AI “death” videos, a town full of murderers in the ground, & a girl whose infamous uncle turned her life into a true-crime footnote. Campy premise, strong characters, & a lot of heart.

You can ask your library. Heck, you could offer a review in exchange for a copy - a lot of small authors might agree. You can also look for legit free giveaways, wait for charity sales, etc. There are plenty of ways to get books legitimately for free/cheap without stealing.
Look, I am very small potatoes as an author. I make too little in royalties to live off them. But I can tell you the reason I got to write my 2nd book was bc the sales of the 1st were very good. That's what else you're eating into by pirating, our ability to keep writing what you claim to love.

Just tried Welcome to Derry. Has an unnecessarily gross scene and near cartoonish horror at points. Still making up my mind, but willing to give it a couple more episodes.

I hate the clocks going backwards and forwards. When I was young, we didn’t even have clocks. If we got hungry, we ate each other. We were poor, but we were happy. Good times. Not that we had time. It hadn’t been invented. We had to make our own time out of string and cholera.
