Morbid Mondays: Free eBook of the Week – Dust
Blurb:
A hungry alien substance has traveled to Earth following a doomed Lunar mission. No life form stands a chance, but Clyde Jackson is tougher than most. He’s seen war and he’s been in plenty of foxholes. Now he’s living through the end of the world one day at a time in a panic room that has become his only refuge.
Originally featured in The Absent Willow Review, “Dust” is the haunting meditation of a man recalling the final days of a once mighty and hopeful planet now quickly eroding to nothing under drifts of gray.
Why I Chose It:
First off, this book was a recommendation from an author friend of mine, Vincent Hobbes, an extremely talented horror author. If you don’t know him, I should tell you that if he likes something, it’s usually pretty darn good. And he loves this book. This book looks really intriguing – blurb and cover – and I am a fan of the horror genre so it’s right up my alley. In addition, it seems to have an interesting spin on things with the unique premise, and it has great reviews. Plus, it’s FREE! (I’ll be reading it ASAP.)

Plus, the editor (a multi-published author) gave me and my writing prowess high praise! Check it out if you have time and I’d love comment here about what you thought to further inflate my ego (just kidding, well, sorta.) Here it is!
