Human Flesh by Nick Clausen is $0.99 at Amazon US.

I've taken the synopsis from Amazon. There is a second paragraph after this that somewhat spoils the mystery.

The book is presented as a modern epistolary/nonfiction book, à la Dracula or Carrie. Honestly, that's what prompted me to buy it.

They never caught it

During the winter of 2017, a series of strange occurrences took place in a small town of northern Maine. A rational explanation for what happened has still not been presented. Now, for the first time, all available evidence is being released to the public from what is commonly known as the Freyston case.

The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley is $2.99 on Amazon.com
This is a novella, with a bonus short story.
Cross-posted to the SF&F forum.

Somewhere away from the cities and towns, in the Valley of the Rocks, a society of men and boys gather around the fire each night to listen to their history recounted by Nate, the storyteller. Requested most often by the group is the tale of the death of all women.

They are the last generation.

One evening, Nate brings back new secrets from the woods; peculiar mushrooms are growing from the ground where the women’s bodies lie buried. These are the first signs of a strange and insidious presence unlike anything ever known before…

Discover the Beauty.

Second Lives by P.D. Cacek is $0.99 at Amazon US. This is one of the Flame Tree Press/Fiction Without Frontiers books.

P.D. Cacek is one of those writers whose work I always used to see in the used book store horror sections.

When four patients unexpectedly wake after being declared dead, their families are ecstatic and the word “miracle” begins to be whispered throughout the hospital. But the jubilation is short lived when the patients don’t respond to their names and insist they are different people. It is suggested all four are suffering from fugue states until one of the doctors recognizes a name and verifies that he not only knew the girl but was there when she died in 1992. It soon becomes obvious that the bodies of the four patients are now inhabited by the souls of people long dead.

Thanks! I bought it to compare and contrast with the VERY similar MacGuffin of Lucius Shepard's Green Eyes.

One interesting thing: neither seems to be a horror story.

Yeah. Even though Green Eyes is sci-fi, I have seen it placed in the horror section at Half Price Books. (while looking for Dan Simmons, another infamous "what genre are we writing in today?" author).

I read The Ballad of Black Tom a few years ago. Memories are a little hazy, but I remember enjoying it. I read it around the time I read Lovecraft Country

I've not read Blindness by Jose Saramago, but I remember when the book came out. It sounds terrific.

Hello all, been a while.

The Pale White by Chad Lutzke
Amazon US $0.99

After being held against their will in a house used for trafficking, three girls plan their escape.

Alex: A hardened goth-punk who’s convinced she’s a vampire with a penchant for blood.
Stacia: A seventeen-year-old raised by an alcoholic mother, her fellow captives the only family she’s ever truly had.
Kammie: The youngest of the three—a mute who finds solace in a houseplant.

But does life outside the house offer the freedom they’d envisioned? Or is it too late, the scars too deep?

A coming-of-age tale of revenge and survival that explores a friendship and the desperate measures taken to ensure they stay united, held together by the scars that bind them.
