^ Reading 'About the Author,' it appears as if she is deceased.

I'll check this one out, as I'm not familiar with her name.

Thank you!

She is. I hadn't heard of her either. I went here to check the publication dates of her books. Four horror novels, all republished by Open Road. I figure they will all go on sale at some point.

^ I appreciate the info.

John A. Russo's Black Cat is $0.99 at Amazon US.

SPIRITED FROM THE DARK JUNGLES OF AFRICA TO A PLACE IN THE AMERICAN DESERT . . .

The evil soul of a witch doctor lives on in the body of Simon, the great jungle beast who leads his human followers – the Panther People – in their orgies of lust and blood.

Honestly, the book sounds pretty cheesy. Russo is mainly remembered as the co-author of Night of the Living Dead and that's why I picked this up. Hey, it's a buck.

^ I'm with you on this. It looks like a wonderful, trashy, fun read. And it was originally published in 1982 by Pocket Books.

I mean what the hell, it's only $999,999.01 shy of a million!

Got it.

Thank you!

The Last Resort by Matt Drabble is FREE at Amazon US.

Honestly, I've never heard of Matt Drabble before. The name makes me think of a comic strip character. But the synopsis sounded fun and the price cemented my decision.

When a luxury resort goes quiet, the owner’s son sends in a team to investigate. But the crew, led by ex-military officer Mac, doesn’t realize that they will soon be trapped on an island that’s been overtaken by walking nightmares…

Thanks! I grabbed it

The House on the Moor by William Meikle is $0.99 at Amazon US. It's short, at 108 pages. But it's also cheap.

I had wanted to do an old style Gothic novella for a while, so when I was asked to write a traditional haunted house story I jumped at the chance.

Scotland, a misty moor, an old crumbling manor house, an owner with a scandalous secret, and something skittering in the rafters of the library - you'll find them all here, along with more than a hint of a Hammer horror or two.

Finished this. A bit more enjoyable than a bowel movement. Both enjoyable and laughable at the same time, but very repetitious regarding certain aspects.

An OK read at 99 cents.

Got it.

I think I'll start this today.

Thank you!

Now there's a cover blurb!

Lost Gods by Brom is $1.99 at Amazon US.

A young man descends into Purgatory to save his wife and unborn child in this gorgeous, illustrated tale of wonder and terror from the mind of master storyteller and acclaimed artist Brom.

Mosquito Man by Jeremy Bates is FREE at Amazon US.

After a woman bangs at the door in the middle of the night, and promptly dies from her injury, a couple's remote cabin getaway becomes a psychological night of terror as they are hunted by an unknown assailant. Now they must go far beyond what they thought themselves capable of if they hope to save their young children and survive until morning.

I've read his Suicide Forest and liked that well enough. He tends to label his books as series, but from what I've seen, the books are all stand-alones that follow a theme (Suicide Forest was first in the World's Scariest Places series that focused on actual places with a creepy history). I guess that could make his books formulaic. I've only read one, so I can't say.

[Dr. Drib]

Never heard of the guy, so I went ahead and picked it up.

Thank you!

I've heard of him. He pops up in anthologies and such.
