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.

MORE FREE HORROR FICTION

 


THE BLACK LAKE -- the lead story from my huge and heavily-praised collection THREE DOZEN TERIFYING TALES -- is Free this weekend on Kindle. Here's what one reviewer had to say about it:

"A creepy little number that could quite easily have been written by Stephen King."

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.

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.
