The Ghost Writer by John Harwood is $2.99 at Amazon US.

$2.99 is a bit higher than what I would usually share when it's an author I've not read yet myself. But this book sounds much better, denser and more literary than most horror novels.

Quote:
Timid, solitary librarian Gerard Freeman lives for just two things: his elusive pen pal, Alice, and a story he found hidden in his mother’s drawer years ago. Written by his great-grandmother Viola, it hints at his mother’s role in a sinister crime. And as he discovers more of Viola’s chilling tales, he realizes that they might hold the key to finding Alice and unveiling his family’s mystery.

But upon returning to his ancestral home in England, Gerard finds that the stories-within-stories of his past begin to blur the lines between fact, fiction, and fantasy. They’re also driving him so deep into the dark that he might not be able to see what’s right in front of him until it’s too late.
Edit: The book has been $1.99 in the past and it looks like I also picked up his book The Asylum (though clearly I haven't read it yet). He has a third book: The Séance. He seems to like writing Gothics.

Undead Worlds 3 - A Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Anthology has just released with the promotional price of $0.99 at Amazon US. (Also in KU.)

This is from a specialty indie house, The Reanimated Writers Press. I read the first UW anthology and gave it 4 stars, for what that's worth.

Slender Man by Anonymous is $1.99 at Amazon US.

I'm hesitant about sharing this. The author being anonymous, jeeze

But the book is published by HarperCollins, so it feels a little more legit. And it's an epistolary novel, made up of journals, news articles and online conversations. Sounds fun.

Quote:
One man’s search for the truth about one of the most intriguing urban legends ever—the modern bogeyman, Slender Man—leads him down a dark, dangerous path in this creepy supernatural fantasy that will make you question where the line between dark myth and terrifying reality begins.

Lauren Bailey has disappeared. As friends at her exclusive school speculate on what happened and the police search for answers, Matt Barker dreams of trees and a black sky . . . and something drawing closer.

Through fragments of journals, news stories, and online conversations, a figure begins to emerge—a tall, slender figure—and all divisions between fiction and delusion, between nightmare and reality, begin to fall.

Chilling, eerie, and addictively readable, Slender Man is a unique spine-tingling story and a brilliant and frightening look at one of the most fascinating—and diabolical—mythical figures in modern times.

Another promising book: The Devouring God by James Kendley is $0.99 at Amazon US.

Quote:
It’s been three years since security guard Tohru Takuda and his reluctant band of monster hunters defeated the Kappa of the Naga River. Now, a mysterious artifact is driving innocents in Southern Japan to flay their friends alive, and the grisly murders turn Takuda’s world upside down. Disheartened and impoverished, he struggles to lead his rag-tag team to find the artifact before it poisons the entire nation. Takuda is caught between the police, the bloodthirsty murderers, and forces conspiring to harness the artifact’s horrible powers.

And all the while, he must watch his back, because the most dangerous killer may be lurking among his own men…
Unfortunately, the book is a sequel. But the first book, The Drowning God is only $3.99 at full price (and it has been on sale for $0.99 in the past).

Thanks for that. I have his Dead Letters, but haven't read it yet. But I think I'll give the Halloween Tale a whirl when I finish Horrorstor. 'Tis the time of year.

Dead Branches by Benjamin Langley
Amazon US $0.99

When Thomas Tilbrook receives a letter telling him that his estranged father is dying, he realises it’s finally time to go back to the Cambridgeshire Fens. But going back evokes memories of the last time he saw his father—memories that he can’t entirely trust.

Thomas remembers the summer of 1990 like it was yesterday: long hot days in the sun, watching the World Cup on TV… and his best friend John going missing.

He remembers how the silence of the adults had forced him to investigate what had happened to John with his brother and cousins. After all, who knew the hidden pathways and secrets of a village better than they did? Could it have been the local bogeyman Shaky Jake? Could one of the creatures on his deck of horror cards have been responsible? Could it be the dead tree with the sinister smile that watched him from a nearby field?

…or could the truth be closer to home and far worse than he could ever possibly have imagined?

Cold Storage by David Koepp is $1.99 at Amazon US.


Koepp is a famous screenwriter (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man) and director. His movies Trigger Effect, Secret Window and especially A Stir of Echoes are worth checking out.


This appears to be his first book. This looks to be a thriller in the Chrichton, Preston/Child vein, which isn't really my bag. But I gave it a shot.

Quote:
They thought it was contained. They were wrong.

When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. He contained it and buried it in cold storage deep beneath a little-used military repository.
Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. Only Diaz knows how to stop it.

He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards—one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again. All they have is luck, fearlessness, and a mordant sense of humor. Will that be enough to save all of humanity?

Could it have been the local bogeyman Shaky Jake?
The character name Shaky Jake (and the price) were enough for me to buy it.

I don't read much (any) horror/supernatural, but I did notice that Kindle US is having a "Save on scary reads this week on Kindle" sale through Oct 27 that seems to have a fair number of horror/supernatural titles. I wouldn't have a clue as to how to pick out good ones, so you'll just have to take a look for yourself...

link to the sale page: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_acsd..._i=11552285011

The link opens with "best-sellers" and some categories at the top, but if you page down, there eventually is a section called "All" that shows everything in the sale....
