Starting tomorrow, a few Crossroad Press titles will be free for the next two days (May 16-17) at Amazon. Click the cover image to view the Amazon listing.

First, book one of G. Wayne Miller's Thunder Rise trilogy. This one saw publication in the early '90s as a mass market paperback.


Something is happening to the children of Morgantown...

One by one, they are claimed by a strange illness that cannot be identified.

Night after night, they are haunted by terrifying creatures that invade their dreams.

Moment to moment, they dread the final hours of daylight. When the towering mountain called Thunder Rise casts its shadow over the town. When childhood innocence surrenders to primal fear. When evil reaches out—and into—their minds.

The other two books in the trilogy, Asylum and Summer Place, were never published prior to now and Wayne explains the books' history in the introduction.




Next, Brian Hodge's Deathgrip



His touch can heal or harm. His fate is solitary. His agony belongs to us all…

He was born on a day of pain: November 22, 1963. He came of age in agony: that moment of tragedy when fun-loving rock-and-roll deejay Paul Handler discovered the inexplicable power in his own hands.

It is the power to make the wounded whole again. The power to make the lame walk and to heal the sick. It is a power that will sap his soul and plunge him into the world of a famous faith healer. It is a power that can turn to rage, even murder. It is a gift that makes Paul Handler a living, breathing human sacrifice.

For thousands of years, a secret cabal has guarded the lineage to which Paul is heir — scapegoats who have been forced to bear humanity's anguish upon themselves. Now, while the cabal searches for him, and one man seeks to destroy him, Paul makes a lonely, frightening journey to the core of his identity and to his destiny … to all the pain his soul can bear, to all the redemption he can give, to the freedom that is death.

Finally, while not horror, Alma Mater by P.F. Kluge:


An alumnus of Kenyon College as well as a faculty member, Kluge presents a knowledgeable examination of the dynamics, character, traditions, tensions, and pretensions of the small, private, and costly school. Famous teachers include John Crowe Ransom, and famous students include E.L. Doctorow.

I'll try to update this thread each week with any books that will be free for one or more days.
