Curiosities 9, Appointment In Time Released; Also New Untreed Reads Sale Via Smashwords

Speaking of steampunk, let us recall just two posts back “Appointment in Time” (cf. December 16, et al.), my tale of clockwork and celebration originally published in YEAR’S END: 14 TALES OF HOLIDAY HORROR (Untreed Reads, 2012). As they say, “It’s B-a-a-a-ack!,” in this case in CURIOSITIES #9, having made its hoped for release date before this year’s end with about a week and a half to spare.

Quoting the blurb: Ten tales of horror and dark fantasy, each with the retro-vintage flair readers have come to appreciate from the CURIOSITIES anthology series. A poet makes a passage with death. A solitary monster meets another. Nazi war experiments run amuck on the Eastern Front. Unsettling sounds follow you through the New England woods. A sea captain takes in a mermaid, though it may be his doom. One very monstrous clock. And more. From the gothic to the grotesque, these exhibits will have you trading your steampunk browns for gothic blacks, and back again. “Appointment in Time” is the one about clocks, in final fiction spot in the contents, with more to be found, including ordering, by pressing here.

Then second, coincidence on coincidence, Untreed Reads has announced a new 50-percent off sale through the end of the year with my part in the mix “Appointment in Time,” this time as the lead off in, yes, YEAR’S END: 14 TALES OF HOLIDAY HORROR. The vendor in this case is Smashwords, more on which may be found by pressing here.
