I already have a complete set, both in hardback First Editions and in ebook.

If you want to read the very best that science fiction has to offer, (before it strayed into the realm of space ships and mere theater), and how GREAT science fiction connects with the very best in humankind, then READ and REJOICE.

From "The Ultimate Egoist", on its preface it says some of the stories in there were unpublished works.

I can't find a way to see all the UK Kindle SF&F deals any more (once again), so I have no idea what the other Monthly Deals are, but it looks like the most recent Hugo winner The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow is one of them, at £0.99.

New release. Cross-posted to Horror.
Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by Paul Tremblay is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

"Paul Tremblay is on fire. . . . As entertaining and pop-culture savvy as this novel can be, it's emotionally wrenching and truly scary."
—Ed Park, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist Same Bed, Different Dreams and An Oral History of Atlantis

Philip K. Dick meets the Coen Brothers in this genre-bending near-future tech nightmare that is as bitingly funny as it is horrifically believable from the New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie.

Meet Julia Flang, a twenty-something former semi-professional gamer, living with her retired uncle, and working two jobs she doesn’t like. Out of the blue, her estranged mother, a CFO for one of the world’s largest tech companies, offers her a temp job with a payday Julia can’t refuse. One sham interview later, she’s offered the job: to chaperone a man in a vegetative state—one with proprietary AI implanted in his head—from California to the East Coast.

To sum up in Julia’s own words: “You want me to remote control this dead dude across the country.” In a word, yes. But he’s not dead dead.

Meet a middle-aged man who wakes within a disorienting hellscape filled with monstrous grotesqueries. Worse than the fluid, morphing reality in which he’s trapped, he has no memory of who he is. He certainly doesn’t remember getting the rabbit tattoo on his arm. He only knows that he must find a certain person. Who? He can’t remember.

Using a cell phone modeled after a video game controller, Julia fumblingly navigates the man she calls “Bernie” from the company campus and onto planes and through one of the largest airports in America. All the while, the man endures an ever-changing and worsening nightmare that offers clues as to who he was—and who he must track down. And as their two lives intertwine, Julia and Bernie become unlikely allies and fugitives on a collision course with reality.

Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep is a heady, horrific genre-bender from one of the most groundbreaking voices in fiction today.

Stations of the Tide by Michael Swanwick is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

The Nebula Award-wining novel from Michael Swanwick—one of the most brilliantly assured and darkly inventive writers of contemporary fiction—a masterwork of radically altered realities and world-shattering seductions.

The Jubilee Tides will drown the continents of the planet Miranda beneath the weight of her own oceans. But as the once-in-two-centuries cataclysm approaches, an even greater catastrophe threatens this dark and dangerous planet of tale-spinners, conjurers, and shapechangers.

A man from the Bureau of Proscribed Technologies has been sent to investigate. For Gregorian has come, a genius renegade scientist and charismatic bush wizard. With magic and forbidden technology, he plans to remake the rotting, dying world in his own evil image—and to force whom or whatever remains on its diminishing surface toward a terrifying and astonishing confrontation with death and transcendence.

This novel of surreal hard SF was compared to the fiction of Gene Wolfe when it was first published, and the author has gone on in the two decades since to become recognized as one of the finest living SF and fantasy writers.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Zoo City by Lauren Beukes is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
I read this back when it had this pretty John Picacio cover: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51w4UfGEv3L.jpg

A new edition of Lauren Beukes's Arthur C Clarke Award-winning novel set in a world where murderers and other criminals acquire magical animals that are mystically bonded to them.

"Beukes's energetic noir phantasmagoria, the winner of this year's Arthur C. Clarke Award, crackles with original ideas ... Beukes skillfully employs all the twists of first-rate noir." —Jeff VanderMeer, The New York Times Book Review**, bestselling author of the** Area X Trilogy

Zinzi has a Sloth on her back, a dirty 419 scam habit, and a talent for finding lost things. When a little old lady turns up dead and the cops confiscate her last paycheck, Zinzi's forced to take on her least favorite kind of job—missing persons.

Being hired by reclusive music producer Odi Huron to find a teenybop pop star should be her ticket out of Zoo City, the festering slum where the criminal underclass and their animal companions live in the shadow of hell's undertow. Instead, it catapults Zinzi deeper into the maw of a city twisted by crime and magic, where she'll be forced to confront the dark secrets of former lives—including her own.

The Secret Market of the Dead by Giovanni De Feo is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

**2026 World Fantasy Awards Finalist for Best Novel

An “enthralling” (Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library and Elusive) Italian-inspired gothic historical fantasy about a young woman who finds her power in the nocturnal realm that lurks beneath her town.**

Just beyond the waking edges of Lucerìa, an 18th-century town in the kingdom of Naples, lies the Night: an enigmatic fiefdom governed by seven immortals and fueled by Moira, the power to reshape one’s destiny.

On this porous border separating Day from Night, Oriana spends her time fantasizing about becoming a smith in her father’s forge and eavesdropping on whispered tales of beasts and men who roam the nocturnal realm. But in the Night, these stories come alive, as Oriana saw for herself after she inadvertently trespassed into the Secret Market of the Dead, where vendors hawk Moira to those desperate enough to accept its immeasurably steep price.

Years later, when her father chooses her twin brother to succeed him, Oriana challenges her sibling to a series of trials to determine the forge’s true heir. But as the twins’ fierce competition escalates, with the town and her own family set firmly against her, Oriana realizes that to break free from the stifling confines of Day, she must once again embrace the Night—and, as always, everything comes with a cost.

I have to say that new look to the Kindle Deals page is atrocious. The never-ending scrolling is bad enough, but if you accidently click on a link and use the back button, it takes you back to the start of the list, not to where you were. I think I will stick to a combination of eReaderIQ and Kobo to find deals and not touch Amazon with a bargepole.

They have a Gene Wolfe bundle at humble bundle. I don't remember reading anything much about him and not sure if I read any of his books. Any opinions on his books in general.
Note I assume this bundle has been already posted so I not including links.
