Buying the entire bundle set for $15.00 is a bit too rich for my taste.
I'm excited about reading those 4 I bought.

Huh. I never noticed that the minimum for this StoryBundle was $3 instead of the usual $5 that they ask. That does make it look like an even nicer offer, even if there's unfortunately no way to top up one's bundle purchase if one decides they want the top-tier later like Humble Bundle allows.
Went and updated the description post, thanks. Hope you enjoy the ones you got!

Four strangers’ lives are turned upside down when death comes for a visit
At first it seems like an ordinary dream. Talkative Englishman Ian McGann meets a long-dead acquaintance and asks him questions about the afterlife. But when he awakes, a thick pink scar stretches across his chest. Each subsequent night, as he dreams of death, he asks more questions, understands less, and awakens with increasingly gruesome injuries. When he meets an American traveler in Sardinia and tells him of his experience, the stranger begins having matching dreams—with the same painful results. Across the globe, a former TV icon struggles with leukemia, and a movie star falls in love with an HIV-positive photographer. All are flirting with death, and the more they struggle to understand the mysteries of the afterlife, the more they realize the world is not nearly as simple as they once believed.
This ebook contains an all-new introduction by Jonathan Carroll, as well as an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.
