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.

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.

GENTLER FANTASY ... NOW AVAILABLE ON KU

 

If you thought I just wrote dark and scary fiction then you couldn't be more wrong.

Touched By Magic: Human Dramas in the Paranormal World has 3 long stories and 1 short one, all of them exploring the gentler, more humane and more romantic aspects of the supernatural world. And they're set in great locations too, including Tokyo, the Southern Japanese island of Kyushu and the Malaysian island of Penang.

All of this fiction can now be read via Kindle Unlimited.

DOZENS OF HORROR STORIES ... NOW AVAILABLE ON KU

 

An awful lot of my eBooks on Kindle haven't been eligible for KU up till now.

But that situation has dramatically changed this week and now almost all my fiction can be read by people on the KU scheme.

Let's start with 3 horror collections:

Three Dozen Terrifying Tales is my top-selling Kindle in the UK (with fans in Germany and India too) and has picked up simply dozens of top rating and reviews. If you haven't come across this huge collection previously, here's your chance to find out why that is.

Classic Pan & Fontana Horror is quite well-regarded too. Stories from 3 famous UK anthology series, The Pan Book of Horror, The Fontana Book of Great Horror Stories and the Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories, plus tales from other mags and anthos of the decade, including The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in its heyday under Ed Ferman's editorship.

And last but not least, Dark Futures: Sf meets Horror for those of you who like to vary their palate with a little taste of fusion fiction.

AVAILABLE TO READ ON KINDLE UNLIMITED

I've already talked on this blog about my 2 collections specially compiled for KU readers. For science fiction fans there are the 15 stories - some of them good long ones - in UNLIMITED FUTURES.

And for aficionados of the darker arts there are the horror, supernatural and dark fantasy tales contained in CHILLS UNLIMITED ...  not only 15 stories in this book but 2 complete short novels too. But they are not the only works of mine included in the KU scheme.

There's my newest collection of dark and horror fiction, NIGHTCRAWLER & OTHER TALES OF DARKNESS.

There are all 6 - so far - full-length novels in my RAINE'S LANDING FANTASY SERIES, adventures set in an isolated Massachusetts town that's filled with magic, both the good kind and the very bad, and trapped under a witch's curse. In fact, the first five novels in the series can be read on KU in a single eBook, THE RAINE'S LANDING NOVELS 1-5.

Sticking with the supernatural theme, there are short novels of mine that are available too under this scheme. THE NIGHT MANAGER for instance, set in an old Victorian hotel that has some very scary - and inhuman - guests.

And then there is one of my personal favorites, UNDER THE ICE. Set in Helsinki, Finland, in the dead of winter, it's a re-visitation of the revenant theme. The website Horror Novel Reviews named it as one of their Best Ten Novels of the year.

For those of you who like their fiction imaginative but not so dark, there's THE ELECTRIC SHAMAN, set in a futuristic very modern Africa and featuring the Zimbabwe-based detective Lieutenant Abel Enetame.

And for those who prefer their detective fiction straight up there's THE DESERT KEEPS ITS DEAD, a hard-boiled thriller set in Arizona in the present day.

Back to the supernatural theme, but definitely with a far lighter touch this time. The 4 stories in TOUCHED BY MAGIC: HUMAN DRAMAS IN THE PARANORMAL WORLD have fantasy at their heart, but of a more humane, even romantic kind.

 

And if you're simply looking for a quicker read, many of my individual short stories are also available on KU ... superhero fiction like RAYVEN BLACK IN THE CITY OF NIGHT, ghost stories like THE WOMAN IN BROWN and many more.

A BRAND-NEW COLLECTION OF CHILLING FICTION

Anyone familiar with my work will know that short stories are a pretty major part of my output. My tales have appeared in almost anywhere from Weird Tales and Cemetery Dance to Asimov's SF, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and even ... wait for it ... Woman Magazine. And that's just periodicals. They've also cropped up in lots of online mags and some prestigious anthologies.

Top independent publisher Dark Regions Press put together 4 collections of this shorter fiction, Shadows and Other Tales, Our Lady of the Shadows, The Universal and Other Terrors, and the extended US version of my award-shortlisted British collection Going Back.

But now there is a brand-new book of my stories available. And when I say "brand-new," I really mean it.

In the first place, NIGHTCRAWLER & OTHER TALES OF DARKNESS contains stories of mine you might have missed because they appeared not in horror/supernatural outlets but in publications such as  Hitchcock's or the Postscripts series from PS Publishing.

But in the second place, it also has 7 new stories that were written specially for this collection and have never been seen before in any sort of print. One of them (see below) is WHAT DONNIE WANTS, offered for Free just a short while back. The others are THE PEOPLE IN THE GLASS (my newest twist on traditional ghost fiction), SADIE, THE MASK, THE EMPTY ROOM, my latest Birchiam tale MEDUSA, and the title story itself ... NIGHTCRAWLER.

It's been a good few years in the writing, but NIGHTCRAWLER & OTHER TALES OF DARKNESS is now available on Kindle, through Kindle Unlimited, or as a handsome paperback.

SCI-FI & DARK FANTASY FOR KINDLE UNLIMITED READERS

I've been away from here a while ... I know that. But as it turns out lockdowns are extremely weird things, with some aspects of your normal life getting mysteriously overlooked. And this blog has proved to be one of them.

But now I'm back, and with fresh news.

I have numerous collections out on Kindle, but not one of them until this date has been eligible for Kindle Unlimited. And the reason for that omission is a very simple one. Books can only be available through KU if all of the material contained in them appears on Kindle and no other platform (which is precisely why you can't read Stephen King or James Patterson as part of your membership). And every last collection that I've put out till this point has stories in it that are equally available from the same publishers who put out them in eBook form in the first place, Dark Regions in the US, The Alchemy Press in the UK, and so on.

So I've finally decided I should put that right. UNLIMITED FUTURES is a a huge collection of my science fiction work. And if you're into horror, supernatural stuff and dark fantasy tales, then CHILLS UNLIMITED gives you 15 short stories and 2 complete short novels, and every single word of both these massive books can be read via your subscription to KU.

Oh, as a brief final note, other eBook fiction of mine can also be read through Kindle Unlimited, the 6 full-length novels (so far) in my Raine's Landing supernatural thriller series for instance.
