The Black Hunger by Nicholas Pullen is $3 at Amazon and Kobo

A spine-tingling, queer gothic horror novel where two men are drawn into an otherworldly spiral.

“A gothic masterpiece. A devastating exploration of humanity's capacity for evil."​ —Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters

John Sackville will soon be dead. Shadows writhe in the corners of his cell as he mourns the death of his secret lover and as the gnawing hunger inside him grows impossible to ignore.

He must write his last testament before it is too late.

The story he tells will take us to the darkest part of the human soul. It is a tale of otherworldly creatures, ancient cults, and a terrifying journey from the stone circles of Scotland to the icy peaks of Tibet.

It is a tale that will take us to the end of the world.

It by Stephen King is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers.

Never Flinch by Stephen King is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to “kill thirteen innocents and one guilty” in “an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man,” Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? Izzy turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help.

Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women’s rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate’s message of female empowerment is targeting her, disrupting her events, and growing bolder. Holly is hired to be Kate’s bodyguard—a challenging task with a headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and his belief in his own righteousness.

Featuring a riveting cast of characters, including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder, King’s twinned narratives converge in a chilling and spectacular conclusion—a feat of storytelling only this master of suspense and horror could pull off.

Probably a one day sale.

Saw this yesterday and it's still going. Jaws by Peter Benchley is $1.99 at Amazon (oddly enough, not on sale at the other retailers).

I only read Swan Song, but I found it disappointing. The symbolism felt very simplistic and obvious, particularly around the faces that emerge from beneath the Job's mask (the villain's new face is a skull! Because he's evil!).

Mr. Shivers by Robert Jackson Bennett is $2 at Amazon and Kobo.

I've had this on my watchlist for a bit. I've long been interested in hobos during the great depression and there are surprisingly few fictional stories about them (I'd highly recommend the graphic novel Kings in Disguise and the movie Emperor of the North if you're also interested in them). So just seeing the hobo sign on the cover of a horror novel was enough for me to want the book.

In this gothic horror adventure, a father hunts for vengeance in Depression-era America.

"[Reads] like a collaboration between Stephen King and John Steinbeck. . . . Bennett makes dark fantasy feel like gritty realism, achieving a rare laconic eloquence that will captivate horror readers hungry for new voices." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Set against the desolate backdrop of the Great Depression comes a literary debut novel that will reignite the horror genre.

It is the time of the Great Depression.

Thousands have left their homes looking for a better life, a new life. But Marcus Connelly is not one of them. He searches for one thing, and one thing only. Revenge.

Because out there, riding the rails, stalking the camps, is the scarred vagrant who murdered Connelly's daughter. No one knows him, but everyone knows his name: Mr. Shivers.

In this extraordinary debut, Robert Jackson Bennett tells the story of an America haunted by murder and desperation. A world in which one man must face a dark truth and answer the question-how much is he willing to sacrifice for his satisfaction?

Thanks! That sounds right up my alley. I loved Lucius Shepard's FTRA article (and fictional "Two Trains Running"), and of course "Sullivan's Travels" is one of my favorite movies.
