Chasing
Tale is a regular look at the e-books I've recently downloaded and
added to my to-be-read pile. Some are review copies forwarded to me,
some are purchases from Amazon's Kindle Store or elsewhere, and
others are freebies that caught my eye.
The
hits just keep on coming. The summer is heating up with a lot of new
releases and the occasional freebie. Here are some that I've recently
added to my gigantic to-be-read pile.
Solstice
by
Donna Burgess -
Donna sent me a review copy of her new novel. It's got a slick cover
and a cool premise, so there's two checks in the win column.
Hopefully it'll hold up when it comes time to read it.
Ancient
Images by
Ramsey Campbell -
Samhain Horror published this novel last year (an older title from 1989) and offered it free for
a limited time in May. I grabbed it. I didn't even know they had
Ramsey Campbell on the roster. Interesting.
Four in the Morning by Malon Edwards, Ed Erdelac, Lincoln Crisler, & Tim Marquitz - These four talented authors have banded together to present four novellas in one handy collection. 'Nuff said.

Bottled
Abyss by
Benjamin Kane
Ethridge -
Ed Kurtz and the Redrum Horror gang sent me an ARC for one of their
new books. I read Benjamin's Black
and Orange
last year and liked it, so I'll be interested in what this book is
like.
King
City by
Lee Goldberg -
Lee is a machine when it comes to writing, judging by his output. He's practically a brand--and maybe a robot. Someone look into that.
House
of Skin by
Jonathan Janz -
I really enjoyed Jonathan's first novel with Samhain's horror lineup,
The Sorrows,
and I've got a good feeling I will not be disappointed by his
sophomore effort. I'm not sure when it's due for release, but if it's
not on shelves yet, keep your eyes peeled.
The Frenzy Way by Gregory Lamberson - I first heard about Greg and his work on an episode of the Funky Werepig podcast a couple years ago. Well, it was offered free on the Kindle Store for a limited time, but Canadians were ineligible (regional settings and all). Lamberson to the rescue, however, who sent me a review copy in PDF format. Thanks again, Greg.

Into
a Long Ago Future by
Jodi Lee -
Jodi's a talented editor, but she also writes her own stuff and was
kind enough to send me a collection of her stories for review. I've
checked out the New Bedlam stuff, a close-to-the-heart- project of
hers, but not her stuff set outside that universe. Should be
interesting.
The Eyes of Water by Alison Littlewood - The latest chapbook from Spectral Press is out this summer, and with a backdrop of underwater caves in Mexico, I suspect some great creepy writing.
Six Days by Kelli Owen - Kelli's latest book is out through Thunderstorm Books. I snagged it at an introductory price, so it might be a little higher by now. Either way, she wowed me with her novella, The Neighborhood, a little while back so this was an easy get.

Echoes
of the Past (Demon Squad #4) by
Tim Marquitz -
I've read and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in Tim's Demon
Squad series, and he recently sent me a review copy of the fourth
installment. I haven't gotten round to reading the third book though,
so this one will have to wait.
Killing Down the Roman Line by Tim McGregor - I read and reviewed Tim's novel, Bad Wolf, last year. Now he has a new novel of a completely different sort out and he was generous enough to send me a review copy.

Overkill
by
Steven Shrewsbury -
Steven's latest offering through Seventh Star Press hit the market
recently, so I downloaded my copy. I haven't read Steve's work yet,
but I've heard good things.
Red
Penny Papers: Spring 2012 edited
by KV Taylor &
John Cash
- The latest issue of Red
Penny came
online in May. You can check it out on their website and read it that
way, but I'm partial to downloading the e-book version, which I got
via Smashwords (but it's only available as an e-book for a very limited time).
Dead
End Deal by
Allen Wyler -
I don't gravitate towards technical thrillers, but I'm always up for
pushing my boundaries when it comes to reading, so when the folks at
Astor + Blue offered a review copy of this new medical thriller, I
decided I'd add it to my to-be-read pile.
And there you have it. Lots of books. What catches your eye?
