The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross is $0.99 at Amazon US.
Sort of a mix of mundane office work and the Elder Gods. Quote:

Yeah, there appears to be some unscrupulous person who adds these unbelievable prices to what would normally be an average-going price for an item.

You mean I won't be able to sell my copies of Mammoth Best New Horror and retire like a king?

In many cases, apparently, the person posting such hefty price tags for a book doesn't even have the item. But if they get a sucker willing to pay the full price, you can bet they'll hustle and *get* a copy...

Also, I have the 'one-click' purchase always activated. I would hate to think what might happen if I accidentally hit the wrong button! |

I can't count how many times "phantom clicks" put things into my shopping cart. I think a click from a screensaver sometimes does it for me. Never got burned by a thousand-dollar book, though!

We should count ourselves lucky, although it may be only a matter of time.

A nice, long read. I read it when it first came out, in 1996 (?). I even have a First U.S.A. Edition.
In mass paperback (at one time), they had to split it into more than one volume, it was so thick. The trade paper is very nice to hold and read, but the easiest is, of course, the ebook. |
