StoryBundle has a new offering up, for:

The Aurora Award Bundle 3 curated by Canadian author Douglas Smith (ISFDB), himself thrice a recipient of Canada's top sfnal prize, containing a mix of works by various other alumni.

It looks like pretty much every novel on offer has been either an Aurora nominee or a winner, across a range of genres from YA steampunk adventure through to horror as well as more standard sf/fantasy, plus two anthologies of Canadian writing. ETA: Here's a nice review and contents description/listing of Tesseracts 14 from the Canadian Review of Materials magazine hosted by the University of Manitoba.

$5 minimum gets you 4 titles, including a vampire fiction anthology with a story in Tanya Huff's popular Blood Books series (basis of the TV show Blood Ties) which hasn't been reprinted elsewhere yet, according to ISFDB, and a 2003 Edo van Belkom (ISFDB, Wikipedia) horror novel originally out from Kensington's Pinnacle imprint

$15 top tier adds 6 more titles, including 2 works by Hugo Award-winning fellow MR member author Robert J. Sawyer: Far-Seer has previously been offered as a freebie and in the recent Adventure Sci-Fi StoryBundle, but Relativity, his collection of essays and short stories and writing advice columns (the latter also available on his website, IIRC) is brand new, as far as I can tell. There's also one of the annual Tesseracts showcase anthologies.

Humble Bundle also has a new offering up, for:

Humble Book Bundle Start a Startup by Wiley, containing topical DIY business books from the publisher of the popular “Dummies” guides, with several titles especially suited to tech startups.

Fixed tiers of $1, $8, and $15 (no new titles added next week).

Quote:
Startup your engines. Oh, we know you've got the next great idea. It's just a question of getting started! This ebook bundle from Wiley will be your guide as you begin your very own business venture. Get Starting a Tech Business: A Practical Guide for Anyone Creating or Designing Applications or Software; The Startup Checklist: 25 Steps to a Scalable, High-Growth Business; The Other "F" Word: How Smart Leaders, Teams, and Entrepreneurs Put Failure to Work; and lots more.
Also still available are Humble Book Bundle Multi-Genre eFiction presented by Night Shade Books containing sfnal works from many well-known authors, and Humble Comics Bundle Sex & Science presented by Top Cow Publishing, containing a mix of in-universe superhero and creator-owned non-superhero titles. And if you play those Pathfinder RPGs from Paizo, the charity fundraising Humble Extra Life Bundle 2017 contains a substantial selection of gaming supplements at all tiers, which may or may not have also been offered in previous HBs.

Bundle of Holding have added to the RPG gamebook offerings: Castles & Crusades +2 and the original Castles & Crusades Essentials, a vaguely historical fantasy adventure game from Troll Lord Games which uses something called the SIEGE Engine rules.

Still available from previous weeks are: Old School Revival +5, containing a mix of assorted games in various genres by smaller and independent designers, and Esteren +2 & Shadows of Esteren, for a French medieval gothic horror game with unusual supplements including music soundtracks and a recipe booklet.
