The SF&S Binge Reader Bundle

Posted on by

I am so pleased that The Faerie Summer Bundle, curated by Jamie Ferguson, is now part of the SF&F Binge Reader Bundle through StoryBundle.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch, the curator of this Bundle of Bundles explains it very well here: https://storybundle.com/blog/sffbingereaderbundle/, but basically, this one bundle of bundles will take care of all your reading needs for the rest of the summer and, if you’re a slow reader like me, probably into the fall.

The total bundle includes at least 19 novels and about 100 short stories—we haven’t actually counted them. All shades of SF and fantasy. For $5 US, you get four bundles, including Faerie Summer, which contains one of my stories (“Skywalkers”)! And if you pay $15 you get all 10 bundles of goodness. As well you get the option to donate to AbleGamers, a charity that helps people with disabilities participate in the world of high tech gaming by customizing equipment.

The SF&F Binge Reader Bundle is only available for another couple of weeks, so if you like science fiction and fantasy, check out this amazing deal.

The initial titles in the Bundle Bundle (minimum $5 to purchase) are:

  • The Digital Sea Complete Box Set by Thomas K. Carpenter
  • Uncollected Anthology: Year 1 by Uncollected Anthology
  • The Fates Trilogy by Kristine Grayson

More praise for Shelter

Posted on by

From Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s November 2016 Recommended Reading List:

Dubé, Marcelle, Shelter, Falcon Ridge Publishing, 2016. Marcelle Dubé has long been one of my favorite writers. Her stories are quietly deceptive. They creep up on you, and make you think.

Ash Gantry is on the run from her abusive husband. She finally finds a place she wants to stay, but she has to confront demons—hers as well as some that exist in the town itself.

Shelter is exactly the kind of novel I’d craved for a long time. Not romantic suspense, exactly. More like a gothic women’s fiction novel, complete with ghost.

The novel has a marvelous sense of dread. The dread got so severe that I finally had to make a decision: set the novel aside or read it on one lump to the end. Of course, I opted to finish it. Marvelous book, dark and rewarding.

Recommended Reading List: November 2016
