And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.
Because even though horror is really not my kind of thing, it's nice to see Endeavour generously offering us another one of their Venture reprints to try, after the long hiatus.
Incidentally, if you happen to have particularly enjoyed some of the authors they've offered us in the past, it looks as though a number of their titles have been marked down to just 99 cents (usually around $2.99-ish).
Enjoy!
