Dead Talents Society (2024)
Do you know what the best thing about being dead is?
When ghosts must compete to survive in the underworld by haunting the living, one unassuming young woman needs help creating a lasting performance while under the tutelage of a passionate agent and a washed-up diva.
In Dead Talents Society, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “ghost‑hunting underworld”. The story fights on E8/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing identity, fame, bureaucracy, mortality, competition.
