Also Includes:
Preview: Gary Brandner’s - The Howling
Preview: Gary Brandner’s - The Howling II
Preview: Gary Brandner’s - The Howling III
Preview: James Roy Daley’s - Terror Town
Preview: Matt Hults’ - Husk
Preview: James Roy Daley’s - Into Hell
Preview: Paul Kane’s - Pain Cages

So, with all respect to the poster, I'm going to avoid this one.

Your mileage may differ, and I urge anyone who wishes to read this story and doesn't mind all the extra nonsense, to just ignore it and read only the freebie.

I used to feel the same way until a few months ago. It was another of (author/editor/publisher) Daley's freebies+endless samples that introduced me to Hults' work, and I enjoyed Husk. This house does a lot of freebies, and I've found them to be pretty readable, but then horror is one of my preferred genres and I'm always looking for new discoveries.

That said, I don't think my interest extends to Zombie Kong. And I already have 5 of the books that the samples are for. They were all freebies.
