Blurb:

Ellie’s husband owes money to some powerful people. The only way she can save his life is to do one “simple” job — retrieve a mysterious box and kill the courier. But can Ellie pull the trigger? Nothing is at it seems in this pulse-pounding mysterious short story from the “Dark Crossings” anthology by Sean Platt and David Wright.

Why I Chose It:

By now, I think you guys have figured out that I like horror and suspense with a twist of mystery. And that’s what this is. Something about the plot has really excited me for it is just one of those plots… I can’t explain why but something about this type of plot grabs my attention everytime. I just love those twist endings that shock the reader. I love to read and write them. It’s gotten some great reviews from earnest readers and I just want to know what this end plot twist is. This book has me sucked in and if I can find time in my busy schedule, I’ll have to read it. (If you do choose to read it, I’d be interested to know what you think.) Complete at 10k words, this book has an interesting plot with an assumed twist ending – which I adore – and it costs nothing to read! So why not download it?

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!
