going backwards in time, except we'd get more of all these things than we have going into the future.

[@ArcherWillows]

PRH is on the right side of history. Taking a stand against art theft and soulless imitations is nice to see from a larger company.

[@cptncutleg]

Aren't Bram Stoker's works all public works?

[@thefriesofLockeLamora]

It's nice to see Penguin fighting AI when Britain's ITV is jumping headfirst into investing in gen-AI. They're getting rightfully flamed for it though.

[@pedanticperson1149]

They're fighting others using their catalogue, I don't think they're against using AI themselves.

[@helgestrm9670]

Much better format. I really dig this. So much of Booktube these days is a Broken Binding and Kickstarter advertisement conveyor belt of news.

[@andrew_8582]

Just gonna tack on my comment here because it's somewhat relevant and I don't see anyone else mentioning it: I'm really glad that the Indie Promo section is getting kept, as I've found a couple of books to read through there and it's great to see the ideas people are coming up with! I'm sure that the indie authors must really appreciate and value it. 😁

[@saphna2095]

agree and there might be active writers right now in the audience who take motivation by the prospect of maybe having their work promoted this way one day

[@overcommunikate]

@@andrew_8582 Same! I like the "indie pub promo" part too because I get to see what everyone in this community is publishing and I've picked up at least 2 so far.

[@TheShadowOfSin]

We got new Bram Stoker before Doors Of Stone Boom fresh joke!

[@teaforged4703]

Quite literally the one comment I was looking for 😇😇

[@evandickinson6393]

GOT 'IM!!

[@trevor81994]

I really respect keeping the indie pub promo. I think for me the reason that they feel skippable is that they lack the personal touch of the rest of the channel. I can go read a bunch of blurbs for myself if I want. I'd rather hear a rec from someone who's read the book. Obviously you can't read all of them but maybe you could find a small booktuber who has? Or invite the author to provide a featured review? I really like that it exists but I think it needs a rework somehow.

[@3dchick]

Interviews would be awesome! Great idea!!

[@jklol1680]

Genius ❤🎉

[@klaussecruz7133]

can't believe we lived in a time that we got a new Stoker book and Mozart piece dropped in the same year and possibly the same month. You know when the current culture is bad the masters of the last centuries decided to come back and say: "another one"

[@castironpan7967]

Okay now I need a book about that

[@aliceDarts]

​@@castironpan7967 we are living in it. 😅

[@cvampaul]

Man, I'm reading Stoker's Dracula right now, and let me say I'm STOKed!

[@amyschmelzer6445]

I read it last week. I enjoyed it although it took me longer to finish than I would have liked.

[@007robotchicken]

Dracula is my favorite book! It’s so good.

[@hamnkapten7977]

I finished it just the other week! I listened to the unabridged version and it took me a bit to get through it as well but worth every minute

[@theunskilledshinigami7623]

As someone who's read Carmilla, calling it a queer romance is insane. Carmilla is a predator who kills several little girls over the course of the novel and is actively draining Laura of life throughout it. Hell, Carmilla tried to kill Laura when she was so young that, according to her, it was one of the earliest things she could recollect and couldn't be older than six. The only reason she didn't was because Laura cried out it pain once bitten and attracted the attention of adults. If you want to use the vampirism of the book as a metaphor for lesbians, like I've seen some people argue for, it becomes a book saying lesbians are predators who've come to attack and turn your children. Let me be clear. I am pro lgbtq+. I am lgbtq+. I am not saying this because I'm a bigot, and I want the book to agree with me. I am saying it because, although well written, all I see when reading it is anti-lesbian propaganda, and the fact that so many seem to think it's actual romance astounds me. Edit: It's been a while since I read it, but talking about it made me want to. So I grabbed my copy and started into it and realized I made a mistake. I said Carmilla tried to kill Laura when she was seven. I misremembered. She was actually younger than seven. I changed what I wrote to match.

[@EzaleaGraves]

I felt the same way about werewolves in Harry Potter. Sure they experience prejudice and it's similar to the experience of LGBTQ+ people. But the main werewolf also ended his book by attacking a teacher and three students, and the only other werewolf of not purposefully went out of his way to attack children. I think anytime an author tries to use monsters to represent marginalized groups they're always walking a fine line between representation and demonizing

[@theunskilledshinigami7623]

@@EzaleaGraves I agree with your last point, but I do want to state that with Carmilla specifically, I don't think it was ever intended to be good representation and was in fact made to demonize a specific group. It's modern people trying to reinterpret it while ignoring the basic facts of events in the story, such as Carmilla killing multiple children, who have tried to act as if it was ahead of its time representation.

