The Everything Box by Richard Kadrey is $2 in the US. (Kobo, Amazon)
This is the first time it's on sale, after the sequel being on sale many times before.
Quote:
A dark and humorous story involving a doomsday gizmo, a horde of baddies determined to possess its power, and a clever thief who must steal it back . . . again and again.

22000 B.C. A beautiful, ambitious angel stands on a mountaintop, surveying the world and its little inhabitants below. He smiles because soon, the last of humanity who survived the great flood will meet its end, too. And he should know. He’s going to play a big part in it. Our angel usually doesn’t get to do field work, and if he does well, he’s certain he’ll get a big promotion.

And now it’s time . . . .

The angel reaches into his pocket for the instrument of humanity’s doom. Must be in the other pocket. Then he frantically begins to pat himself down. Dejected, he realizes he has lost the object. Looking over the Earth at all that could have been, the majestic angel utters a single word.

“Crap.”

2015. A thief named Coop—a specialist in purloining magic objects—steals and delivers a small box to the mysterious client who engaged his services. Coop doesn’t know that his latest job could be the end of him—and the rest of the world. Suddenly he finds himself in the company of The Department of Peculiar Science, a fearsome enforcement agency that polices the odd and strange. The box isn’t just a supernatural heirloom with quaint powers, they tell him.

It’s a doomsday device. They think . . .

And suddenly, everyone is out to get it.

Anyone good?

I don't mean that dismissively, the authors just don't appear to be anyone I've heard of, so it's hard to assess.

There are a couple of titles from G. S. Jennsen that will likely be good. I've read a bunch of her work and have enjoyed it.

I also saw that the first book from Joseph R. Lallo's "Big Sigma" series of books is on the list. I seem to remember it being a good read when I read it a number of years ago.

I'll confess that I've not heard of most of the authors on the list myself but the synopses of a number of titles looked interesting and "free" is a good price for me to pay for a chance to discover some new authors to follow.

The GS Jennsen ones are short stories and it turns out the whole series of them is free at least at Amazon UK.

They appear to be spinoffs for a novel series, though.

On the way to other things, I noticed one of Open Road Media's public domain editions is free right now: the short story, The Vampyre, by John William Polidori. (Of course, there are also nice versions of this in MR's Patricia Clark Memorial Library, but if you want it natively in your Kindle or Kobo library, here's your chance for free.) And my experience of Open Road's public domain books is that they are generally pretty good, especially compared to what often ends up on Kindle or Kobo. So here are links...

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N14SZSN
Kobo US: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-vampyre-22

Spoiler:
Quote:
This classic vampire story has inspired generations of authors, from Bram Stoker to Charlaine Harris.

A young English gentleman of means, Aubrey is immediately intrigued by Lord Ruthven, the mysterious newcomer among society’s elite. His unknown origin and curious behavior tantalizes Aubrey’s imagination. But the young man soon discovers a sinister character hidden behind his new friend’s glamorous facade.

When the two are set upon by bandits while traveling together in Europe, Ruthven is fatally injured. Before drawing his last breath, he makes the odd request that Aubrey keep his death and crimes secret for a year and a day. But when Ruthven resurfaces in London—making overtures toward Aubrey’s sister—Aubrey realizes this immortal fiend is a vampyre.

John William Polidori’s The Vampyre is both a classic tale of gothic horror and the progenitor of the modern romantic vampire myth that has been fodder for artists ranging from Anne Rice to Alan Ball to Francis Ford Coppola. Originally published in 1819, many decades before Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and misattributed to Polidori’s friend Lord Byron, The Vampyre has kept readers up at night for nearly two hundred years.


Oh, and there are a couple of non-fiction Open Road public domain titles free right now too - see this post.

After the Forest by Kell Woods is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
Was on my wishlist.
Quote:
A dark and enchanting fantasy debut that explores the repercussions of a childhood filled with magic and a young woman contending with the truth of “happily ever after.”

Ginger. Honey. Cinnamon. Flour.

Twenty years after the witch in the gingerbread house, Greta and Hans are struggling to get by. Their mother and stepmother are long dead, Hans is deeply in debt from gambling, and the countryside lies in ruin, its people starving in the aftermath of a brutal war.

Greta has a secret, though: the witch's grimoire, hidden away and whispering in Greta's ear for the past two decades, and the recipe inside that makes the best gingerbread you've ever tasted. As long as she can bake, Greta can keep her small family afloat.

But in a village full of superstition, Greta and her mysteriously addictive gingerbread, not to mention the rumors about her childhood misadventures, is a source of gossip and suspicion.

And now, dark magic is returning to the woods and Greta's magic—magic she is still trying to understand—may be the only thing that can save her. If it doesn't kill her first.
