Free from the small-press startup publisher Forgotten Tomb via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Miseria's Chorale edited by David Edward Nell (ISFDB), an anthology which contains stories from 48 horror authors (names listed in the full blurb), most notably the much-published Peter Crowther (ISFDB, Wikipedia), who IIRC we've received a past freebie story collection of from specialty sfnal-best-of-reprinter PS Publishing.

The customer reviews say that this is tilted more towards classical bizarre psychological suspense/things-gone-wrong sorts of horror than featuring currently popular horror-ish monster creatures, and some of the stories have a decidedly sci-fi tilt if you like that kind of crossover appeal.

Miseria's Chorale gathers together award winners, bestsellers, veterans and exciting new stars in one mammoth anthology that represents a broad definition of horror, taking readers on a journey to unspeakable realms and nightmarish self-discovery.

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:

Storks from Alan Spencer, whose credentials were listed in the post above, so I'm not repeating them. Kristopher Rufty (ISFDB), who's listed as illustrator, is another Samhain alumnus from whom we've also previously gotten another official publisher promo short.

You've seen it all before. A spilled truck of super chemicals infect an entire population of Wood Storks. The seemingly innocent birds turn into menacing creatures of evil. By beak, by eggs, by bird-innovation, they will kill everyone in their path.

Carter King only wanted to visit his hometown after eight years of absence. Trying to confront his emotions involving the tragic accident that cost someone their life, he revisits a painful part of his past. Not only does he have to atone for his sins, he must do battle with a fleet of storks while dodging a band of shotgun totting lunatics and endure the charms of a local nymphomaniac with a penchant for butchering men.

Storks is a novella of emotion, devastation, tragedy, sexuality, gore and bird domination.

Watch the skies, because you are not ready for Storks.