[@klulu-kun]

That's why I don't attach any identity to stories. If they happen to be gay and a villain, so be it. Doesn't say anything about me.

[@Solarstormflare]

i wonder if the mvoies have antyhign to do with it>?

[@FIntan-vr9cv]

Yeah, I mean I think it is a very homophobic representation of lesbians. And is a really interesting juxtaposition to Stokers Dracula. And the idea of declining morality within the Victorian world. And the true horror not being some gothic beast. But the fact that humans might succumb to the “desires” presented within the texts. Which clearly have homoerotic overtones

[@aerynmusick4548]

If anyone hasn’t checked out the 2013 audiobook of Dracula, I HIGHLY recommend it. Tim Curry as Van Helsing and Alan Cumming as Dr Seward (a personal favorite actor and part for myself). It is FANTASTIC.

[@aerynmusick4548]

I realize this is only tangentially related to the new Stoker release but I like to bring it up because I think it’s the definitive version of the text.

[@HeavyTopspin]

There's a serious difference in meaning between "Gibbet Hill" and "Giblet Hill"... although if it's human giblets it's equally horrifying.

[@sonipitts]

Right 🤣I was dying over here oscillating between which was more horrifying, but also at the easy-to-make and absolutely brand-perfect mixup

[@g.belanger8302]

My thoughts exactly, lol!

[@coryhartley6135]

Gotta say I didn’t think the format change would make a difference for me personally but I actually think this was in fact better! Good work Mr. Goblin sir

[@JoffJk]

I'm a fan of the structure this week. It's definitely good to get a story up front makes me more likely to engage in the whole video.

[@morganmcleod939]

I love how you moved the cover reveals, I didn’t realize how much it would help me get psyched for the rest of the episode starting with some news instead.

[@jesnoggle13]

Your gollum 2 faster and furiouser comment had me chuckling for a full minute. I had to pause the video.

[@SparkAce1]

Congratulations on the Better Dead progression. It’s really flying along.

[@arabellacarter1482]

I can’t believe we’ve gotten new Mozart and new Stoker in the year 2024.

[@epicgreenelf2765]

I have yet to see a live-action adaptation that really understands the works of Simon Stålenhag (the artist/author behind Tales from the Loop and The Electric State, adapted into the Amazon TV-series and Netflix movie respectively) and captures their spirit, at least in my opinion. For those interested, I highly recommend the original art books, as well as their TTRPG counterparts by Free League Publishing!

[@hwaryun7042]

don't mind me just back spacing my "We got a new Bram Stoker book before Gta 6" comment

[@ilikemandalorians9861]

4:17 bloody told you! 😤 Ian McKellen did not explicitly say there will be two Gollum films. He said there may be two LotR-related films (possibly War of the Rohirrim and Gollum, possibly two Gollums, or possibly Gollum and something else), not two Gollum films.

[@DeyaViews]

The Electric State surprises me most out of these announcements, even more than Bram Stoker having a new book coming out. The Electric State is based on an artbook by Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. Making the leap from artbook to film is wild. It's also got a tabletop RPG released by Free League/Fria Ligan, who also make RPGs like The One Ring, Alien, Mork Borg, The Walking Dead, Blade Runner and Coriolis. They got other RPGs that were entirely based on a Swedish artist's artbook, including another one by Simon Stålenhag: Tales From The Loop, about playing kids in the '80s where there's a bunch of robots and weird stuff going around.

[@FancyTuna77]

Mad respect to Han Kang 💕

[@heatherduke4545]

So excited to hear you talking about the new dracula story! I'm heading to the Bram stoker festival this weekend we have every year. This short story's release is also in aid of an Irish charity! 💚 So very good if people order it too

[@PedroRodrigues-fh1ku]

OMG, I need that The magicians book now. You are the best booktuber in this site, thanks for always shinning a light on cover artists, we don't get much publicity out of publishing companies. It would be amazing, in addition to your authors' promotion section, to have a space dedicated to show the cover artists' works with their socials so other authors watching your channel can contact them.

[@TheLongestTake]

Ash is also directed by Flying Lotus - acclaimed musician/producer.

[@cronkthebookguy]

I love the original Hunger Games covers. They're a brilliant use of minimalism. Problem is a minimalist style only works for about 3 variations. By the time you hit 5 books the concept gets stretched pretty thin. Still gonna read it, obviously. 😂 Fantastic video, btw.

