I believe this first one was posted back in September in the 2014 thread, but the followup collection doesn't appear to have been posted so I thought I'd share both:

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:
Sweetly the Dragon Dreams by David Farland, fantasy pseudonym of Philip K. Dick Memorial Special Award-winning Star Wars tie-in novel writer Dave Wolverton (ISFDB, Wikipedia), this one actually a sci-fi adventure short originally out in Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show magazine #10 in 2008. On a world in the distant future, where the very name of Earth has been forgotten, a race of technological monsters is hunting down the last “biological infestations” in the galaxy. As doomsday approaches, a young girl and her friend discover a key that might save their world from its fate—if only they can get their alien overlords to pay attention! |

Today only - The 13th Golden Age of Science Fiction Megapack, Lester del Rey (Vol. 2)
The Monday freebie from the good people at Wildside:
The "Golden Age of Science Fiction" MEGAPACK™ ebook anthologies are designed to introduce readers to classic science fiction writers who might otherwise be forgotten. Lester del Rey—one of the all-time greats of the science fiction world—had been well on his way to becoming forgotten before Wildside Press began its reprint program of his classic short fiction. This second volume of his collected short stories includes 10 more great science fiction stories, representing some of his finest science fiction work. Of special note are the stories "Evenson" (his contribution to Harlan Ellison's "Dangerous Visions" anthology) and the novella version of "Nerves" from Astounding Science Fiction (later expanded to novel length). Included are: WIND BETWEEN THE WORLDS EARTHBOUND DARK MISSION EVENSONG THE STARS LOOK DOWN THE STILL WATERS THE ONE-EYED MAN HABIT NERVES SPAWNING GROUND http://www.wildsidepress.com/freebie.htm (If you've visited them before, remember to refresh the page!) |
