Free (nook) Occultation & Other Stories by Laird Barron [Horror/Dark Fantasy]
Occultation and Other Stories by Laird Barron (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is a collection of his short horror/dark fantasy stories, free courtesy of publisher Night Shade Books.

This is the Free Fridays selection @ B&N and you can read the author's own recommendation for a book he enjoyed over at their weekly blog feature post. This may possibly drop in other stores, or B&N may have secured a promotional exclusive freebie, as they did for other Night Shade titles last year.

Description
Laird Barron has emerged as one of the strongest voices in modern horror and dark fantasy fiction, building on the eldritch tradition pioneered by writers such as H. P. Lovecraft, Peter Straub, and Thomas Ligotti. His stories have garnered critical acclaim and been reprinted in numerous year's best anthologies and nominated for multiple awards, including the Crawford, International Horror Guild, Shirley Jackson, Theodore Sturgeon, and World Fantasy Awards. His debut collection, The Imago Sequence and Other Stories, was the inaugural winner of the Shirley Jackson Award.

He returns with his second collection, Occultation. Pitting ordinary men and women against a carnivorous, chaotic cosmos, Occultation's eight tales of terror (two never before published) include the Theodore Sturgeon and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated story "The Forest" and Shirley Jackson Award nominee "The Lagerstatte." Featuring an introduction by Michael Shea, Occultation brings more of the spine-chillingly sublime cosmic horror Laird Barron's fans have come to expect.

You don't need an actual US credit card. Just need to lie about the billing address on yours (apparently they never check) and if outside the US/Canada use a VPN IP proxy set to a US IP.

And it's all for their DRM scheme, which at least doesn't make you download and register extra software with a central server to be able to get the books at all.
