BOOKS FOR 99c

 


An awful lot of my 'self-published' books on Kindle really first appeared in print from established marketplaces. Novels from Eos/HarperCollins. Novellas from Samhain, Telos and Dark Regions Press. And plenty of stories from Weird Tales, Cemetery Dance, Asimov's SF and Hitchcock's Mystery Mag in my eBook collections.

And now they're almost all on Sale for 99c for a limited while.

NEW FICTION IN THE STYLE OF THE GREAT H.P. LOVECRAFT

 


A wealthy publisher heads north to help console a grieving friend from college days, little knowing he is on a journey out beyond the very gates of Death, into a realm occupied by ancient beings and cruel gods, where madness, terror and betrayal reign.

An infantry captain from the First World War finds himself marooned while traveling through the Far East, abandoned on a tramp steamer that lies moored in the waters off Hong Kong. Except he soon suspects that he is not alone, and his investigations lead him to a tragic tale of loss and to a truth far deadlier than any he has known before.

In a sleepy little Irish coastal town, a huge dark building – the Menningdale Orphanage – hangs above the rooftops like some threatening cloud. And when the newly-arrived local doctor tries to find out more about the place, he finds himself plunged into a world where human beings have no place and timeless forces are at work.

In the near-future, the great city of London lies in ruins and is viewed with dread. But when two neighbors start to realize that a new danger has sprung up in the place, they set off to confront it, never once guessing at the true appalling nature of the horror that has now arisen there.

And then there is THE HOWLING TERROR.

4 short novels and the title story, published by Weird House Press in the United States and available as a paperback, on Kindle, or to read on KU.

FROM THE PAGES OF THE GREAT WEIRD TALES

 


My story 'The Waiters' first appeared in Weird Tales back in the days - under the editorship of Darrell Schweitzer - when that magazine was still a regular and leading outlet in the world of horror fiction.

And those days might be gone now but the story's just as good, praised by newer magazines like Black Static and available for Free on Kindle for a couple of days only.

Like most of my stories in eBook form, it can also be read on KU.

GHOST STORIES ON KINDLE UNLIMITED

 

If you're on KU and enjoy ghost stories then this has to be your lucky week.

My collection of such tales does exactly what it says on the cover. Thirteen tales of supernatural haunting and existence after death, each story completely different from the last.

And if you're looking for some longer reads, I have two short ghost novels on KU too, my haunted hotel saga The Night Manager and my supernatural black comedy Postcards From Terri which only went onto KU today ... I finally got the rights in it returned.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST ... AND IT'S FREE!

 


THE BROTHER is one of my earliest stories, but one I'm still proud to have written. A really spooky chiller with an ending that will make the reader jerk with shock.

It first appeared in 1983 in the Fontana Books anthology 'Nightmares,' edited by the legendary Mary Danby. But it has been reprinted many times since then, in languages other than English too.

It appears in two collections of mine, THREE DOZEN TERRIFYING TALES and CLASSIC PAN & FONTANA HORROR.

But for the next couple of days you can get a copy Free on Amazon Kindle. Or else -- if you are on KU -- you can read it almost for free anytime.
