Yes, that's one of the deals available. Since I don't like horror, not an option that appeals to me.

I did look to see if there were any deals that got the back-issues of Fantasy Magazine as well, but nothing that made any sense when the entire collection of back-issues can be obtained for $114.90 directly from the website.
A heads-up for you guys.
Kickstarter hacked, user data stolen
Quote:
Hackers hit crowd-funding site Kickstarter and made off with user information, the site said Saturday.

Though no credit card info was taken, the site said, attackers made off with usernames, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords......

You can read additional information about resetting a password here. We've contacted Kickstarter for more info on the attacks and will update this post when we hear back.

Didn't get the email, so thanks for the info. I've deleted my account there - they send me emails all the time, but don't think it necessary to notify my of a security breach. Not funny.

Figures. I finally participate in a Kickstarter, and someone hacks them.


ETA: According to the news story, they were notified of the hacking on Wednesday, so it all happened before I joined. I still changed my thingie.

If the Hackers are really smart, then they will be the ones to send out a mass mailing for a new password - which will then go directly to them, of course.

Bargain at Kobo US:

The Last Hunter - Collected Edition (Antarktos Saga 1-5), by Jeremy Robinson.

5 books for $4.99.

Books:

1. DESCENT
2. PURSUIT
3. ASCENT
4. LAMENT
5. ONSLAUGHT

Goodreads (Very good ratings )

edit: For people who care: No DRM

edit: This book has a very bad Table of Contents. Calibre can fix it: delete the TOC using the TOC Editor, then generate a TOC from the files. After that, you only need to (bulk) rename some entries, and indent it properly. Pity! Otherwise this book is about as good as it gets with regard to layout.

There is a another book, part of the "Origins" series by the same author, called "Antarktos Rising". Kobo US does not have this book.

Just a heads up, this doesn't seem to be downloadable as an epub, heard good things about the book though.

Oh, shoot. I wish I'd known that before I bought it. Then, I probably wouldn't have bought it.

Here's a bundle for a minimum $1 contribution that includes a variety of books.
http://groupees.com/steampunk2
I think most of the books are self-published, but there are two Wildside Press Mega-packs collections, one that includes the Steampunk, Pulp, and Andre Norton mega-packs, the other includes the Mummy, Vampire, Werewolf, and Sci-Fi #1 mega-packs. The downloads include ePub and MOBI formats. The bundle is on sale for another 10 days.

It's been that price at Amazon for a while now. I got it on February 1st and eReaderIQ showed it as being $1.99 since September 2nd so I didn't post it here. Figured someone already had.

It does convert nicely in Calibre at least, I just tested it.

Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor is free on Amazon (FR US).
Quote:
“History is just one damned thing after another” - Arnold Toynbee

A mapcap new slant on history that seems to be everyone's cup of tea...

Behind the seemingly innocuous façade of St Mary's, a different kind of historical research is taking place. They don't do 'time-travel' - they 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time'. Maintaining the appearance of harmless eccentrics is not always within their power - especially given their propensity for causing loud explosions when things get too quiet.

Meet the disaster-magnets of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research as they ricochet around History. Their aim is to observe and document - to try and find the answers to many of History's unanswered questions...and not to die in the process.

But one wrong move and History will fight back - to the death. And, as they soon discover - it's not just History they're fighting.

Follow the catastrophe curve from eleventh-century London to World War I, and from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria. For wherever Historians go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake ...
