Woohoo! The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey reduced to $1.99 from Simon & Schuster. YA only because of a young narrator. Get the audio for $3.99.

Rick Yancy's novels about the montrumologist are some of the best horror novels EVER written, in my opinion.
I advise everyone who loves horror novels to give that first one a read. Don |

Yep - picked it up. I was saying - nah, kids stuff. And then I read a review or two and thought it was worth a risk. Then I read the posts here and thought .... "justifiiiiiiiied"

I have it in my library, too, and had never started it. It was a freebie at Sony, September 2009, but I am not a true horror fan, so it remained unread.
I have no problem when something is just scary, but when there is a lot of very descriptive gore, I don't do as well. Those of you that have read this book, is it really gory? |

Yes, it's gory in parts (in my opinion). But it's one of the most literate horror novels I've ever read. Don |

I don't know if this is a sale price or not, but it's a good price and highly recommended in reviews.
The Memory Tree by John R. Little from Cemetery Dance for $2.99. One reviewer advises not to read the introduction until after reading the book as it gives too much of the plot away. Also available at Kobo and coupons can apply. Latest Kobo coupon maysave40 for 40% off. Quote:

John Harwood's The Ghost Writer is $1.99 at Amazon US in today's Kindle Daily Deal. It's a really creepy if somewhat predictable Gothic ghost story; I recommend it highly.
