Morbid Mondays: Free eBook of the Week – To Read Or Not To Read

Blurb:

‘To Read or Not to Read’ is a short story by Vincent Hobbes. It was first published in ‘The Endlands’ (Jan. 2011)
Gunter von Strauss owns a small bookstore. He carries something for everyone’s taste.
He also carefully inspects each book, making sure they are safe to read.
Who knew that choosing the wrong book could carry such a consequence.

Why I Chose It:

I guess my opinion of the author, Vincent Hobbes, is a little biased because I’ve read his work in the “The Endlands”, a horror anthology, and I have also talked to him before. This short story sounds really captivates me. Don’t you just want to know what happens if you choose the wrong book? Don’t you? Vincent never fails to come up with these wonderful, never-before-thought-of plots that work at so well for him. He’s a great talent on the rise and this FREE short story of his is something everyone should take a look at!

Morbid Mondays: Free eBook of The Week – Dark Clouds

Blurb:

Matt always knew when his mother was about to arrive: the wind would swirl from every direction at once and dark clouds would mass in the sky. He and his pretty wife, Teri, try to get out of the way, but as the Witch’s Son, Matt is drawn into a spider’s web. And the cost for getting out of that web is paid in blood.

Why I Chose It:

I like Scott Bury. He has interviewed on this blog before and I have also read and reviewed one of his books here. His stories are very good and well-crafted, all with fun, thought-provoking plots. Because of that, this piece is on my to-read list. I am a developing horror fan and this book is one of those books that really has me intrigued. I can’t rave about the thousands of extraordinary reviews it has received for once because it is too new to have received any, but I will say that because of the intriguing plot, skilled author and of course BECAUSE IT’S FREE, this book is a must-read.
