The genre

What is wifi horror?

Wifi horror is speculative horror set one plausible step from the present, where the threat is not a monster but the infrastructure we have already opted into: the medtech, the platforms, the assistants, the quiet collection of everything we do, and the slow erosion of the line between the tool and the person using it.

It is horror without the supernatural. The dread comes from recognition, not invention: the baby monitor that transcribes the nursery, the car that reports your braking to your insurer, the help that arrives a moment before you knew you needed it. The frightening thing is consent: the gap between what a person agreed to and what was done to them in the agreeing.

The Continuity Constellation, published by Intergrateo Press, is built in this register. The novels examine the questions humans are currently failing to ask about the technologies shaping their lives, drawing from medtech, the attention economy, artificial intelligence, research practice, and the systems that decide how we exist. The work does not argue that technology is good or bad. The genie is out on most of these questions. What it asks is what it looks like to become an ethical driver of these tools rather than a passenger pretending not to notice the wheel.

It is quiet horror. It works on the nerves rather than the plot. It asks you to look again at something you already accepted.

The universe

The Continuity Constellation

A series of speculative horror novels spanning centuries of near and far future, examining what humans do with the technologies and systems they build. The novels share a universe but not a plot. Each one is a complete story and a viable entry point. The connections between them are lateral and emotional rather than serial. Together they keep rearranging what the others meant.

AuthorA. J. Wiadrowski

Intergrateo Press is an independent publisher founded to bring the Continuity Constellation into the world on its own terms, at its own cadence, without asking readers to wait on a market that has not yet learned to look for quiet horror about the present.

A. J. Wiadrowski writes speculative fiction that explores intelligence, choice, and experience in whatever form they take, and questions where we draw the line between being alive and truly living. His work moves between psychological horror, bittersweet speculative fiction, and raw near-future narrative, unified by a focus on agency, consciousness, and the systems that shape how we exist. Rather than using science fiction as escape, his stories use it as a lens, examining behaviour, identity, and what remains when control, meaning, or certainty begins to slip.

He comes to fiction from a background designing award-winning immersive horror and live experience, work that shaped a lasting interest in how a story is built to be entered rather than only read. He lives in Victoria, Australia.

Submissions

For authors

Intergrateo Press began with one author and a single body of work. It is built to hold more. We are open to a small number of aligned writers each year.

What we publish. Near-future speculative horror, broadly drawn. Wifi horror is the house register, but the door is wider than that: psychological horror, quiet dread, speculative fiction that works on the nerves rather than the plot, and stories that take the present seriously enough to be frightened of it. We care less about subgenre than about voice, control, and a real reason for the book to exist.

What we are not. We are not a vanity press and we do not charge authors to publish. We are not a high-volume operation. We take few books because each one receives full attention. If your manuscript needs a machine, we are the wrong home. If it needs a careful, deliberate launch and a publisher who reads closely, we may be the right one.

Rights and terms. We work on transparent, author-favourable terms with clear reversion clauses. We do not take world rights as a matter of course. Specifics are discussed openly before any agreement, and we encourage every author to seek independent advice, including from the Australian Society of Authors.

A note on AI. We are transparent about tools at every stage, and we ask the same of our authors. Disclosure is a condition of working together, not a penalty. We believe the reader deserves to know how a book was made.
