FWI - You need to put the code in capital letters as apesmom has it.

I got Occultation by Laird Barron, horror short stories, for $3.99.

Quote:
Laird Barron returns with his second collection, Occultation. pitting ordinary men and women against a carnivorous, chaotic cosmos, Occultation’s eight tales of terror (two never before published) include the Theodore sturgeon and Shirley Jackson award-nominated story “The Forest” and Shirley Jackson award nominee “The Lagerstatte.” Featuring an introduction by Michael Shea, Occultation brings more of the spine-chillingly sublime cosmic horror Laird Barron’s fans have come to expect.

Laird Barron burst upon the fantasy and horror genre in 2000 with his story "Hour of the Cyclops." Since then his fiction has been among the most universally acclaimed work in the field. He has been favorably compared to Thomas Ligotti and Kelly Link. The title story of this collection, a devilishly ironic riff on H. P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's model" was nominated for a World Fantasy Award, while "Probiscus" was nominated for an International Horror Guild award and reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 19. In addition to his previously published work, this collection contains an original story.
Other suggestions for horror fans:

Elsewhere by William Peter Blatty for $2.37.

Quote:
This incredible haunted house novel from William Peter Blatty, the legendary author of The Exorcist, is disturbing, unsettling, chilling, and laced with a nasty streak of dark humor. Elsewhere is a must-have for all fans of dark fiction and sure to become a time-honored classic in the genre.
Loss of Separation by Conrad Williams for $3.15.

Quote:
FLIGHT Z IS READY TO DEPART...Pilot Paul Roan is in command of a Boeing 777 involved in a near miss. Nerves shot, he opts for a new life running a B&B in a coastal village with his girlfriend, Tamara. Not long after they arrive, Paul is involved in a serious accident. Emerging six months later from a coma, Paul discovers that Tamara is gone and a child killer is haunting the beaches. The villagers, appalled by Paul's cheating of death, treat him as a sin-eater. They bring him items to dispose of, secrets far too awful to deal with themselves. At least he has local nurse, Ruth, to look after him. And Amy, a damaged soul with a special gift. She befriends Paul and together they unearth clues that might explain the shocking history of the village, and suggest the murders are anything but. Meanwhile, Paul begins to suspect there is more to Tamara's disappearance than meets the eye...
