New freebie from Wildside Press for this Tuesday:
The Fantômas Megapack® by the late Pierre Souvestre (
Wikipedia) and the late Marcel Allain (
Wikipedia), containing the first 5 novels about their titular French cult-hit master criminal (
Wikipedia). Fun fact: the X-Men comics character Fantomex was named for him.
The Fantômas books, created and written by Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain, form one of the longest-running and most famous crime series in France. Fantômas first appeared in 1911 and was featured in a total of 32 volumes written by the two collaborators, then a subsequent 11 volumes written by Allain alone after Souvestre’s death. The character was also the basis of various film, television, and comic book adaptations. In the history of crime fiction, he represents a transition from Gothic novel villains of the 19th century to modern-day serial killers.
A reminder that the
Humble Audiobook Bundle R. A. Salvatore's Demon Wars Saga, containing dramatized full-cast audiobook adaptations of the popular Forgotten Realms tie-in novelist's original fantasy series, plus a new e-book novella, expires tomorrow on Wednesday at 11 AM Pacific Time. Also, StoryBundle's
Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off Bundle is still good for the next week, although apparently several of the books are regularly offered free or at discount sale prices.
Bundle of Holding are repeating their popular
Torg bundle of sf/fantasy RPG guidebooks from the popular 1990s game which seems to be set on an alternate history Earth, as well as adding a 2nd
Torg bundle with additional content, and also offering something called
Mongoose Traveller which appears to be a far future science fiction RPG, if you're interested.
