Another Freebie: The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey [OFFER ENDED]

lilac_jive · 09-22-2009, 09:01 AM

On Sony (not sure if elsewhere)

Quote:

These are the secrets I have kept. This is the trust I never betrayed.

But he is dead now and has been for more than forty years, the one who gave me his trust, the one for whom I kept these secrets.

The one who saved me...and the one who cursed me.

So begins the journal of Will Henry, orphaned assistant to Dr. Pellinore War throp, a man with a most unusual specialty: monstrumology, the study of monsters. In his time with the doctor, Will has met many a mysterious late-night visitor, and seen things he never imagined were real. But when a grave robber comes calling in the middle of the night with a grueso me find, he brings with him their most deadly case yet.

Critically acclaimed author Rick Yancey has written a gothic tour de force that explores the darkest heart of man and monster and asks the question: When does a man become the very thing he hunts?

I haven't been picking up as many freebies lately since my TBR pile is huge, but I think I'll grab this one

A BIG thank you for this one. This is my kind of book.

I now have it for my Sony.

Amazon still lists this one at $9.99

This is apparently a brand new book. Fictionwise is showing a pre-order status for today (this morning).

No prob

It shows that it's free for a limited time, so make sure if you want it grab it up people!

lilac_jive probably already reported on these other 2 freebies from the Sony ebook store (she's usually first to find and report these things,) but I didn't see it anywhere, so here goes . . .

Urge to Kill
by John Lutz

and . . .

According to Jane
by Marilyn Brant

I apologize if it's already posted somewhere.

You bet I did! Never anything wrong with posting it in lots of places though so no one misses them!

Got it, thanks

bavardage · 09-22-2009, 05:51 PM

FUUUU
This is only available to North American sony owners

Why do us europeans never get any freebies?
Makes me sad.

PennyPie · 09-22-2009, 05:57 PM

Thanks!!! My TBR stack is evergrowing!

bookratt · 09-23-2009, 12:32 AM

candytx · 09-23-2009, 09:19 AM

This is on Kindle now too... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OTKEKQ

From Publishers Weekly:

"Yancey keeps the shocks frequent and shrouded in a splattery miasma of blood, bone, pus, and maggots."

Now, I ask you: Isn't that a lot better than a house full of felines rubbing up against your legs and whining for food, and getting fur in your nostrils, and changing the litter box once every three months?

Give me a maggot or two and throw in some pus, and I'm all yours, BABY!

Not only sad, but actually quite upset. I fail to see why it couldn't be available worldwide. Even if I don't own a Sony, stuff like this doesn't really entice me to buy one either.

Except for the blood, bone, pus, and maggots parts, yeh.

Lemurion · 09-23-2009, 06:07 PM

I'm almost finished - it's a very good book.

I'm only 5 chapters in but I'm really enjoying this book. Scary.
