Good and Evil and Other Stories by Samanta Schweblin is £1 in the UK (Kobo, Amazon)
Translated by Megan McDowell.
When it was on sale in the US, I only posted about it in the "Fiction (everything else)" forum.

The Global Bestseller from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted Author of Fever Dream

A young mother steps into the water, determined to end her life. What will bring her back?

For a single moment, a baby is left unattended in a room of everyday dangers.

In a high-rise apartment block, in a city far from home, a ghost appears.

When a lonely woman acts on a kind impulse the consequences will be dark, bold and revelatory.

From the thrice International Booker nominated author of Fever Dream and Little Eyes come six perfect terrors to change your days and haunt your dreams.

Slashed Beauties by A. Rushby is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

A gothic feminist body horror in two timelines revolving around three Anatomical Venuses—ultrarealistic wax figures of women—that come to life at night to murder men who have wronged them.

Seoul, present day. Antiques dealer Alys’s task is nearly complete. She has at last secured Elizabeth, the final anatomical Venus in a dangerously intertwined trio. Crafted in eighteenth-century London and modeled after real-life sex workers to entice male medical students to study female anatomy, these eerie wax figures, known as slashed beauties, carry unsavory lore. Legend has it that the figures are bewitched, and come to life at night to murder men who have wronged them. Now Alys embarks for England, where she knows what she must do: sever her cursed connection to the Venuses once and for all.

London, 1763. Abandoned and penniless in Covent Garden, wide-eyed Eleanor and another young woman, Emily, are taken under the wing of beautiful and beguiling Elizabeth, one of the city’s most highly desired courtesans. But as Eleanor is seduced deeper into a web of money, materialism, and men, it seems that Elizabeth may not be the savior she appears to be.

As past and present begin to intersect, it becomes clear that the women’s stories are linked in deeper, darker ways than it initially seems. And that the only method for Alys to end the witchcraft that binds her legacy is to gather all three models in one place and destroy them.

The problem is, Elizabeth is not ready to burn. Far from it. Centuries on, she is determined to rise again, and she will obliterate anything standing in her path. Including Alys herself.

The Terror by Dan Simmons is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (Entertainment Weekly).

The men on board the HMS Terror — part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage — are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of encroaching ice and darkness. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in.

“The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years.” —Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe

Have not read yet, though I was listening to the audiobook version narrated by the great John Rafter Lee before Libby "returned" my book and wouldn't let me renew it.

Christine by Stephen King is $3 at Amazon and Kobo. King books don't stay on sale long, so get it while the getting is good.

I usually put up a plot synopsis, but instead I'll use this:

Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle is $2 at Amazon and Kobo.

I'll be honest, I'm iffy on this one, because of Chuck's earlier... works. But I pulled the trigger. Fingers crossed.

Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.

But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.

Misha refuses, but he soon realizes that he’s just put a target on his back. And what’s worse, monsters from his horror movie days are stalking him and his friends through the hills above Los Angeles.

Haunted by his past, Misha must risk his entire future—before the horrors from the silver screen find a way to bury him for good.

The Staircase in the Woods by Chuck Wendig is $2 at Amazon and Kobo.

Something about the simple surreal idea of this one is really compelling to me. Maybe because it feels wide open and anything could happen.

Five high school friends are bonded by an oath to protect one another no matter what.

Then, on a camping trip in the middle of the forest, they find something extraordinary: a mysterious staircase to nowhere.

One friend walks up—and never comes back down. Then the staircase disappears.

Twenty years later, the staircase has reappeared. Now the group returns to find the lost boy—and what lies beyond the staircase in the woods....

Bent Heavens by Daniel Kraus is $3 at Amazon and Kobo.

Liv Fleming's father went missing more than two years ago, not long after he claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Liv has long accepted that he's dead, though that doesn't mean she has given up their traditions. Every Sunday, she and her lifelong friend Doug Monk trudge through the woods to check the traps Lee left behind, traps he set to catch the aliens he so desperately believed were after him.

But Liv is done with childhood fantasies. Done pretending she believes her father's absurd theories. Done going through the motions for Doug's sake. However, on the very day she chooses to destroy the traps, she discovers in one of them a creature so inhuman it can only be one thing. In that moment, she's faced with a painful realization: her dad was telling the truth. And no one believed him.

Now, she and Doug have a choice to make. They can turn the alien over to the authorities…or they can take matters into their own hands.
