The Horror Short Reads Bundle
Interstellar Flight Press is participating in the February Horror Short Reads Bundle from StoryBundle! For $20, readers can get 22 horror novellas, including Small Gods of Calamity by Sam Kyung Yoo.
This bundle is curated by Mike Allen, who has this to say about the stories:We live in a new golden age for horror fiction, spurred by surging readership and technological advances in publishing, and no form of narrative has benefited more from this renaissance than the horror novella.
The notion that novellas prove the best vessels for horror has for decades been the conventional wisdom among connoisseurs. The incontrovertible evidence dates back to masterpieces like J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Carmilla,” Algernon Blackwood’s “The Willows,” Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw,” H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Shadow Over Innsmouth,” and many others. Recent decades continued this excellence — consider the stories collected in Stephen King’s Different Seasons, or Clive Barker’s “The Hell-Bound Heart,” Elizabeth Engstrom’s “When Darkness Loves Us,” or Victor LaValle’s “The Ballad of Black Tom,” to name just a few.
The short novels and novellas that I’ve assembled for this Horror Short Reads e-book bundle are sure to introduce you to new favorites and reacquaint you with favorites from the past.
This overflowing cornucopia of a StoryBundle explores all the permutations of the horror novella, providing 22 tales of terror penned by 21 authors, ranging from career grand masters to up-and-comers making their debuts. These bodybag-wrapped meaty morsels include 18 standalone novellas and short novels, plus the anthology A Sinister Quartet, which holds four more novellas.
You’ll find pulse-pounding thrillers and slow-burning noir, supernatural and psychological terror, narratives mind-bending and straightforward, the bloody and the subtle, even dark humor.
For those who love a good scare, horror can be comfort food, a thrill ride of the soul that’s completely under your control, even as the words on the page make you feel shiveringly otherwise. There’s fuel here for many an enjoyably sleepless night. Bon appétit! — Mike Allen
