^ What's this crap with the centered text? [See preview.] And the different point sizes within the body of the main text?

What's up with that?

Inquiring minds (and disembodied brains, along with shuffling zombies) want to know.

I didn't notice that in my quick scan of the converted ePub. Where are you seeing it? I'll check my copy.

You do know it's FREE, right?

I scanned 1, 3 and 4 and didn't notice anything. Maybe it's just the preview.

Yeah, I use 'purchase' in a generic sense.

I hope you're right about the Preview. If it is only in the Preview, why would something like that occur? ----- (Calling all computer gurus for an explanation in English....Not that there's anything wrong with 'gurus' or 'English'!)

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to read it.

That is a good question. I suppose my AZW could have all those error and Calibre fixed them all in the conversion to ePub. I doubt it. But who knows?

Yeah, I get that. I only post freebies when the story sounds especially intriguing or if the author is someone I've heard of. The story on this one sounds like nothing new.

But I do know of Ike Hamill and have purchased a couple of his books. Haven't read them. But at least a few of his books had the right combination of synopsis magic and reviews to make me part with my $$$

Darn it! Your last paragraph convinced me...but it's low on my TBR. Or is that high on my TBR?

I cannot be liable for the $0.00 you've wasted on the title if it turns out to be bad.

Anyway, inquiring minds want to know, if you scan your 'pruchased' book, does it have the same errors as the preview?

If it's perfect, could it be the great American novel?

You mean the one by Philip Roth?

Gills by Abe Moss is $0.99 at Amazon US.

I wasn't sure about sharing this one. I have The Writhing by Abe, but I haven't yet read it (I could copy/paste this statement from so many of my messages). But there's two things in its favor:
  1. Mermaid horror
  2. That cover

Also, the reviews are very good.

Quote:
They're beautiful. They're alluring. But don't get too close. The women of the sea are starving...

Georgia Woodrow isn't winning any prizes for Daughter of the Year--it's been far too long since she last visited home, for starters. But after receiving a late-night phone call from her father, she finds it impossible to stay away...

Georgia's sister has gone missing. Sixteen years old, vanished in the dead of night, and hardly a clue to go on. No friends, no lovers, no belongings taken. However, after flying home to be with their father, Georgia soon uncovers a strange secret of her sister's--a dark fascination Georgia can't begin to understand, but which leads her to the dark shores at the edge of town...

...to the ocean deep, where a blood-soaked mystery threatens to claim Georgia just as it's claimed so many lives before her.

^ ....and click on the Preview and then click on the link inside; and then give him your email address and get "The Final Babysitter" for free.

I've done that and am now awaiting a confirming email in order to get this novelette.

ADDED: Got the email and now have the ebook. Ready to start reading.

That would give me three unread Abe Moss books. This year, I'm telling myself I'm going to focus more on horror and even if I don't make a dent in my TBR, at least read some of the authors whose books I have.
