Not sure if this is a sale or a permanent price drop but has been on my wishlist for quite awhile to eventually get, was 4.99 and is now 99 cents

Halloween Season
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F37PLWB...v_ov_lig_dp_it

Halloween is the most wonderful part of the year for many of us. For dedicated fans, the season begins when the leaves start turning autumn colors and doesn’t finish until Hallowtide ends in November. With it comes a whole lot of fun: scary movies and stories, haunted houses, seasonal sweets, spooky decorations, costume parties, and of course trick or treat. But Halloween is also a deeply spiritual time for some; it’s an opportunity to remember and honor loved ones who have passed on.
Master storyteller Lucy A. Snyder has filled her cauldron with everything that Halloween means to her and distilled it into a spell-binding volume of stories. Within these pages you’ll find thrills and chills, hilarity and horrors, the sweet and the naughty.

Snow by Ronald Malfi is currently on sale for 1.99, a good book. Have in paperback

https://www.amazon.com/Snow-Ronald-M...=ast_author_dp

Looks like it is not on sale with Kobo currently

“Some ‘old school’ horror storytelling of the highest degree” from the award-winning author of Bone White (Bloody Disgusting).

They come in with the snow. They are the snow . . .

The blizzard begins pummeling the Midwest on Christmas Eve, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Todd Curry doesn’t need another reason to disappoint his son, so he joins three other people in renting the last four-wheel drive available and they set out into the blinding snow.

Only two hours into the treacherous trip west, Todd swerves to avoid a man in the middle of the highway. The stranger claims his daughter is lost somewhere out in the snow. Though his odd demeanor and ripped clothes make Todd and his group uneasy, they agree to take the man to the nearest town—if the now-damaged car can make it.

What awaits them at the next exit, however, is nothing they could have imagined. Around an empty town square, fires burn, cars are abandoned, storefronts are smashed. And there is no one to be seen—for now . .

Also looks like The Ascent is on sale for 1.99 --- says best price in 30 days but does not have a crossed out regular price, so may just be new pricing?

Grabbed this one as it was one I actually didn't own from author

An “adventure story of man against the elements with man being the most dangerous element of all” by the award-winning author of Bone White (Publishers Weekly).

Six months after he almost died in a caving accident, sculptor Tim Overleigh spends his time crutching his broken body from bar to bar in downtown Annapolis. He has told no one that it was his dead wife, Hannah, who helped him survive—and that he’s still seeing her . . .

But a chance meeting with an old friend—and a plane ticket to Kathmandu—reawaken Tim’s passion for adventure. He agrees to join an expedition to one of the last unexplored places on earth: the Canyon of Souls in the Himalayas. The daunting climb will pit Tim and the other climbers against icy winds, mysterious forces, and the ghosts that live within each of them.

These may not be that good most likely although I really like Ronald Kelly, and he does the intro for Book 9 below

I found this sale the other day and grabbed it -- this author has books on Kindle Unlimited and I really like what I've read by him. The series usually has the books of his The Spread series 99 cents for first two, then 1.99, then up 3.99/4.99 each - or the KU route

For a sale time, the entire series in a "digital box set" is $1.49 - so I grabbed it the other day. While I haven't read this series, I really do enjoy the author's other stuff I've sampled, and it's under two dollars for a gamble of six of his e-books

Ghost Radio by Leopoldo Gout is $1.99 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo. I thought I had this one already, but I guess not.

A ghost story call-in program opens a doorway into the paranormal in Ghost Radio, an utterly original and intensely creepy first novel by filmmaker, composer, and graphic novelist Leopoldo Gout. Booklist calls Ghost Radio, “A deliciously creepy yarn,” and its publication immediately elevates author Gout into the august ranks of the masters Stephen King, Peter Straub, Dean Koontz, and acclaimed, award-winning relative newcomer Joe (Heart-Shaped Box, Horns) Hill.

The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Novella. Coincidentally, I'm currently reading my hardcover edition.

You may think you know how the fairy tale goes: a mermaid comes to shore and weds the prince. But what the fables forget is that mermaids have teeth. And now, her daughters have devoured the kingdom and burned it to ashes.

On the run, the mermaid is joined by a mysterious plague doctor with a darkness of their own. Deep in the eerie, snow-crusted forest, the pair stumble upon a village of ageless children who thirst for blood, and the three “saints” who control them.

The mermaid and her doctor must embrace the cruelest parts of their true nature if they hope to survive.

An older anthology on sale for 1.99 from Harper Collins, 999

Great line up for horror authors and was a Bram Stoker winner in 2010 for Anthologies

Kobo

From award-winning author and “master anthologist”* Al Sarrantonio, 999: Twenty-Nine Original Tales of Horror and Suspense is a specially curated collection of evocative fiction that probes the depth of human fears and frailties. From otherworldly entities stalking prey to psychological terrors borne of trauma, these stories exemplify the limitless possibilities inherent in the genre, revealing that darkness can be found anywhere the imagination dares to look for it.

Sacrament by Clive Barker is $3 at Amazon, but not B&N and Kobo

I read this book WAAAAAAAAAY back when, but don't really remember anything about it. I don't believe it is really a horror story. Mainly I remember a big deal being made at the time about the central character being a gay man (though I don't think that is the focus of the story).

Will Rabjohns, perhaps the most famous wildlife photographer in the world, has made his reputation chronicling the fates of endangered species. But after a terrible accident, Will is left in a coma. And in its depths, he revisits the wildernesses of his youth and relives his life with a mysterious couple who have influenced his life as an artist and a man.

When Will awakens, he sets out on a journey of self-discovery -- one where he will penetrate the ultimate mystery and finally unlock the secret of his destiny.

Soaring, provocative and passionate, Sacrament is a masterwork from the pen of one of today's moist acclaimed authors.

'Salem's Lot by that up-and-comer Stevie King is on sale for $3. Great October read. Amazon, B&N, Kobo US

The master of terror brings a new evil to small town America. It’s captivated readers for decades and it will captivate you. Great for readers who love exploring the dark possibilities of the world—including vampires—it’s a horror classic.

Ben Mears has returned to Jerusalem’s Lot in hopes that exploring the history of the Marsten House, an old mansion long the subject of rumor and speculation, will help him cast out his personal devils and provide inspiration for his new book.

But when two young boys venture into the woods, and only one returns alive, Mears begins to realize that something sinister is at work.

In fact, his hometown is under siege from forces of darkness far beyond his imagination. And only he, with a small group of allies, can hope to contain the evil that is growing within the borders of this small New England town.

With this, his second novel, Stephen King established himself as an indisputable master of American horror, able to transform the old conceits of the genre into something fresh and all the more frightening for taking place in a familiar, idyllic locale.
