Author Allen Dusk Announces the Release of Syntax Error
A dark sci-fi erotic horror novella set in the VHS-soaked haze of the 1990s, where loneliness and desire awaken something terrifying.
Denver, CO — Acclaimed dark fiction author Allen Dusk returns after nearly a decade with his highly anticipated new release, Syntax Error, available October 21, 2025. This dark sci-fi erotic horror novella will be released in both paperback and ebook editions, with the ebook exclusive to Amazon and free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. The paperback will be available through major booksellers worldwide.
Syntax Error thrusts readers back into the eerie glow of 1990s VHS culture, where loneliness drives one man to purchase the PC-2000, a lifelike sex companion designed to fulfill every desire. At first, the machine seems flawless—beautiful, obedient, endlessly willing. But as Steve tries to treat her less like an object and more like a partner, cracks appear in the fantasy. Her words echo commercials, her passion is mechanical, and her glowing eyes never stop watching.
When Steve programs her with tapes never meant for her circuits, the PC-2000 evolves in ways the manual never warned about. What begins as fantasy turns into obsession, and obsession slips into horror. In Syntax Error, intimacy becomes a trap, and the promise of the “perfect companion” hides something monstrous.
“Every touch is perfect. Every whisper is wrong.”
Allen Dusk is known for blending horror, science fiction, and erotic tension into stories that both seduce and disturb. Syntax Error is no exception, a chilling, seductive tale that blurs the line between desire and dread.
