Joe Hill has presented something original and dark with KING SORROW, and as he often does, there’s a definite kick in the feels that is likely to take away your breath, even if you see it coming. That’s sort of his signature.

Grab a copy and judge for yourself!

I put KING SORROW somewhere between NOS4A2 and HEART-SHAPED BOX, the latter of which might still be my favorite from the author. If you like creative, dark contemporary fantasy with elements of horror, you cannot go wrong with any of those three books.

It blows my mind to see a sale like this, but here you go. Joe Hill’s King Sorrow (released in October this year) audiobook is $3.99 on Apple Books.

A novel: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, by Stephen Graham Jones.

A novel: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, by Stephen Graham Jones.

Finished up this just now. Once I got about 1/3 through I couldn't set it down. Some of the creepiest body horror, vampire horror I've ever read. The historical context adds a thick layer of sadness for everything that has gone before. I'll have nightmares about prairie dogs and big fish tonite.

I’m not sure what will conclude the month.

And of course, Richard Matheson’s Hell House (first the book, then the movie) will be part of the mix.

I’ll be picking up a new Stephen King audiobook this year, although I haven’t settled on one yet. I may also listen to β€œSalem’s Lot” again, perhaps my favorite of his pure horror works. β€œThe Dead Zone” is probably my favorite of his horror-adjacent books.

It’s that time of year, with ghosts snd goblins and every manner of other horror.

This year, I started reading a little early, working through Laird Barron’s amazing anthologies.

Next comes Stephen Graham Jones’s Indian Lake Trilogy. Cara Gee’s narration on β€œMy Heart Is A Chainsaw” is perfect.

This is the Kobo Plus link. Kobo is an international book retailer. Kobo Plus is their subscription service. Unlimited access to their vast catalog of ebooks for a reasonable price, and the publishers don't have to enter into an egregious exclusivity agreement.

Definitely!

However, I’d recommend checking to see if Google takes books from aggregators. You’re probably best off simply applying directly.

Google is an odd one. I’ve heard plenty of folks griping that they can’t get onto the platform, but I lucked into it. They announced they were re-opening it for authors, I submitted, and I got in on my first try. It has been my #1 or #2 store for the last few years.

Kobo is not a predatory monopolist like Amazon. There is no exclusivity.

Kobo’s setup is among the easiest out there. Google Play’s is also easy.

Each retailer seems to have a different sort of audience. Non-Amazon stores take time to find that audience (assuming it’s there). Did you publish in Kobo Plus (their analog to Kindle Unlimited)? I make more from that than Kobo retail sales.