[@namesareirrelevant3496]

27:44 why does it say Edge of Tomorrow?

[@artloveranimation]

"AH!" otherwise known as Ai 😂

[@Levi_Zacharias]

7:25 made me burst out laughing. So glad to hear this!

[@hesamui6250]

Love the Fantasy News 2.0 format!

[@anastasiyaivanova4665]

I hope the Stoker story is genuine and not an attempt to get AI to replicate Stoker's prose and then sell it as his lost story. I *really* wish I didn't have to write that sentence, ugh

[@fruitpunchsamurai4837]

There are talented human writers who can also replicate prose exceedingly well, so this doesn't really feel like an AI related concern

[@pixelsbykris5494]

@kjarakravik4837 The thing is, it could end up being BOTH. Especially if said author is dead and cannot sue a person using AI to try and replicate said author's voice. I remember at least one person telling ChatGPT to write the last GoT book.

[@teenyleebop]

So proud of Premee Mohamed for winning best collection. Highly recommend all of her works. My favorites are "The Annual Migration of Clouds" and "We Speak through the Mountain".

[@MillennialViking]

I love the sponsor plug card. never hurts to involve Boblin

[@Darlnezz]

The gaming industry having too high budget and too many chefs that should not be part of it reminds me about how Duncan Jones wanted more freedom and trust for the Warcraft Movie as the high budget locked his hands behind a bunch of CEOs which kept progress from happening as they had to review every little change or constantly commandeer the direction because they were the ones with the money.

[@CoopHawke]

There's one giant issue in the games industry that nobody is really talking about because it has alot of benefits. It's the Unreal Engine. It's an amazing tool for smaller teams that can't afford to make their own engine but it's killing the AAA scene. 1) with everyone using the same engine they all feel the need to keep up technically with eachother which is increasing dev time, budget and team size 2) we're losing engines like CDPR's Red Engine which not only made great looking games but unique looking games. Now games all have a familar look. 3) this one isn't talked about enough but Unreal makes it easier for companies to hire freelance workers and lay people off. On boarding new people takes almost no time when you're using a familar engine.

[@Lurklen]

Daniel, I don't know what camera or lighting set up you have right now, but your _EYES ARE POPPING!_ Look, I don't normally comment on people's appearances, but it's like two ice cold lasers shooting out the screen right now. I am dazzled. So if you see this, you looked good in this video today, hopefully that gives you a little boost. It's only meant as a friendly compliment, because I know when I have a day where I look good, it gives me the warm fuzzies when someone points it out. Thanks for the news.

[@thatotherted3555]

Someone in there should've mentioned that _The Electric State_ is an adaptation of the book by Simon Stålenhag, which is incredible. It looks like they've added a lot, though

[@christoferguson]

We got a new Bram Stoker novel before Brando Sando could finish the next 5 secret novels. ...haha? No?

[@theMatthgeek]

The format looks great! Very easy to get what we want. And the Edge of Sleep is great. Without spoiling too much, there's some fantastical elements to the story, and I'd be interested to see your thoughts on how they're incorporated

[@spaceinvader332]

Fantasy News has changed again, and I still love it, great delivery of a wide range of information. No problem about the merch, can't wait for the next drop. You're definitely right, goblin superhero teamup. Except you're the big smart guy, and I'm the scrappy murder hobo.

Really glad you covered markiplier's show on prime! They released it without any fanfare, and have seemingly challenged him that if it can keep in the top 10 trending for 30 days, then it's going to potentially open up doors for the other major project he's been working on

[@ThePersephoneDiggen]

@@SparkAce1 but it’s still a weird thing to do

[@SparkAce1]

@@ThePersephoneDiggen To change the original text ? Ya maybe so. I think it was blown a bit out of proportion, in the context but I get that it shouldn't be a thing that is regularly practiced.

[@ThePersephoneDiggen]

@@SparkAce1 I wonder how the author would have react if he was alive today (maybe it wouldn’t happen, but it’s still interesting to see his reactions to it).

[@SparkAce1]

@@ThePersephoneDiggen Ya, I think about that too. I know he didn't want any changes made to his writings when he was alive but he was a pretty bigoted person and that did come across in parts of his work. When he was alive, I believe publishers did even get him to change some aspects of his writing so that it wasn't too over the top. So essentially, I don't think changing authors works should be a common practice, especially posthumously, but in this particular instance, when it comes to kids developing their views of society, I think it was harmless.
