New Halloween Story Bundle

This Just Launched!!!

And this new bundle is a great one, curated by Kris. And with great writers in it. I would grab this one quick at Storybundle.com.

Here is Kris’s full blog she wrote about it, explaining the books and writers in it.

THE HALLOWEEN BUNDLE

Curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

I love Halloween. I like it much more than the winter holidays, including Christmas and New Year’s, even though I edit annual winter holiday projects. If I’m going to buy holiday merchandise, I’ll get Halloween merchandise. I love a good Halloween short story too.

Because scary stuff is fun.

Unless it’s real life scary stuff. The people of Lahaina on Maui are going through a very scary time right now. Most of them have lost everything. The fires that tore through that part of the island must have been horrific.

That kind of horror is the kind we don’t want to experience. I thought of them as I put together this StoryBundle of made-up horrors, realizing that real-life horrors are much, much worse. That’s why Maui Strong is our charity for this bundle.

I don’t usually start introductions like this with the charity, but I am with this bundle. You can get all kinds of wonderful Halloween fiction, from collections to novels to anthologies, all for the low price of $20. Four volumes are exclusive to this bundle, and two of the others are so brand-new the shine hasn’t worn off them yet.

The bundle came together quickly. I already knew that I wanted to include my omnibus, FantasyLife And Other Stories, because it’s set on a beach with a lot of terror. We have a real holiday calendar of stories with the anthology Halloween Harvest, edited by Mark Leslie. Mark has his own book of short stories here, which is exclusive to the bundle.

Kevin J. Anderson’s Hair Raising is a brand new book in his popular Dan Shamble zombie series. J.F. Penn let us include her brand new novella, Catacomb, as well. Annie Reed’s Unexpected Monsters shows why she’s gaining a heck of an impressive reputation in the mystery and fantasy field. And then, because we need a bit of levity and strangeness, we’ve included Three Sheets To The Wind, an anthology from the pages of Pulphouse Magazine, edited by Dean Wesley Smith.

However, if you’re counting, you’ll note that there’s only one exclusive listed so far, and I mentioned four. The other three are: Halloween & Beyond by the ever-inventive Robert Jeschonek, Firegazer by Rebecca Cantrell, and Celtic Midnight by Anthea Sharp. You can’t find those books anywhere else, no matter how hard you try.

We started this bundle at the end of September to give you a marvelous reading experience throughout the month of October. But, as you make your purchase, please make sure to add a few dollars for Maui. Help them deal with their real life horrors. In this case, every dollar counts.

    Quick question: In Kris’ intro to the Halloween Story Bundle, she says that Lahaina Strong benefits. but the pull-down says Girls Write Now.
    I have no problem with either of those, but which is it? Or both?
    Thanks, for everything both of you do!
