Final free ebook! Day 5!

Hey all!  Today marks the last day of free ebook promo’s leading up to the release of my novella YURI on October 1st!


Today’s offering is my most recent release, the novella Wagon Buddy!


“Hello Scott,” the creature said, its voice deep and tasting like dirt.


Synopsis:


You ever have an imaginary friend? You know, that made up person that was always there for you, always willing to play with you and letting you confide in them?


“Scott, you wouldn’t like my real name. So how about you just call me your wagon buddy?”


What if your imaginary friend turned out to be real? And not a person at all?


Wagon Buddy tells the tale of a man and his creature, his only friend, who time and time again comes to his aide.

But what happens when you can’t control the creature anymore?


“A fresh and original suspenseful tale with shades of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Steve Stred weaves an amazing story about a childhood connection that grows more sinister and dangerous with age.

After an imaginary friend turns out to be real, and not human at all, a man must make a choice.

Exciting, thrilling, addictively entertaining, Wagon Buddy is a 2018 must read!”


Seb Jenkins, Author of Life After Death

Free ebook Day 4!

Day 4 of the free ebooks!  Today see’s my latest collection of short stories Left Hand Path: 13 more tales of black magick available for free!!


Synopsis:


Do you remember the first time, you heard something go bump in the night?


Or when you first played with the Ouija board and it moved on its own?


What about the last time a movie or book scared you so badly, that you had to turn on all of your lights and make sure your feet were not hanging over the edge?


If any of this rings true, something probably caused you to find this book.


Within this book, the author of Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery, Invisible, Yuri and Wagon Buddy returns to ensure you will be looking behind you frequently while reading.


Left Hand Path: 13 More Tales of Black Magick collects all new tales filled with depravity and retribution.  Brimming with horror, thrills and creepy chills, the reader is sure to find the hairs standing up on the back of their necks and the occult themes causing them to question the true nature of the lights flickering.


When all is said and done, when you finally finish reading this batch of stories, you will have found that at some point, you locked the doors, checked under the bed, and made sure all of the closet doors are closed.


You have been warned.

Free ebook Day 2!

Day 2 of my free ebooks over on Amazon! Today is my debut novel Invisible. Kindly described by Author Justin M. Woodward as “Widow’s Point Meets A Monster Calls.” Grab it today folks!


Synopsis


From the author of Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery, comes his first full length nightmare.



Chased across the country-side by a ravenous beast, haunted by the decisions he has made.

The Lighthouse, where nothing appears to be what it is.


A noise, constantly drawing him in, but keeping him at a distance from answers.

All of it comes to a crescendo, crashing down around him.


Invisible is a gut wrenching ride across a nightmarish landscape, filled with music references, peppered with claustrophobic bouts within the Lighthouse. Part fiction, part auto-biography, Invisible will etch itself into your subconscious long after you have finished reading.

Free ebook day 1!

Hey guys! Each day this week, one of my releases is free through Amazon! Today’s free book is my sci-fi/horror novella Jane: the 816 Chronicles!


Synopsis:


Hope. What lengths would you go to, when all you have is hope? For Jane, known medically as 816, that is all she has. She hopes to be free one day, free from the torture, the captivity and the loneliness. She wants to be free, with her best friend Penny, known medically as 815, experiencing life outside of their caged walls.



Jane: The 816 Chronicles is a story about ‘a being’ discovering the world and people around her. A being discovering that sometimes situations and people are completely outside of her control, but still doing their best to look towards the positive, even when it becomes apparent, that what you see, isn’t always what you get.


Please snag it today while it is free!
