Done deal. Much obliged. Here's one for you to add by Ashe Armstrong which I gave 3/5 stars, A Demon in the Desert. Although it may be more fantasy than horror.

Not my usual type of book, but:

Deal or No Deal by William Meikle is FREE at Amazon US.

Three beers and a packet of crisps is a tempting offer for your soul when you don't really believe you have one. But when it comes time to pay up, suddenly it doesn't seem like such a sweet deal. You're going to need help, but who are you going to call?

There's one man who might help, a man who knows the nature of deals with the dark side, and the ways of the old city.

Derek Adams, the Midnight Eye, is on the case...

Deal or No Deal? is a case from William Meikle’s gripping urban fantasy/noir detective series, The Midnight Eye Files. The mysteries continue in volume one: The Amulet.

Grabbed that one before. I really should get around to reading it!

[ZodWallop]

In the House of the Dead: A Ghost Club Short Story by William Meikle is FREE at Amazon US.

In Victorian London, a select group of writers, led by Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker and Henry James held an informal Ghost Club, the price of entry to which was the telling of a story by each invited guest.

This is one of the tales.

Lost people are drawn to places where what ails them can be eased. If you have the will, the fortitude, you can peer into another life, where the dead are not gone, where you can see that they thrive and go on

Brian Mulrooney has been drawn to one such house to come to the aid of a bereft friend.

But will the house let him go?

The rest of these Supernatural tales can be found in William Meikle’s The Ghost Club collection, out now from Crystal Lake Publishing—Tales from the Darkest Depths.

Fwiw, 4 of the 7 in that series are free at the moment.

A book I've been looking at is on sale.

Dark Voyage by Helen Susan Swift is on sale for $0.99 at Amazon.

In 1914, fear and paranoia rule the high seas. Young Iain Cosgrove sets sail for a research trip aboard Lady Balgay, the last of Dundee’s once-grand sealing fleet.

Fueled by rum and the crew's eerie tales, they obsess over ancient superstitions, which Iain dismisses as simple lore - until they reach the frigid Arctic seas.

Soon, Iain begins to question his beliefs. But none of them are prepared for what they are about face in the frigid, dark waters of the north.

I have a soft spot for horror in the past and horror on the high seas, so I bought it. The reviews are split at best. But for $0.99 I'll give it a go.

[ZodWallop]

The Red Church by Scott Nicholson is $0.99 at Amazon US.

I bought the book when it was published as a paperback original by Pinnacle back in 2002. This is Scott's first novel, and it does show. but I enjoyed the book.

Stoker Award finalist with more than 100,000 copies sold, from the international bestselling author of McFALL and Drummer Boy. A boy and a sheriff must solve the mystery of a haunted Appalachian church when a strange preacher returns to town.

I have a fondness for the original Pinnacle cover (mine has a quote from Bentley Little, which is what convinced me to buy it).

More cheap/free Scott Nicholson:

Ashes - FREE

A collection of six supernatural stories by Scott Nicholson, including "Homecoming," "The Three-Dollar Corpse" and "She Climbs a Winding Stair," these stories visit haunted islands, disturbed families, and forgotten pasts as Nicholson serves up chills, thrills, ghosts stories, and paranormal fantasy.

The Gorge - $0.99 (originally published as They Hunger)

An experimental rafting expedition, an FBI manhunt for a delusional killer, and the worst storm in decades collide in the remote mountain wilderness...and then THEY come out.

[ZodWallop]

Backwoods Ripper by Anna Willett is FREE at Amazon US.

There's a title about as subtle as a sledgehammer.

After their car gets a flat in the Australian outback, pregnant Paige sets out for help as her husband lies injured. But the stranger she happens upon is no savior…

Reviews compare the book to Misery and Mine, for what that's worth.

Did you read her follow-up? Dark Mountain.

It's not a sequel. Just another book in the same vein.

A few books by Jonathan Janz are on sale. I've read The Dark Game and The Siren and the Spectre. Both quality books, 4/5 rating from me. Haven't yet read The Sorrows. All $0.99 Amazon US.

The Dark Game

Ten writers are selected for a summer-long writing retreat with the most celebrated and reclusive author in the world. Their host is the legendary Roderick Wells. Handsome, enigmatic, and fiendishly talented, Wells promises to teach his pupils about writing, about magic, about the untapped potential that each of them possesses. Most of all, he plans to teach them about the darkness in their hearts.

The writers think they are signing up for a chance at riches and literary prestige. But they are really entering the twisted imagination of a deranged genius, a lethal contest pitting them against one another in a struggle for their sanity and their lives. They have entered into Roderick Wells’s most brilliant and horrible creation.


The Sorrows

The Sorrows, an island off the coast of northern California, and its castle have been uninhabited since a series of gruesome murders in 1925. But its owner needs money, so he allows film composers Ben and Eddie and a couple of their female friends to stay a month in Castle Blackwood. Eddie is certain a haunted castle is just the setting Ben needs to find inspiration for a horror film.

But what they find is more horrific than any movie. Something is waiting for them in the castle. A malevolent being has been trapped for nearly a century. And he’s ready to feed.

The Siren and the Specter

When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different.

Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow.

And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House.

^ They all look good, especially that first one about writers...we all know about writers - a demented group of people who ever shambled upon the face of the earth, if I may say so.

I will attend to all three right now.

Thank you!
