I explored the various different types of fears in an anthology I edited and which was recently released by WMG Publishing. FICTION RIVER: FEEL THE FEAR is an anthology that explores a concept inspired by the Douglas E. Winter quote that "horror is not a genre but an emotion."
Fear is a universal element that is pervasive through all genres. It is certainly an element that I enjoy reading about and, of course, also writing about.
But, during October, more folks are inclined to want to explore fear and horror and dark chills.
Which is why I am absolutely thrilled (and perhaps a little chilled) to have both my anthology FEEL THE FEAR and my horror novel I, DEATH included in an amazing StoryBundle.
Curated by editor and writer extraordinaire, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, this amazing StoryBundle contains 10 full length books that assemble all the various fears.
- Show Trial by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
- Last Call by Sean Costello
- The Night Killers by Rebecca M. Senese
- Fiction River: Feel the Fear by Mark Leslie
- Calling Dead by Dean Wesley Smith
- Immortal Clay by Michael Warren Lucas
- I, Death by Mark Leslie
- When the Moon Over Kualina Mountain Comes by Leah Cutter
- Gates of Hell by J.F. Penn
- One-Way Ticket to Midnight by Gary Jonas
This bundle is available only for a limited time via http://www.storybundle.com.
It allows easy reading on computers, smartphones, and tablets as well
as Kindle and other ereaders via file transfer, email, and other
methods. You get multiple DRM-free formats (.epub and .mobi) for all
books!
And, while this StoryBundle focuses on fear, the writers here understand that while they can't alleviate all of the fears felt by the victims of so many devastating natural
disasters taking place, they can help with their dollars. So the assigned charity for this
particular StoryBundle is the American Red Cross, with donations
earmarked to Puerto Rico relief.
Below are just a few selected reviews from books in the bundle.
Show Trial by Kristine Kathryn Rusch"Deeply evocative, it breathes menace from every page and memorably conveys what Rusch calls the 'casual evil' that suffused Germany as the Nazis came to power."
– The Daily Mail (London) on Hitler’s Angel
Last Call by Sean Costello"When Mr. Costello said this book was not for the faint-hearted he wasn't kidding. I had to put the book down for a bit just to catch my breath. This story scared the bejeepers out of me."
– Amazon Review
Immortal Clay by Michael Warren Lucas"This was a book full of non-stop action and strange goings on. I found myself unable to put it down and the chapters raced by quickly."
– Alex Kourvo, Writing Slices blog
I, Death by Mark Leslie"If you're looking for an easy, yet uniquely written, fast-paced read, I, Death is a thrill with comedic undertones that will leave you both satisfied and disturbed, but in the greatest way possible."
– Amazon Review
Gates of Hell by J.F. Penn"JF Penn writes like she has the hordes of Hades after her. Fast-paced, smart, and so much fun."
– Simon Toyne, bestselling author of the Sanctus trilogy
One-Way Ticket to Midnight by Gary Jonas"Jonas has written a well-paced trip through the mean streets of Tulsa infused with music and magic."
– The Denver Post
Go ahead, get your fear on. Treat yourself this Halloween season to a fantastic bundle by writers I am honored to be sharing the same space with. .
