This deal's somewhere between SF, fantasy, and horror, so I hope nobody minds me posting it here.

Limbus, Inc. is a shared-world setting for "anthology novels" - and in this case, that means that there are a few stories in the book, each of them stands alone, but there's a "someone is reading a manuscript containing these stories, and we get to see them react" framing device. It reminds me of Creepshow, actually. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, own but haven't (yet) read the second, and hope to see more.

Anyway, the first of two (so far) books is on sale for $0.99 at Amazon US and possibly elsewhere. (Note: Kobo carries the title, but it's not on sale and they stock everything from that publisher in PDF instead of EPUB. I don't know why.) Here's the blurb:

Quote:
Are you laid off, downsized, undersized?
Call us. We employ. 1-800-555-0606
How lucky do you feel?

So reads the business card from LIMBUS, INC., a shadowy employment agency that operates at the edge of the normal world. LIMBUS's employees are just as suspicious and ephemeral as the motives of the company, if indeed it could be called a company in the ordinary sense of the word.

In this shared-world anthology, five heavy hitters from the dark worlds of horror, fantasy, and scifi pool their warped takes on the shadow organization that offers employment of the most unusual kind to those on the fringes of society.

One thing’s for sure – you’ll never think the same way again about the fine print on your next employment application!
