One of Amazon's monthly Kindle deals for October is Laird Barron's recent collection
The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All for
$1.99.
Quote:
Over the course of two award-winning collections and a critically acclaimed novel, The Croning, Laird Barron has arisen as one of the strongest and most original literary voices in modern horror and the dark fantastic. Melding supernatural horror with hardboiled noir, espionage, and a scientific backbone, Barron’s stories have garnered critical acclaim and have been reprinted in numerous year’s best anthologies and nominated for multiple awards, including the Crawford, International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy awards.
Barron returns with his third collection, The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All. Collecting interlinking tales of sublime cosmic horror, including “Blackwood’s Baby,” “The Carrion Gods in Their Heaven,” and “The Men from Porlock,” The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All delivers enough spine-chilling horror to satisfy even the most jaded reader.

I have a print copy of this one waiting to be read. Barron is really good, perhaps the finest contemporary writer in the Lovecraftian tradition.
Other new horror deals include Joe Hill's
Heart-Shaped Box and
H. P. Lovecraft's Book of the Supernatural for $2.99 each. The former has been discounted several times, so you may already have it.
